Mother fucking Lakers man.

So the Lakers are now trying to backtrack on the AD trade because the salaries of AD and LeBron combined are too expensive. They don't have the money to fill out their roster with NBA level role players, let alone a third max star like they had planned. They are asking New Orleans to rework the deal, but New Orleans holds all the leverage and has no reason to do so. There are reports that LA will likely have to get rid of everyone currently under contract that isn't LBJ, AD, or Kyle Kuzma. There are also reports that LA is trying to do everything it can to literally buy 2nd round picks for Thursday nights draft just so they have marginal talent available to them.
This truly is the greatest timeline.
