I'm happy with that package (if true) period. I got so tired of watching Dwight play last year.I'd be happy with that package, all things considered.Barnes, bogut, and a 1 is not awful.
The last time Jerry West was involved with a trade they got Pau Gasol. They traded Marc in that deal. I wish they would had kept Marc.I'm happy with that package (if true) period.

Let him walk and reload in 2014 is what I want.

Phil Jackson would had won with Marc. He wouldn't have to yell at him to get in the game like he did with Pau.So you'd rather not have won those 2 titles?The last time Jerry West was involved with a trade they got Pau Gasol.

It's like 1993 all over again.They still have D'Antoni too.The Robert Sacre era begins.
I'd say just blow up the team, but Jimbo is in charge, so his cocaine fueled decisions is already doing that. Now all he has to do is take a back seat to Sterling in the same house.It's like 1993 all over again.They still have D'Antoni too.The Robert Sacre era begins.
Well that's just special.Tim thinks this may be your greatest team ever.
I wonder if there's some clause whereby if Jimmy screws up enough, Jeannie gets full control. Maybe she's just letting him dig his own grave for a couple of years, then her and Phil run the show.I'd say just blow up the team, but Jimbo is in charge, so his cocaine fueled decisions is already doing that.

Phil Jackson said on the Daily Show about a month ago that what Jeannie does now is all she wants to do. Which has been ten times more important to the Lakers than anything Jimbo can screw up now. In Jimbo's defense, he has brought in some names like Paul and Howard, but with Jackson around, he still thinks he has to prove he being "The Man" when fans would rather have his sister and Jackson involved.I wonder if there's some clause whereby if Jimmy screws up enough, Jeannie gets full control.

Nah, us Laker fans are proper ####ed for a few years here at least I think.
Ditto. That was the only destination that truly turned my stomach.

Bring me back Jerry West. He can at least build a team from the inside out.
BTW, congrats Abe. I hope Howard is the final piece to that puzzle over in HOU. Rather see Howard go to HOU than that ###hat's Cuban's team in DAL.
Meanwhile, no update on the LA Times Laker blog on Howard at the time of this post. They must be relying on Bleacher Report for the umpteenth posts about Howard and the smell of his locker at that hole of a wannabe sports site. Why most papers link that crap I dunno.Ditto.

But will the starters suck more - that's the question.So this Laker bench is still going to suck major balls, right?
Just wait until Jimbo fires D'Antoni for Don Nelson, because they weren't running fast enough.So this Laker bench is still going to suck major balls, right?
Growing up with the name Jodie Meeks prolly has a history of being punched in the face.Is Jodie Meeks still on the team? I want to punch him in the face for being horrible.
He'll be the starting 2 while Kobe is rehabbing.Growing up with the name Jodie Meeks prolly has a history of being punched in the face.Is Jodie Meeks still on the team? I want to punch him in the face for being horrible.

The front office really screwed this thing up short term.ESPN sources say Dwight Howard is leaving L.A. because of D’Antoni’s system, Nash’s age and not wanting to be Kobe’s sidekick for 3-4 years.

I'm reading all kinds of stuff that Howard is flying back to LA to meet with Kupchak (Bresnehan), that he still hasn't made a decision, etc.The front office really screwed this thing up short term.ESPN sources say Dwight Howard is leaving L.A. because of D’Antoni’s system, Nash’s age and not wanting to be Kobe’s sidekick for 3-4 years.

Another reason why I never use the term "we" when referring to a team I root for.Ok we move on from here. Good luck to the Rockets and Dwight.
I dunno about Bynum. Howard was a bit of head case in LA though not as bad as Bynum, and centers getting ejected during playoff games is getting kinda old.Would they be interested in bringing back Bynum? Find a trade partner for gasol?
I don't think they'd sign him to anything more than a 1 year deal. Plan B is to have an empty roster next offseason, so they can have lots of space to sign no-one when nobody opts out of their deals and the Pacers match whatever offer the Lakers make to Paul George.Would they be interested in bringing back Bynum? Find a trade partner for gasol?
WAT. Jeebus, just go to the Rockets already. I was kinda looking forward to see what they would have cooking next season.Espn reporting that he has called lal to say he is 50/50.![]()
To paraphrase Dean Martin from Back To School: "Uh, right... Phil. In Mr. Melon's Howard's defense, it was a really big check."Leeroy Jenkins said:This dude is insane.
Yea, $30m is $30m. He must not be confident in his back, otherwise I feel he'd make that money up in his next contract extension.To paraphrase Dean Martin from Back To School: "Uh, right... Phil. In Mr. Melon's Howard's defense, it was a really big check."Leeroy Jenkins said:This dude is insane.

You have got to be the most negative Lakers fan ever. You need to put a little faith in Time Warner- they are not going to let their premium sports franchise, worth billions of dollars, fall apart.Gr00vus said:I don't think they'd sign him to anything more than a 1 year deal.

Time Warner is going to force a bunch of guys to opt out when they don't need to and change the CBA so the Pacers can't match on George? Sure all kinds of crazy #### can and will happen between now and next offsesason, but just going off what we know now, I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel there.

I guarantee next summer will be very good for Lakers fans. I'm not going to offer any details because I have none.
