On the topic of tampering, are we just cool with steve Ballmer literally going to raptor games?


Lol there was a good thread on reddit a while back about how Ballmer has members of the Clippers organization at literally every Raptors game borderline stalking Kawhi

The Knicks pick will likely trump anything that any team can currently offer.

Our beloved New Orleans Pellies have no choice but to stand pat and see how that plays out.

That offer Magic threw out yesterday was an overpay. We can agree to disagree.


An overpay? It was essentially the rights to pay Ingram a max deal and a couple picks in the late 20s

Meh. Of course you should expect this to circle back around at some point, but like most Lakersboyz otb have said time and again, it’s not like Davis is the only option to pair with Lebron.

It's not just about "getting a lesser package". Lesser players and shipping him out East is a bigger win to me than getting a little more and having to see him in the playoffs every year. Tell me which western conference team or fans besides LA wouldn't agree. I don't think its a question he goes out west. The best part is that LA just released the biggest package they could and we haven't even gotten our offers from Bos and NYK. LA is desperate but even more concerning, possibly hopeless.

Have you guys seen the trades that were made for Paul George, Kyrie, Butler, and Kawhi?

The only one of those players on AD's level is Kawhi and he was coming off of a weird injury, so there were questions there.

You would think the Lakers are the team that’s won 3 of the last 4 titles with the way GMs and coaches like Popovich get asshurt when the Lakers come after a star player lmao

It's the way your organization goes about it. Entitled, as if you deserve the best players or some shite. Getting LeBron didn't help with the egos

Do you really think they have been "bidding on themselves" while offering all of this extra stuff? They obviously want to get it done before NYK gets their lottery or Bos can offer a package. And they won't so it will be extremely difficult to offer anything else.

See, I don't get this logic.

If you got the best Lakers deal, the Lakers know the only reason you'll ever come back to them is if Boston and/or NY don't match.

Then you either have Boston come over the top or you're stuck with the Lakers knowing the market dropped. NY is wholly dependent on the lottery bc they have little outside that.

would it be better if we sent laker employees and jeanie to every single game in NOLA to watch/speak to AD? legit asking cause we may need to change our tactics considering our ways of tampering arent working and it seems like the clippers way of doing so is fine

I would literally rather take JUST the Knicks pick (if top 3) or JUST Tatum from BOS than the Lakers packages I've seen so far.

At this point I don’t care if he walks next summer for nothing. This all started with Rich Paul, Lebron, and the Lakers organization so frick ‘em all. I’d ship him anywhere else out of spite at this point.
