wat

 

[BadAss2961]

HAHA
Boozer to the Lakers

lol.

He already ruined Napier's.

Draft this shit player. Oh, sorry, were you expecting me to stay?

I want max deal.

I want short contract, no commitments.

I want opt out.

I want secret meeting.

I want weeks to announce decision made ages ago. Deal with it.

Sign my favorite scrubs.

Bail my mom from jail.

Cater to my freeloading friends.

Send young star to die. Fuck him, I want super team NOW.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Cavs are now willing to trade Wiggins to get Love.

 

[J2 Cool]

Boozer, Lin, Nash, Kobe. It's all coming together now.

Spoiler

I'd actually watch that team

 

[rvy]

I hope Kwame comes back. The 5th piece we need to win a championship.

 

[CB3]

I gotta assume its a cheap bid, right?

RIGHT?!

I dont mind him on a low contract.

 

[Gonzalez]

Holy shit, the Lakers have won this years NBA free agency.

Does Bledsoe really think he's worth max right now? He was injured for half the season last year in his first stint as a starter. Not sure what's realistic here. Sounds like he's more interested in the money than the organization. Maybe a S&T is best...

Any time you got a chance at the asian Tebow and the Booze cruise, you gotta do it.

GET IN THERE

AND1!

GRAB IT KOBE

Lakers should be fun this year.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Lakers have ruined the Heat's chances of contending with that Boozer pick up.

 

[Owzers]

Cavs are now willing to trade Wiggins to get Love.

that's disappointing but understandable i guess. I think they'll regret giving up so much to get Love, but he's not Boozer-bad.

Lakers picking up Boozer will make them entertaining to watch at least....all that yelling.

 

[BadAss2961]

King Deng needs help or he'll walk.

 

[thehypocrite]

So what's Minnesota waiting for if that's the deal? League approval?

 

[Tom Penny]

Lakers won the offseason so far. Lin and Boozer. Congrats.

 

[CreepingFear]

King Deng needs help or he'll walk.

I think it would have been fun had Boozer went to Miami. You'd have Bulls vs Heat with two former Bulls players, Cavs vs Heat with James, Jones, Miller, and possibly Allen against the Heat. Lakers ruined that for us all.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Lakers have 4 players that play the best at the power forward spot: Boozer, Hill, Davis, and Randle.

 

[CreepingFear]

Lakers have 4 players that play the best at the power forward spot: Boozer, Hill, Davis, and Randle.

Obviously, much better than the Bulls power forwards of Pau, Noah, Taj, and Mirotic.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 54s
With nearly a third of the NBA holding enough cap space to biz on Boozer and keep him off open market, chances slim he'd ever clear waivers

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 2m
Sources say CBoozer had strong interest in signing with Houston had he gone unclaimed and cleared waivers, but Lakers made winning bid

Houston gets nobody this offseason.

 

[rvy]

The dream is alive.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

They're going to trade them all for Kevin Love

I may become a Lakers fan(ok, no chance but I might watch their games if on TV).

Nothing can beat Boozer screaming "grab it Jo" on the first of his two freethrow attempts.

 

[SoulPlaya]

I TOLD YAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called it LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOZER TO THE LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You fucks laughed at me!!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were laughing with you Soulplaya, right guys?

 

[Cloudy]

Yes, we got Boozer.

Clarkson
Kobe
?
Randle
Boozer

Swaggy and Lin first off the bench

 

[PBY]

Booze cruise bitches

 

[Liquidsnake]

My god. My father if he is no longer alive would roll over in his grave at this New look Lakers.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yes, we got Boozer.

Clarkson
Kobe
?
Randle
Boozer

Man that's a sad line-up

 

[Cloudy]

I'd rather have Boozer than Pau at this stage. Horrible offseason turning around with opportunistic moves (Lin, Davis and Boozer)

 

[CB3]

I'd rather have Boozer than Pau at this stage.

