They thought they were going to get Kyrie for Westbrook or the sign him for taxpayer MLE, but now Kyrie is returning to Brooklyn. They thought they'd sign John Wall, but now he's apparently signing with the Clippers. They have no cap space and almost no future 1st-round picks. They have an aging but still very good LeBron and a repeatedly injured Anthony Davis who thought he was too good for the Pelicans. The Lakers once again thought they use their deep pockets and Hollywood appear to buy a string of championships. Alas, it hasn't worked out the way they planned.

I should probably feel guilty about taking such pleasure in the suffering of the Laker franchise - but I don't feel even a twinge of guilt. :)

You have no reason to feel bad. Besides ultimately the Lakers will be just fine. :)

Dammit, Monster! Did you really have to write that the Lakers will be just fine?? You just ruined my day. :)

My bad. I meant that they will be just fine after a few really crappy couple of years. Is that better? :)

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac has agreed on a three-year, $33 million extension, his agents Jeff Schwartz and Mike
Lindeman tell ESPN. The Clippers declined his $7.5-million team option for 2022-2023, clearing the way for Zubac's new deal.

Good deal for both sides, I think. Zubac is a starting-caliber big and is a real presence defensively.
