NBA Season 2017/18
-
Lakers continue to make waves. They waive rights to Julius Randle to avoid getting locked into a multi year situation. They've signed Rajan Rondo to a one year deal along with Stevenson and McGee. That takes the pressure off Lonzo Ball and I guess Isiah Thomas might be looking for a new team soon. I don't think they are done yet, but it looks like they are building for this season and waiting to pick up Kawhi on the cheap next year when he becomes a free agent, so they dont have to surrender the future (Kuzma, Ingram) to get him. Nice

It's so strange. They are rushing to get their hands on mediocre players and I have no idea why.
Hard to see the Lakers competing this year with Lebron surrounded by Ball, Ingram, Kuzma, Stephenson, Rondo.
Seems they are keeping their powder dry for next season when they can get Kawhi, Davis, Towns, Klay etc

I know LBJ just had a magnificent season. But, he is old. Can they afford to wait another year to have a crack at it?

Maybe they think they would need to give up their future to load up now, as opposed to waiting next year and getting the best of both worlds? Whatever you think of those players LBJ will make them better. And they can get rid of them after a year

He's injured until January anyway... makes a bit of sense from his perspective.
Yup. Can chip in when he's ready rather than be a centrepiece

arms race!

Man.....thats just not cricket!
Now the GSW have all the infinity stones.....RIP NBA...lol -
NBA can get fucked with that trade. 5 All stars in one team 3 who are starters!
All Lebron needs to piece together is Giannis, Porzingis, Simmons, Embidd, Kawhai and Harding (mid season trade) and hes good

Boogie = David West?
I wish for the old days when GSW were shit and Mullin was their only decent player.

Nope this is who they signed. When he leaves they will say 'remember boogie he was once a warrior'

And what a flat top Chris Mullin had. But you forget about Tim Hardaway and his famous crossover dribble.

Yes, that was a great hairstyle, rivaled only by Detlef Schrempf.
Mullin was the first of that generation though. When Mitch Richmond joined we had Run TMC.

I'm pretty disgusted by the Boogie signing. How on earth can the GSW have the cash to throw at yet another All Star even for just one season? And what does this mean for next season? A fucking inevitable result I'd say.
May as well just start the 2018/19 finals now but give the Celtics a three game start so there's some interest in it, and get 2019/20 underway.

Yep thats about the size of it. He needed Kawhai with him as it was in order to compete with GSW, but now he needs at least one more All Star and it's highly unlikely to happen.
