Yes - He is racking up the frequent flyer miles and seems to have gone into auto pilot mode during press conferences.


Welp, he's back with the team that drafted him... the Seattlehoma ThunderSonics.

At this point the real intrigue is what #twolves will do with 31 & 36. Package & move up? Keep both? Sell one? #NBADraft2015

That never clicked with me that he has come full circle! But it sounds like it won't be for long as the Tunder plan to waive him. With the glut of FA PGs and the recent decline in his game, I wonder if he'll have a tough time find a new home in the league?

I think he'll be able to find a place as a 3rd point guard. The guy can still shoot, but his defensive abilities are rapidly on the decline... and he didn't start that high to begin with. He's a heady player with a lot of fire and can certainly be a good resource to teach young PGs.

Might not be my first choice, but I would be cool with heading into the season with Rubio, Tyus and Luke...

There is now speculation that either Cousins gets traded or George Karl gets fired. I think one has to go.

If you can get Randle and a #2 for Boogie and filler...I would pull the trigger for Sac! Doubt the lakers make that happen but they are in all out mode by what it looks.

I think if you're the Lakers and you can get Boogie, do you then still go after LMA? I just feel like they can't fill enough holes without a high draft pick. I'd stand pat at #2, draft Okafor, sign Love/LMA. They would still have cap space left over plus their #27+Randle to get back into the early 1st and shore up another position - like say getting a Stanley Johnson and signing a mid-tier free agent.

I'm not a Laker fan, and I don't know if the above is feasible with contracts, but that would result in a lineup of:
PG: Clarkson
SG: Bryant
SF: Johnson
PF: Love
C: Okafor

Pretty quick rebuild, but Bryant is a huge question mark going forward. But the ability to rebuild quickly is a luxury that the LA market has.
