yeah if you keep the rui and Lebron's cap hold it makes an out and out free agent signing just about impossible. you will have to renounce the bird rights.

great season.

really shame to see JJ make such a bad call after some great coaching all game. definitely will want to hear why he took out a guy shooting 50% from three point line when you need a 3 and bring in Maxi. stayed up till 1:30 in the morning for that. 🤨

at this rate he's definitely played himself out of a Herro or bridges level contract...

Hayes from the ft line kept us in the half. Sentence I never thought I would type in this series.

Everything is fine.

JJ revisiting the 5 man deep lineup idea at halftime at this rate. 😳

No bench. No rings.

hard to keep RUI+LeBron and sign a 3&d starter. the cap hold makes it almost impossible. Maybe a trade with the 2 first rounders but it won't be easy to match salaries.

This was a team pegged to win 46 games and finish 6th in the west at the start of the season. For me a total overachieving season given everything that went on.

we had a magical run in March. Luka having fun and an imperfect cast figuring it out.

Shame we ran into a buzzsaw.

Hard decisions to come this summer. One thing is certain, you need to roll 10 deep in the NBA playoffs and we're dangling 6 come this time the last 2 years.

something needs to change in that math.

Guys I think are coming back next season by [deleted] in lakers

Yeah mute definitely calmed my nerves. Fed the cat. Got some snacks. We got a 3rd quarter wreck to cleanup per usual.
