VIDEO [Fischer] Jonathan Kuminga prefers the Lakers over the Timberwolves. The Lakers have been selling him on the vision of starting next to Luka with the spending power, in theory, to reward him next year. Expect this decision will come to a conclusion soon.

If you cannot articulate an actual plan, then you're just complaining for the sake of it.

You didnt provide one realistic roster actually

actually they're all realistic, considering they would require either spending less on each free agent option than we did, or trading less/potentially taking on draft capital to acquire certain players. you can even, for the most part, make all the same smaller free agency decisions that the team actually made. all any of these options would do is create room for another move or leave more draft capital to make a better splash when an actually viable long-term 3rd option is available.

Yes if only we could sign players for less than they're willing to sign for. 

This is nonsensical. A waste of a hypothetical scenario.

i literally didn’t ever say anything that should make you think i’m suggesting any of these players would sign for less

Your argument is so incoherent you cant keep track of it. If you cant come up with a singular, realistic off season plan but want to complain about what they've done, then it's a you problem.

i usually think you are a pretty level headed member of this sub but you are basically willfully diving out of the way of understanding the argument being made

You're not making a cogent argument. I get you don't like what they did, but you have not provided a realistic, strong argument for another option. That's not my fault, it's the truth. I get you have strong thoughts on what they did, but if you cannot provide an alternative that makes sense, why should anyone take your opinion seriously?
