Man, Maginka thought they were so smart getting the jump on Javale. If we let the Warrirors resign Javale, Boogie would be here. What a freaking backfire. The irony here is similar to Cavs trading for JC and Nance allowing us to sign Lebron.


Let's be fair though. LeGM has a hand in this...so we do not know if he wanted Cousins on the team or not.

LeGM is pulling strings along with Magic and Pelinka...just like he did in Cleveland and Miami.

So we let Randle go to New Orleans which triggered cousins going to warriors. We should just trade Lonzo to Houston and Ball to the Celtics for a 2nd rounder. Than kuzma, Hart and every pick we can gather for Pau. Let's help out all our competitors. Dumb team. They have no idea what they are doing.

Trade for Kawhi


It makes more sense than ever to NOT. Keep our assets and add him. Cause you ain't beating the Warriors.


I agree. This year's Golden St. team will probably be the best ever by the time we get to March. If anything, Pop should lower the ask because the only reason to deal for Kawhi now is to contend this year and it's not happening anyway.

Good point.


Rumor is he will be ready for December or January.

Now playing for the Warriors, he can take his time in returning. No need to rush it.

Fisher: Source close to the DeMarcus Cousins situation tells me, with no cynicism: "He’s going to the Warriors to rehab."

He won't be a factor and is most likely just there to get a free ring and than cash out in free agency in 2019.

Which makes it such a great move from the Warriors' perspective. Aside from maybe Boston and Rockets, they're the one team that can afford to wait it out with him and not worry about exhausting a roster spot for most of the year.

Brook will continue to be underappreciated and quietly sign for another year.

People can (bleep) off with the Howard stuff.

If Cousins only took MLE, he must not be feeling that confident about his abilities.


No, this is an F**k you to New Orleans for not believing in him.

He was going to beat them in the playoffs no matter how low the fee.

Gotta respect that about him.

Now we need to do the same with Dwight! Let him resurrect his name in the city where it first turned to sh*t...


There is no frickin way Dwight is in a Laker uniform next year. Shaq has better odds of being on the roster.


Tell me the team you are putting out there to beat the Warriors.

I hear you complaining but I haven't seen your solution.

Maybe you have a better idea... my mind is open if you know someone else that can neutralize Boogie.


You're not beating the Warriors--you never were. We were always looking to next year. Unfortunately, it seems we want to "win now" (although the moves we've made don't actually accomplish that) and I'm sure Magic and Pelinka won't be able to hold their wad trading for Kawhi. Lebron will be miserable with this roster.


We can... they will be the favorites but we can if we get Dwight. No way can Boogie stop Dwight, Bron, BI, Kuzma slashing at him with Rondo and Zo's passes feeding them with pinpoint accuracy.

Boogie will have three fouls by the first quarter every game.

Also LG: Lol, Cousins won't be ready until playoffs.

One shouldn't assume that events necessarily happen in the order that the media reports them.

Wasn't that what they said of the 2004 lakers? Malone,Kobe,Shaq,Payton.

We saw how that turned out. At some point, its going to be too many cooks, spoil the pot. This isn't nba 2k18

I am just happy a lot of Laker fans here are not GMs. They would never make anyone happy and we would have to watch all the bridges in LA to make sure fans don't jump off.

We got Lebron, some good support defensive, championship
Experience, etc.

Bravo to Magic and Rob regardless of what some of you think.

The one team he could've gone to where it wouldn't be fair. But hopefully this gets Maginka to see the error of their ways so they sign BroLo!

Meh I don't care, the GSW were always the favorites we still got a chance. Super teams don't always workout and one little injury can change everything.

I'm still happy we are going to see a deep playoff run for the first time since 2010.
