2014-15 Official Lakers Season Thread, Vol: We Love Each Other

[MVP]

Why are the Rockets involved in this trade?

I think they are preparing themselves to let Parsons walk. They're going after Ariza and I assume Dunleavy would be a nice backup and trade chip going forward as well.

 

[CP1708]

Dunleavy is reportedly not a part of the deal.

Maybe they take on Boozer, and sign Ariza? Sort of a lesser version of the Bosh-Parsons dream they had?

 

[CP1708]

Melo not taking the full 129 million?

That can't be right.

I won't believe it unless we get HD 1080 pixel pictures of the exact number stated in the contract.

Woj says Dunleavy isn't involved in the S&T now... need this to be done and over already

Pau for Jimmy Butler would bring tears of joy to my eyes.

Mitch, do it.

Why did Hill get 9 million tho. Smh was that our only option really?

@WindhorstESPN: Bulls in the process of finalizing a free agent deal with Pau Gasol. Will not be a sign-and-trade with Lakers.

Mitch, what are you doing?

This is all bad.

Because it's essentially a 1 year deal. Less years more risk for the player, have to lessen risk by giving more money..

**** up after **** up man.

Kobe left all that cap space for Mitch to do things, remember?

The Houston Rockets have agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal with Trevor Ariza, @USATODAYsports has learned.

Chandler Parsons will be a Maverick.

Holy ****!!!!

 

[sohi 23]

Welp. went from 2nd rounders to nothing at all.

 

[MVP]

They can still match.

30 mil in cap space that he's divided into Jeremy Lin, Nick Young, and Jordan Hill. Wouldn't trust him with $5 of my own money right now.

 

[CP1708]

Well, crap. Maybe Houston will match after all.

With a 4-year, $32M agreement for free agent Trevor Ariza, Houston could still match offer sheet for Chandler Parsons, source tells Yahoo.

Ariza would play, where? SF, Parsons PF? Yikes.

You confused as to why? We been tellin you all year long, no?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

That Houston team was soooo close to being elite in the West. Now they just look clunky.

 

[CP1708]

Oh BTW, did Pau just take a paycut too?

 

[kal-el-8]

Yup

 

[tay1]

With a not so great looking Houston, I'm liking the Lin deal

 

[kal-el-8]
