[dang], it seemed they had a winning formula 2 years ago. I guess this is what happens when you blow a perfect opportunity (They should have won that conference finals against the Warriors). Could see the Lakers trading for him if they strike out in free agency. But that albatross contract is gonna be hard to move.

The Lakers simply wont have the cap space. Waiving Deng is low key the worst decision the franchise has made in the last few years because he is dead money that could have been cleared at a relatively small price

The articles details are hilarious and I'm sure more petty crap is going to come out. They didn't talk for two months during the season.

And with his contract he's going to end up having to play with James anyways lol.

Is there a current or former teammate out there at CP3 hasn't clashed with?

Hayward for Chis Paul if Paul agrees to eliminate final year player option. Not sure if that’s possible?

I just took a look at their salary, and you seem to be right. After AD and Lebron, they just have a bunch of rookie deals. Unless they plan on signing guys just to trade them later in the year for CP3, there's no way for it to work.

I mean its possible, but I'd much rather have Hayward.

On this Celtics team? If the Celtics lose Irving, which it’s looking like, a fairly overpaid high caliber PG is more compatible than an overpaid wing, with the way this roster is constructed. Don’t you agree? Otherwise you need another ball handler. If you resign Horford and Rozier walks you have a hole with no cap space. What are some better options? I bet someone like Beverley gets $10M, same with Rubio

Yes on this Celtics team.

I don't want a control freak who's make 40 million per year in his age 34/35 season. Rather take the chance on Hayward and hope he is like Paul George and recovers his former form.

Thank goodness for Houston coming along and making some other team the most depressing story of the week in NBA news!



Good luck with that, Rockets.

Detroit maybe.

But a landing spot I see happening here is in Charlotte if the hornets lose Kemba.

Batum and biyombo

That Paul contract is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much worse than paying Hayward a max deal for the next two years.


There's at least some sliver of hope that Hayward will recoup some of the value of the deal for the next two seasons.

I’m okay with that. Include Horford too. Help stack houston to stop LA.

As long as we have 2 max slot spots, at some point, with Tatum on his rookie scale, work to stop the Lakers
