    It makes it interesting. I’m still having a hard time buying the Lakers.

    I expect them to heavily pursue Kemba Walker in free agency

    Its the least they could have given now. They keep Kuzma. Good deal for both. The Pelicans get to get a bunch of young stars who will want to leave at the first chance and the Lakers get one of the two stars they need. Role players will fill the rest

    Just leave Jimmy F Butler alone please

    It will be interesting to see what the Lakers are able to put together.

    The good news is that they have $35M of cap space (or thereabouts) left after the deal but only essentially 4 players under contract to get that cap space as that requires them renouncing everybody. And the reality is that the $35M isn't completely true because there will be at least some amount of cap holds tied to filling out the league roster at the minimum.

    They don't really have any draft picks available to them so I'm not entirely sure what they're going to have in terms of any kind of depth on their roster.

    If people were saying that the Warriors had a thin bench this year, just wait until you see the Lakers bench this year.

    I would much rather have a guy like Leonard and then go out and sign a ricky rubio than take walker. Walker is a good PG, but Leonard is on another planet(obviously) as a player. There are some PG's out there that don't need to shoot who will be available and want to play with a lineup of bron/davis/leonard

    The $ may still be an issue in getting a 3rd star to come to LA.

    LeBron was hanging out with Kylian Mbappe this week wearing a Liverpool FC hat. I'm back to loving him. Go Lakers!!!!

    LBJ + Davis + Kemba is basically a West Semifinalist at best ... no depth

    Lebron has done more with others than anyone since MJ.

    He had the wrong others this year. They need 3 point shooters

    And Lebron to have something left

    The Lakers will get role players because they always get role players when they’re contenders.

    They will be “linked” to every FA in the top 15 now(just like they have been all summer). My point was there are plenty of good pgs out there to add at a much smaller rat who don’t need to shoot. They still need an elite wing defender so that bron doesn’t get pummeled on both ends

    I get a little tingle up my leg at the thought of it still somehow not working out and failing spectacularly.

    Missing the playoffs for whatever reason. AD walking after not signing a long term contract. Lebron retiring or finally showing the mileage and going off the the Spurs. The Pelicans becoming a legit team with Lonzo, Jrue, Ingram, Zion, and Culver plus 2 more years of early first round picks.

    All 3 pelicans fans should be rooting harder for a Lebron injury than for their team to win next year.
