So how embarrassing is it that the Lakers had no backup plan and now are loafing around while young players have to watch their peers play in summer league games. Deandre Hunter, Hayes, Jordan Bone, NAW; all can’t play due to incompetency, feel bad for them


Lakers signed Rondo, KCP, Green, Cousins, McGee, Caruso, and Cook in a 16 hour period.

They had a hell of a backup plan.

lol what exactly do you think a "good" backup plan should have been? Tell the guys who had already committed to other teams not to sign contracts?

No team with a legit shot at Kawhi would have walked away and started eating up cap space when FA started. And players weren't going to wait around.

means a lot for guys drafted and potential two-way players to get oriented to specific system. Reps are always important. Do the wins and losses? No. The development. Absolutely.


Meh. Very few make the clubs.

It is a good time to orient players in your system

The Lakers was who I was talking about. They have no young players to orient. And young players ain’t doing anything on Lakers.

uld assume the kids who just got drafted would like to participate in their first NBA team event. Especially Bone, was picked 57th, he still has to prove he can get a two way



You started taking about Lakers. Now it is Pels. Makes no sense.

Pels can still play.

Lakers don’t need a summer league. You already looked like an arse mentioning hunter.and I let that slide.

Not because of incompetence.

And that ain’t the Lakers problem.

Hunter isn’t impacted by not being at summer league.

Yes he is. He didn't play.

It's also bad business on the Lakers end. Them holding up all these deals is slowing down other organization workings.

Ans it hardly matters.

This board was laughing at Lakers and how they didn’t make the trade correctly.

Now they are mad because they did. Lol

The Lakers only have to worry about themselves. Don’t blame them cause Griffin made a bad deal.

Whitlock nailed this Kawhi to clipper thing Friday. Gave reasons why he picked them as the place, and was 100% spot on.

NO sources needed



Broussard looks like a fool yet again
