Just came back from camping and saw Kawhis decision.

Westbrook to the Timberwolves, too.

Lies

Westbrook for KAT Timberwolves now got their franchise player.

When did this go down?

On Danny Green: Nearly every advanced metric rates Danny Green as top 3 defender at the 2 guard position. His real +/- ranking among all SGs for last 3 years was 2, 2, and 2. That's some ridiculous consistency...and he also did it 1 year without Kawhi. IMO one of the most underrated players on the Raptors. He was also rated the best c&s 3pt spot up shooter in the league. Yes, the very best. He was pretty average coming off screens though but that is totally fine bc he'll be asked to be more of a spot up shooter with Lakers.

Should have an even BIGGER year next to Lebron and AD.

Danny Green is an outstanding signing. He should be tremendous with AD and Lebron. We could use one more 3 point shooter. Korver would be nice if they can get him.

I really really want Iggy...I think he can play a huge role in playoffs as Lebron's backup. Hopefully, Memphis will let Iggy play where he wants to in the last year of his career.
The other player I'd love to add to this roster is Avery Bradley.

The other player I'm super excited about is Boogie. In Feb 2020, he'll be 2 years removed from his Achilles injury and that's when a player starts to return to 80-90% of their old self. If he's even at 80% - that'll be great. Im hoping he could play 26-28 mpg in post all-star games and give Lakers 18 and 10. I really want him to lose weight though. He should try to be even a little lighter than when he played for Pels.

When Boogie and AD played together their numbers were off the charts. They easily put up 50+ points and over 30 rebounds combined. If Boogie is healthy they will be unstoppable.

Lakers are going to be a huge team. And the huge players are highly skilled at that. That matters come playoff time

Yes, got Avery Bradley! Just wrote last night about wanting him on the Lakers.

What! Link?

Saw it. Thats my favorite pick up of the offseason! After the re-signing of Caruso of course.

No s**t

Great pikcup

At this point in their careers, Avery >>> Iggy

Damn, great pick up. Pelinka did a great job filling out the roster. Lakers are freaking stacked, and if Boogie gets back to pre quad injury no one will stop the Lakers.

The huge unknown variable here is health, obviously.

So that's gotta be it, right? Roster is full once THT signs.

It's at 13 right now. 14 with THT.

Should leave 1 open for Iggy
