Bomani comes off like a hater at times. People were happy when the deal didn't get done earlier. Now it's too much?

Whats interesting here is that when the deal was talked about during the season, it was supposedly Lebron and Rich Paul who was orchestrating everything and got blamed for it. I wanna see if the media is gonna give the same people credit now that the deal is done.
Yep. I don't think they should max a guy like Kemba. Get some shooters.
No, the deal is scheduled to be done on July 6th. If the Lakers were to have cap space for another max, the deal would have to be done on July 30th. And apparently AD might not waive his trade kicker so the Lakers remaining cap space will end up being 23.7
If their dumb asses hired a legit POBO after Magic quit instead of giving Rob more power, the Lakers wouldn't be at the mercy of the Pelicans in regards to cap space.
There is no public available information (that I've seen) on the scheduled closing date. Where are you seeing that confirmed?
The Los Angeles Lakers trade for Anthony Davis is expected to be finalized on July 6th, according to Adrian Wojnarowski and Bobby Marks of ESPN.
If Davis declines his $4 million trade bonus, the Lakers will have $23.7 million in cap space this summer.
The Lakers could have had $32.5 million in cap space had they waited until July 30th to complete the trade.
I think he and everybody else assumes that the Pelicans will not wait, probably get it done as soon as possible.
Yeah. Why the fuck didn't Pelinka solidify a closing date? That move, if true, could cost the Lakers almost $10M in cap space. He's a former agent too
Yeah. I read that, but I also read the reason why the extra picks were there was to delay the closing date. That's a silly ass mistake to make it he left that completely up to the Pelicans
I thought it just wasn't public..not that he didn't specify it at all. Is there any cap space benefit for N.O. to wait?

Not really and the reason the Pels WOULDN'T wait is because they would need to have the pick in hand as soon as possible because they potentially have another deal lined up with the pick. Basically, Rob bent over and said, "just be gentle"
Sounds like Bron negotiated terms , brought both parties to the table, closed the deal and told Rob " I got this. ..just sign the fucking check and post date it dummy".. And the stupid muthafucka forgot to post date the check.Yeah. Why the fuck didn't Pelinka solidify a closing date? That move, if true, could cost the Lakers almost $10M in cap space.

So who is the real GM? Rob, Bron, Klutch, Kobe?
So many excuses or claims will be made depending on how this goes. If AD, Klutch and the Lakers are on the same page there will be plenty of success to share, but if they end up with 22 mil to fill the roster James Brown will be playing all next year in the 2019-2020 BGOL NBA thread.

See, it already started.
Dont they still have time to work out the details for everyone to get what they want?
Also, is NO trying to trade the 4th pick to move up and draft RJ Barrett too?

Lebron ain’t got time to wait for young players to get good
If I'm the Pelicans I am either drafting DeAndre Hunter or Bol Bol with that 4th pick.
Couldn't wait until 7/30...they waited for PG & got beat. They had to pull the trigger on this. The picks are whatever. BOS & PHI have shown a surplus of picks doesn't mean shit except that you're going to have a gang of young guys to pay all at once. Get the superstar, chase the ring, fuck potential in picks.
Well it more on the pelicans wanting to get it done before the draft. Now they have days to getting a trade done, scout players for the 4th pick....Etc
Can't take the chance of Boston coming in with a nice offer. Knicks coming in either...had to make the move. They definitely benefit too!
Both of these
Makes sense...they thought that they had PG in the bag...pulled a Boston and waited...and got burned.
All I'm saying...is this summer should be interesting...filling out the rest of the roster
We need to give Carusso a run...he looked good at the end of the year and showed he can be a solid back up and make shots
A month ago we were looking like the Snickers, and now with one signing we're on pace for the playoffs...someplace Ingram and Lonzo weren't taking us

Those picks do seem like life after Lebron. But If they get a ring the price won’t matter.
A second year with Lebron....he wasn’t missing the playoffs two times in a row anyway.
Is that such a crazy idea?
Its still beyond me how a guy with Melo's skills has no place in the NBA, even if its just in a floor spacer role.
Plus for Melo this is really his last shot in life at a championship.