Get out.

Now if you rather have boozer at 2 mil than pau at 8-10, thats another story.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Man that's a sad line-up

You have must have missed what they had last season.

 

[Liquidsnake]

You have must have missed what they had last season.

Last season was the most painful of my life. I think they are a 35 win team this year.

 

[Cloudy]

Get out.

Now if you rather have boozer at 2 mil than pau at 8-10, thats another story.

Boozer is 2 years younger and a better pick and pop player

 

[rvy]

[SoulPlaya]

Now if you rather have boozer at 2 mil than pau at 8-10, thats another story.

Lakers are paying him $3 mil.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

You have must have missed what they had last season.

Doesn't stop this one from being almost as bad.

Boozer is 2 years younger and a better pick and pop player

He's worse at pretty much everything despite being younger, you'd think he's 50 when you see him "defend".

 

[BadAss2961]

I'd rather have Boozer than Pau at this stage.

I wish Boozer the best, but every Bulls fan knows you'll be sorry you said this.

 

[Gonzalez]

Oh man, there is salt all over my table. Looks like a Bulls fan was sitting here before me.

 

[CB3]

Id just like to point out once again, Konex's thoughts are his along and do not represent the greater Laker nation.

 

[Love Deterrence]

How does Lionel Hollins compare living in Memphis to the Stone Age when half of his new team was actually living in it? No worries, though. He couldn't develop any player not named "Mike Conley" and that will be exposed soon enough.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Boozer is horriawful.
Enjoy his yelling though.

 

[UnObtainium17]

T-Mac Update!! man, we was planning to watch his skeeters game. We shoudnlt have waited too long. -_-

I'd rather have Boozer than Pau at this stage. Horrible offseason turning around with opportunistic moves (Lin, Davis and Boozer)

My memories of playoffs boozer is so bad I would rather have Pau for the next 2 years.
But since booze will be cheaper, it's not that bad of a replacement.

Looks like Cavs gonna put Wiggins on block afterall

I would do this trade if that means keeping Bennett, and Love signing extension. Bron has no time to wait 3-5 years to develop to a player that can compliment him. So many if's in Wiggins. Love is proven that he can contribute right now.

Or wait out this season hoping Love wont land in GS.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Boozer is horriawful.

He's not though, people latched onto that notion but he's a very talented offensive player.

Very good jumper, good passer, can play physical when we wants to(usually doesn't want to though), etc...

He's 99% of the time shitty on defense but he's not even close to being a bad basketball player.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Oh man, there is salt all over my table. Looks like a Bulls fan was sitting here before me.

Oh, this is rich.

Are you seriously worried about losing Bennett?

 

[Rhaegar]

Last season was the most painful of my life. I think they are a 35 win team this year.

When did the Lakers join the Eastern Conference?

 

[RedAssedApe]

laugh about boozer all you want but isn't this a "steal" for a veteran? or do i misunderstand how waivers work.

The Lakers won the Boozer auction with a blind bid of $3.25 million, sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

That means Chicago must pay the remaining $13.6 million that Boozer is owed in 2014-15 on the final year of his current contract. Releasing Boozer via the amnesty clause removes that $13.6 million from Chicago's books for salary-cap and luxury-tax purposes, but the Bulls still must pay him the money he's owed.

 

[PBY]

Its a great price. Any team would take that.

The problem is this: Boozer is a joke. And the Lakers suck, so he's not going to push them over the edge.

So... its just there.

 

[CreepingFear]

Oh man, there is salt all over my table. Looks like a Bulls fan was sitting here before me.

Bulls fans salty about losing Boozer? The only salt would come from semen after masturbating at the thought of not having Boozer on the team anymore. Too graphic?

 

[Love Deterrence]

The problem is this: Boozer is a joke.

Huh? In comparison to whom? There are far worse options at power forward than Boozer. He may not be the 20-10 machine he once was, but he's pretty damn solid.
