| Are you guys serious with this KCP was the deal to make LeBron happen? Come on, LeBron made this decision a long time ago. He wanted to be a Laker, he wanted to be in LA, family, business, whatever it was it wasn't going to change because of KCP. He's really not that important. We gave him the deal to thank Klutch, plain and simple. |

Yes we gave the deal to thank klutch which in irony is LeBron's company |

he will eventually start putting up double digit points with good 3pt efficiency, you guys always do this with every Lakers player every year, every time they play poorly you guys bring up other players the team should have signed or bought back, KCP will be a good player for us it is just 1 game.

Do people actually believe this? What's the commission fee Lebron gets from Klutch on KCP... enough to even be pocket change for him? |

| KCP was having an off night. I was perplexed why Luke did not go with Hart who was playing well. Maybe it’s for the long term but I was surprise KCP still played 27 minutes even though he was practically non existent over there. |

the KCP deal was announced right after the Bron deal. You think any team is giving KCP 12 million a year? It wasn't what secured the Bron deal but it was the tax, "I did you a favor and now you do me a favor".... for Rich Paul.
Did you guys forget the Tristan Thompson deal? The JR Smith deal? You guys don't realize how much power Klutch and LeBron has. It's also not a big deal to Magic, he was probably off a high from signing Bron that KCP could have gotten 15M if they pushed for it.
So much politics in the NBA. Aaron Mintz is a good example, we traded away DLO to BK, we didn't sign Randle to an extension and he was in Paul George's ear to not sign with us. |

And they announced Lance and McGee at about the same time, too. Regardless, he's making the same annually on a one-year deal as the washed up Avery Bradley does on a two-year. It's hard to say he was overpaid. |

You guys did not watch any games since January then.. cause he was phenomenal from the 3pt land.. and he also won us a lot of games, the anti-KCP talk from Laker fans is getting annoying and old he was our best player in a lot of our games last year.

I find it increasingly hard to believe LeBron wasn't going to come here if we didn't sign KCP. His agent gets, what 10% of that 12 million? What's LeBron's share in that 1.2 million? He stays in Cleveland if we don't bring him back??
This was Rich Paul capitalizing on a gleeful Maginka that thought their off-season work was done when they got LeBron. It's a really bad look for our FO that will only get worse. There are so many glaring holes on our roster and clearly better players on whom that money could've been spent. |

If you've watched KCP since his time in Detroit, it's the same old story every single year and why he has never gone down as an efficient shooter.
People waiting on him to 'get it" will be waiting for a while. He's a hot/cold streaky shooter who will make you want to trade him for 5 games and then have 2 good games and you go "OH HE'S GOT IT NOW!" only to watch the same pattern over and over again.

Odom used to tease us with 5-6 good games then have below average games, he was always inconsistent especially when came here in his 1st few seasons.. KCP is a talented player you guys just have a negative agenda towards him cause we signed him instead of Jules.

I first started paying attention to him his last season in Detroit. He was scorching the nets from deep and was among the league leaders in 3s at the beginning of the season. He fell off the 2nd half of the season and ended up where he'll probably always end up: a league average shooter. If he was a lockdown defender, the league average shooting would be adequate, but he's about as streaky defender as he is a shooter. |

You're missing the bigger picture. Obviously Bron's decision didn't hinder on us re-signing KCP but it's about maintaining a relationship with a big time client who... just signed Anthony Davis. If we didn't re-sign KCP, he's playing for the MLE somewhere, there was no money out there for him. The thinking was, we do Rich a favor for one more season, showcase KCP on a team with what...39 national TV games? over KCP signing the MLE on some team that has no exposure at all. It's about maintaining relationships and who knows better about maintaining relationships with agents than Rob Pelinka? You guys just look at the surface when it's much deeper than it is. Agents have a major influence and if re-signing KCP gives us a better chance at signing AD, you do it. Just like how signing KCP last year allowed us to talk to Rich Paul about LeBron without the NBA being on our ass. |

Yeah, we did that last year, which made sense when we weren't a playoff team. We're trying to a win a title now. You need to use every dollar as efficiently as possible to beat out teams like GSW and Boston, who have more talent. Spending 12 million to make an agent happy when you have glaring holes on your roster because it might arbitrarily increase your odds of getting a guy who will be a free agent in 2 years is insanely bad cap management. Rich Paul is not going to prevent us from trading for Anthony Davis as much as lacking the assets to get him in the first place(like say, having Julius Randle on your roster). And assuming AD reaches free agency, is Rich Paul going to screw over Lebron, the guy who made his career possible, by directing AD away from the Lakers?? |
