Maybe Pelinka and D&D can get together to remedy the situation.




Pelinka: "He is my King."

Person hands Pelinka CBA:

"I don' wan' eet"

Yeah, I think that part is pretty obvious. They either forgot about it, or didn’t realize the ramifications of having the deal occur on July 6th. Pelinka kinda seems like the new Vlade

There is absolutely no excuse here. It is amazing how many NBA GMs have very little understanding of the CBA. If you aren’t a Daryl Morey type, you better have a nerd working for you who can point this stuff out.

Oh, I thought this was a tweet. This is basically a message board discussion on TV

It's a whole bunch of what should have happened and no what's going to happen.

She says that the Lakers has to call the Pels after the media started reporting on the issue

Jesus.

I’m sure Griff laughed, or more likely just didn’t answer his phone.

It is.

Hell, I'd imagine Griffin was aware, so I'd be surprised if he didn't bring it up himself for more assets.

Griffin was 100% aware. I’m sure he didn’t bring it up on purpose.

He made the picks in the trade the way they were for a reason. He wants them to be terrible in 3-5 years.

I must over estimate how much these teams talk while negotiating a trade.

I would think this would come up during discussions.

Griff: I know you want to hang on to Kuzma but you're pretty much going to have to dump him if you want to sign a 3rd max guy. So you might as well send him over.

Pelinka: ........ Uh yeah.. of course......*muffled* frick!.....

IF it’s true, I’m thinking that Griffin noticed that they never brought it up so he sure as hell didn’t.

Even if the Pels don’t have a great season, its fricking amazing how our front office managed to completely own the Lakers between this situation and destroying their entire team chemistry last season with the trade leaks. There’s probably 28 other front offices quietly applauding the Pels for sticking it to the Lakers twice in 4 months

He probably re-calculated their cap so many times when they started fighting to keep Kuzma.
