Not as awkward as you saying Paul George is injury prone.

Well the Clippers made the playoffs last year and the Lakers you’re talking about would probably lose 60+ games.

Are you sure? That doesn’t seem all that awkward.

Avery Bradley to the Lakers

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn Once guard Avery Bradley clears waivers today, he plans to sign a two-year, $9.7M deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, his agent Bill Duffy of @BDA_Sports tells ESPN. Bradley will have a player option on the second season.

So both teams would handle an injury to one of their top 2 guys seemingly completely differently, right?

I know it’s fun to lol at the Lakers for internet purposes but Pelinka has done 100x better than Magic at filling out this roster

Not that the bar was that high anyways lmao

His shooting was awful last season, but they desperately need that defensive presence he'll bring....provided he still plays D...I don't think i've watched him play in years lol

I’d assume.

What’s going on? You’re weirding me out.

If you can't see the difference in a 20 game injury to a Lakers star compared to a Clippers star, I don't think i'm the guy that will be able to help you out here.

He seemed to find a little something with Memphis. Maybe he can regroup and have a nice season.

I think they were probably holding this spot for Iggy but it doesn’t look like he’s going to get bought out

Super small sample size but he finished the season really strong with Memphis last year iirc

I’m super low on Iggy moving forward. I have a feeling he’s about to have a major drop off and struggle mightily as he finishes his career.

They've put together a reasonable team, and that is about it.

Given all they gave up, their team is no where near worth what it should be.

They are not really title contenders to be honest with this team. They will likely be a playoff team if their two key players (LeBron and AD) stay healthy, but if either misses significant time, they'll be scrambling to get to the 8 seed.

They are relying on a lot of guys that are aging, coming off serious injuries, or struggling to bounce back and be major contributors. That is a problem.

You're also forgetting that their coach is not very good.
