The Evil Genius Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Draymond is a Swiss army knife in a league full of unitaskers. As for Klay, the dude is legit weird (for NBA guys). He's content not being the superstar as long as his buddies can hang and he has his dog Rocco by his side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draymond has stated he's not giving GS another discount, but I don't think losing Draymond at this point in time is that big of a loss. It looks pretty clear to me that he is not the player he was 2 years ago. You're right, he looks like he's declining. But he's also going to be really hard to replace. They can afford to keep him at full price though. They have his Bird Rights and they're making an ungodly amount of money right now. The revenue they made off their playoff run could cover their entire payroll and tax payments. I think I remember reading that it was 180 million dollars.

Between you jumping on the Celtics, Rockets, and Warriors I can’t keep up. Just because I think a team has a chance to win doesn’t mean I’m a fan or on a bandwagon. I’m just honest about what I see.

This would be a fantastic get for them. And a testament to their ability to get guys to sacrifice for them. He would make them better than last year's team.

Spaceman Spiff Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 LeBron's gotta be in this for the long haul. I think he's gonna try to wait out GSW until they can't keep that team together. While he transforms that team just by his presence alone, he can't be serious about winning a title with the guys they just acquired along with him in 2019.

Berggy9598 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Mr. Sinister said: Not the point. The point is despite history, cache only gets you so far. Despite all the titles, all the glitz, all the glamour, all the ass, all the titties, all the palm trees, all the earthquakes, none of that stopped them from being a basketball outpost for 5 seasons. And I can guarantee you LeBron's decision to go there was not solely for basketball reasons. From a fan/marketing standpoint, they are and have always been a cash cow, but in terms of their ability to sell that pitch to players, I don't think it holds the same weight it once did. At the end of the day, the NBA needs stars, and great teams, and it had that while the Lakers floundered, and it's popularity has grown. Yeah, the last decade So you want to put the last 5 years in a vacuum and ignore the championships, the hall of fame players, the sustained success throughout the years and the transcendent global brand in order to further your narrative. I can't stop you, but that's a pretty nifty spin job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew, that confession made me feel a lot better. Weight lifted off my shoulders ? If you expect to put the last 5 years in a vacuum you most definitely have to ignore it, but the problem is putting the past 5 years in a vacuum takes you out of relevance in this discussion. When we're discussing the Lakers as an organization and the appeal they hold to star players, their history is absolutely germane to that discussion. If you want to point out the past five years in a vacuum then yes, we know, but I'm not sure what the point there is. Back to the discussion everyone else is having, when you weigh those five years of mismanagement against the franchise's history, those years you're clinging to for dear life become rather overshadowed fam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which part of my post did you disagree with btw? All you did was state the obvious and ignore it in other any context, because you can't really argue that 5 lean years under those circumstances overshadow the Lakers' history.
