They are tanking their draft value Those rumors definitely hurt them. This Lakers is doomed if they don't get the AD deal done because among bigger names free agents like KD, Kyrie, Kawhi, Butler, none of them seems to be interested in joining LA. One exception maybe Boogie Cousins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
My Dinner With Andre 5,803 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Twitter is saying Reggie Bullock is heading to the Lakers. Reggie Bullock. 27 and an expiring contract. That doesn't make sense to me...unless the next move is to gut the roster for AD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He immediately becomes one of the best floor spacers on the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bullock is expiring contract, Mykhailiuk is under contract , but next season is non-guaranteed. Looks like Lakers are opening even more cap space for the summer. IMO it means Lakers know AD is not coming until after 2019/2020 season Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do you expect when management and Lebron threw half the team under the bus. ******** pathetic. Why can’t Lebron go to one team without causing more drama for the team than the rest of the teams history combined. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't say that I have heard anything like that about Butler or Boogie, however. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nospmoht04 293 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Clippers are the 8th seed in the west and traded away Tobias. They now have Muscala as their only PF. They get Two first rounders in the deal and 1 is 2021 unprotected Miami. Wonder if they’re going for Davis this week with SGA and 3 first round picks. Plus the Clippers are on AD’s fake list Edited February 6, 2019 by nospmoht04 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nospmoht04 293 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Still don’t think NO would do that. Two of the first rounders will be late round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HotSauce24 320 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The Boston Celtics currently have Kings 2019 1st Rounder and the Clippers 2019 1st Rounder, top 14 protected. After the Tobias Harris trade, the Clippers are clearly looking to tank for the rest of the season and pick up free agents in the summer, so it's very likely that their pick will not convey this year. Since they are tanking, they very likely will fall below the Kings in the standing, further decreasing the value of the Kings pick. And to top it all off, they sent Tobias to Philly who now has a spooky starting lineup. Thanks, Jerry. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMO it means Lakers know AD is not coming until after 2019/2020 season Lakers are making a move for AD, they need players who can at least play or start if they trade half the roster. If they can AD with LBJ, Bullock is immediately the starting SF or SG, considering that Hart, Kuz and Ingram are all rumored to be part of the package together with Stephenson. They will have zero wings left. Lakers strategy is crystal clear- get rid of any future contracts except for AD and LBJ. Sign Melo for rest of the season, traded for bullock who is gonna be FA. They will fill up the roster with fillers just for the sake of competing. Then build the team around AD and LBJ in the off-season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
