some Beasley to LA talk..

I post this mostly for the little gem of course, that Luke Walton is still getting paid..

Furthermore, the Lakers have tried to have money going out with any deal that would have money coming in and have tried to unload Luke Walton's $6.1 million expiring contract to no avail.

No more Luke!!!!! Yes!!!

Cavs send Ramon Sessions & Christian Eyenga for Luke Walton & 2012 Lakers first rounder. LAL gets right to swap '13 1st rounder w/Heat pick

Edit* Jason Kapono also being shipped to the Cavs as part of the deal

You meaning me?

Shedding one of the highest paid and oldest players, while also getting rid of two of their worst bench players is pretty damn good work by The Lakers.

Whether your a hater or not... those trades are an improvement.

Adding Nick Young is pretty meh.

Kupchak working his magic again. Got the pg we needed and got some cap relief. As far as Fisher, yeah it sucks, but it was done for basketball reasons. No way you could've kept him. Takes pressure off of Brown having to decide whether you start Fish or automatically bench the guy, would of been awkward.

Blazers fired Nate McMilan and released Greg "debatably worst #1 pick ever" Oden.

The biggest moves the Lakers made were getting rid of cap space (Luke Walton) and old people (D Fish). The additions were not that spectacular. Sessions is meh at best and he will have to adjust to a play maker and not someone making shots.

Nick Young fills the SG hole the Clippers had after Billups went down. Nick Young is a solid player and the best player that the Wizards had. Now he is on a team with some leadership and some direction. The Clippers are now stronger than the Lakers.
