And where in the world are the Lakers getting all these money. They signed like 7 or 8 guys already while Brad only made 2 signings...
Not sure if this is sarcastic but to start the off season, the Laker had literally 7 players under contract. They traded 3 of them for Westbrook, so they really started with 5, so yes, they have to sign a lot of players. The Celtics had 13 under contract. They lost Caruso and Drummond (two reasonably decent players) but have signed 4 min players plus now Monk (not sure his deal) and Anthony. This team could contend for a title or if James/Davis have injuries, could be an absolute train wreck.
Do you really want to be the Lakers?
