    Looks like the Lakers have now added Danny Green and resigend KCP and Mcgee to 2-year deals. That's some decent depth. Green is a great shooter and he and KCP can defend. Kuzma staying around the best thing that happened other than getting AD. A PG is still badly needed and I wonder who is still out there. I wouldn't mind resigning Rondo is he's still around.
    Just signed Quinn Cook. Looks like Pelinka is not going to repeat Magic's mistake last year of not giving LeBron 3 point shooters.

          A lot of victims of deception in those groups.

            You've got me on that one. Of course, it was only convincing Paul George to suddenly request a trade and then giving OKC 5 1sts, 2 swaps and a couple of good young players that changed things.

              • Kawhi to the Clips - brings Portland right into the mix. If Nurk heals properly.

                    I predict a fractured team - and bad locker room vibe. Too many proven malcontents - in too small of space.

                      This is actually incorrect. Kawhi was playing them all along. Go read the articles about it. He even asked them to delay AD trade another day. He never wanted the Lakers. He was Toronto or Clips the entire time.

                      • Why would Kawhi, after being The Man in leading two different teams to championships want to play second fiddle to an aging LeBron?

                        I don't understand his love for Playoff P, though.

                        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                          I don't know what he would have done if the Clippers hadn't gotten the PG trade done. Lakers seemed to think he was going to be a Laker, and to be fair, he'd publicly stated previously that he wanted to be traded to the Lakers. Reportedly, he tried (and failed) to convince both Butler and KD to go to the Clippers, with him. (But I can't be sure that's not just sour grapes speculation by Lakers writers).

                          Yeah, Kawhi played them. But I think the Lakers did pretty well with their Plan B.

                            He would have signed a short term deal with Toronto, two year contract or three with an option to opt out after two years. It doesn't appear as if he wants to be part of the Lakers' circus.
                            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                            • imo, he "played" and hurt toronto the most. the clippers with durant/butler/PG13 were always what he wanted. toronto was always the plan B if he couldn't get another star to join him. by the time he announced his decision, all of the good free agents were history, leaving toronto hanging with no off-season improvements. All toronto did this off-season was lose Kawhi and Danny Green. the lakers, otoh are left with LeBron James and Anthony Davis and were still able to get their top non-Kawhi target in Danny Green.
