@bron23xgoat Perhaps. The numbers will be everything. Unfortunately, OKC has the cheat code of unlimited draft capital and cheap, quality depth. They can just trade J Dub to a team like Brooklyn or Chicago that have cap space and just take back picks only and be totally fine.

@COYMFS1989 True but every team in the NBA gonna get destroyed by CBA so might as well go all in on one season tho. Like OKC gonna trade half their roster next season once the extensions kick in

Lakers should re-sign LeBron Reaves Smart and Rui You get your core 5 with Luka See if Kennard comes back Trade Jake, DK and Vando and hope Ayton doesn’t come back Don’t sign hayes Give Adou and Bronny a real chance Sign P Watson/M Robinson/ R Williams/ defensive wings

@pelinkaburner Can we at least get Sharpe back in the deal?

@bron23xgoat Maybe, but you need cheap controllable rookie contracts to compete in this NBA. Spending that degree of draft capital to essentially salary dump feels short sighted

@COYMFS1989 They can if they use their 3 tradable FRP

@Purpl3andGold Wouldn’t it be easier to see if you can convince Wiggins to opt out for more money over more years?

Not shocking. I believe he will be traded over the summer finally. I don’t think the Lakers should pursue Giannis. He has pretty much stated he doesn’t want to be traded to the Lakers. But if he gets traded to Miami, the Lakers should try and get Wiggins in the deal.

@Bgmegamanzero1 I think Austin getting moved is possible, but during the season after signing an extension rather than a S&T. I can’t envision LA taking LeBron back for anything above $20-25m, as an offer sheet for Kessler or Watson/Eason feels like a MUST for the team. Rui probably gone

If you know anything about how the Dodgers summers go after losing, you’d already have an idea about what’s about to happen. There’s a lot of fan favorite dodgers that are on other teams. Even a couple MvP’s

@Soccer197868635 @pelinkaburner Even if you want to get rid of him, better to sign him and then explore moving him during the season.

@pelinkaburner But you wanna pay Austin who can’t defend a cone that crazy they won’t win anything with that back court

He’s coming off 18mil a year and just had a very good playoff run as a scorer/shooter He’ll be asking for close to 18-22 a year I’d imagine.. worth it for someone like Detroit For us tho? Can’t do it IMO

@pelinkaburner @notlakersgm I’d throw San Antonio out there as well

@notlakersgm Detroit is a really good fit and from the initial look their cap sheet is in a solid spot even with Duren being in an AR situation A couple others but depends what other moves they'd make

Rui is a very good offensive player that just doesn't fit in the long term Luka/AR vision of roster building and that's okay Helped develop him for multiple seasons, became one of the best shooters itl with us, let him go get his bag, it happens

@pelinkaburner He makes since as a #4 on a Luka team without LeBron and (probably) with a more defensive minded two-guard than Austin

@pickuphoop @Kareem_is_it They may just have to stretch him. $7 million saved isn’t nothing

Through the first two years of this extension, Vando scored 27 total points in 12 playoff games Any Lakers trade this offseason should start with him as outgoing salary

@JonnyH3232 I think we can get a point against Chelsea, but then yeah…..a win against Everton at home feels near impossible

@COYMFS1989 If West Ham beat Newcastle we are toast

FT Spurs 1 v 1 Leeds I’m absolutely gutted, but it could have been so much worse had Leeds shot late on hadn’t hit the bar. We have Kinsky to thank for not losing the game in the end. We were manic in the first 15 mins, winning the ball back in the final 3rd, but we hurried to many final balls. Leeds didn’t come with their heads on the beach; that’s for sure. They were dangerous on the counter. We kept pressing to win the ball back but struggled with the final ball. We had 6 corners, none were really good enough. The most dangerous moment came from a Leeds header which Kinsky did brilliantly to dive low and save on the line . His ball distribution is so much better than Vicario. We took the game to them, but they were resolute. The nerves weren’t great at the end of the 1st half with the VAR penalty. From hero, Marthys Tel with a fantastic goal, then he turns to villain with an overhead kick that takes out Ampadu in his own box. What was he doing 🤦🏻‍♂️ Var gives the penalty, the game changed. We just can’t win at home, it’s that simple. When Bentancur went off, we fell apart; our passing was shocking. The only positive was seeing Maddison coming on late in the match to try and influence the game. Was that a penalty ? we get nothing from VAR not 1 all season 😡 Leeds came to play; let’s hope they have the same commitment when they play West Ham. So many poor performances in that second half. Richarlison should have buried his chance. It’s still in our hands, but we need Newcastle to do us a favour. If they win, we are still with the upper hand. If they lose, I fear for us. It’s Chelsea next 🙏🏼 #COYS 🤍💙

@finalisimo_ @thfcas18_v2 This* (I assume)

@COYMFS1989 @thfcas18_v2 Hahahahahahaha thid copium

I don't trust Chelsea. Those rentboys will try way too hard to get us relegated. The only possible chance for us to be alive is if the FA Cup final goes till extra time and Chelsea players get knackered. Then we might have a chance against them.

@YiddoSal @SussexTottenham I mean…. I think getting a result at the Bridge is more likely than at home to Everton.

@COYMFS1989 @SussexTottenham We are 3rd best in the away league table. Chelsea are the most out of form club in the league. Its like saying Wolves will turn up.

Play like this against Chelsea and Everton we ain’t picking up another point West Ham play like they did against Arsenal yesterday they could get at least 4 maybe all 6 Absolutely must win game - and that’s what worries me Must wins usually end up in defeat at Spurs

@VikaYidette No it hasn’t

That draw tonight has cemented championship football next season.

@thfcas18_v2 At this point in this stupid season, the only thing I know about how this will all unfold is that I truly don’t know shit, and that any predictions are utterly pointless

This was the one winnable game we had in the run-in. I don't see us beating Chelsea and Everton. The only way we survive is if Newcastle beat West Ham and we get at least one point from either Chelsea or Brighton. It's too late, man. I can't be arsed.

@SussexTottenham @YiddoSal They’ll show up. But it’s still 3 days after a cup final against a far superior team

@YiddoSal I have a sneaky feeling Chelsea turn up next Tuesday.....

@SussexTottenham FWIW, we are probably better suited to playing Chelsea right now than we are Leeds (or Everton) at home

@TomFoins @tehTrunk I get the history, but everything about this stupid season suggests Spurs are more likely to get a result at Chelsea than at home.

In one of our last 2 games we have to somehow win at a horrible stadium where we have about 2 wins in 40 years, where the owners are mental clowns with no plan other than to keep sacking managers. We also have to go to Chelsea.
