Reposted on: 15.3.19 1421.52 | Boy, I really thought more would happen. I guess I should have started a Monta Ellis thread.
As I type this, the Beasley deal never happened. I hope the Lakers are happy with ex-Timberwolf Ramon Sessions!
Here's a grab from ESPN as I type this laying out what (probably/may have) went down:
I'm happy that Wolves ended up doin' nothin'. I could have handled the rumoured Beasley deal to bring Crawford here, but I prefer handling Beas staying around at least through the end of the season.

Oh...that's a fine trade on paper, but Kobe's going to be PISSED about losing his best buddy. If the Lakers were so desperate to dump salary, why not ship off Metta World Artest? SOMEBODY would have taken him! (EDIT: Because the Lakers haven't used their amnesty. And now that Luke Walton's albatross of a contract is gone, they're now in prime position to amnesty Artest in the offseason, freeing up a ton of cap space in the process. This turned out to be a slick series of moves.)
The Sessions trade was a great one that offloaded the obscene Luke Walton contract. Had the Lakers stopped there, it would have been a great day. But they didn't. Sad face.

The Clippers have been having such a great season! Why would they ruin the chemistry by adding a ballhogging, shoot-first bonehead like Nick Young?
I'm even more baffled by Denver here. They dumped off a perfectly decent center for the Human Blooper Reel that is Javale McGee? What are they thinking? After getting put through the wringer by Carmelo last year, hasn't George Karl suffered enough?

Reposted on: 18.3.19 2128.40 | Hope no one on Houston was looking particularly forward to having Derek Fisher around.
Derek Fisher, Houston Rockets finalizing buyout, according to source
The Houston Rockets are finalizing a buyout with former Los Angeles Lakers guard Derek Fisher, according to a league source.
Fisher, 37, had played in 537 consecutive games prior to being dealt to the Rockets.
Fisher had made no public statements since his surprising trade from the franchise he'd won five championships with. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak admitted that he hadn't given Fisher or his representatives a heads up that a trade was in the works, and that he understood if he was "emotional" over the situation.
I wonder if Fish retires after this. I'm sure the Lakers would love to have him around as a coach to help keep Kobe in line. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
