I know this sub is all ‘lol this shows Rob sucks’, but it was pretty clear that there weren’t great deals on the table for us to pursue. Glad to see this is resolved and we can move on.
There’s still options for us to trade salary/picks for players, but obviously things are a bit different with the CBA.
I still say we largely run it back and see how things shake out with a new coach/system. Our roster, imo, is better than a lot of folks think, especially if Vando and Vincent are available and healthy.

Would’ve had a good addition to the squad if these FAs weren’t such divas. It is what it is.

Honestly, seeing how quickly he decided to take the max, I think he was only willing to take a pay cut for Klay and no one else.
Well I guess we’re running the same team back this year, I know we didn’t have a ton of options to begin with but man its still so disappointing.
Got to hope for a trade now I guess.

Once there was no shot of Derozan taking an MLE, it really didn’t matter if Bron took a pay cut or not

Hey you know what, I’m just going to be grateful to have this legend back in the PnG. We still have trade options. Glass half full.

Woj says it’s a player option on the 2nd year and a no trade clause as well.

Bye Rob Pelinka, get the fuck out of the league.

He probably gave up as soon as he saw us give max 8mil. Def not a win now move and should’ve been the last thing on the Lakers mind.
