I find it funny how a lot of people now are complaining about Superteams forming but when LeBron first did it everyone was all for them. Just more of an observation. I hated them since day 1 but if theres gonna be super teams and my team aint one of them at least the Warriors are easiest of the teams to like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reeks of Magic. And reeks is a kid word. Rondo and KCP making $21M this year? Why not give that $20M to Boogie????? I’m not that knowledgeable on the salary stuff. Do the Lakers have to fill in the roster with 1 year players to hold space for next year? Are these all tradeable assets or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then try to cash in next year. Pretty smart for a guy that usually does stupid stuff. Achilles can be rough, especially on a big man. He seems to have at least matured in some sense since his Sacramento days though. He might be the best Center in the NBA when he's healthy and he puts it all together.
