Barnes, bogut, and a 1 is not awful.
I'd be happy with that package, all things considered.
I'm happy with that package (if true) period. I got so tired of watching Dwight play last year.

Let him walk and reload in 2014 is what I want.
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.
So you'd rather not have won those 2 titles?

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.

The Robert Sacre era begins.
They still have D'Antoni too.
It's like 1993 all over again.
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.
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.

Nah, us Laker fans are proper ####ed for a few years here at least I think.

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.

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.

Ditto. That was the only destination that truly turned my stomach. I wish the Lakers could have gotten something for Howard though.

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.

 
Think the Lakers ever snuck a quick call in to Howard or his agents today saying "stay with us and you can name your coach?" Can't believe they're going to let him walk over D'Antoni.

 
Is Jodie Meeks still on the team? I want to punch him in the face for being horrible.
Growing up with the name Jodie Meeks prolly has a history of being punched in the face.

But yeah, he's horrible.
He'll be the starting 2 while Kobe is rehabbing.
More like starting the first 2 games or weeks before he is benched.
Benched for whom?
Whoever isn't a sieve at defense.

Sir "not appearing in this film."

 
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.

The front office really screwed this thing up short term.

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.

For all intent and purposes, Howard's a Rocket and until he puts out something official, I'll wait and see who the real scapegoats are.

 
Would they be interested in bringing back Bynum? Find a trade partner for gasol?
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.

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.

To paraphrase Dean Martin from Back To School: "Uh, right... Phil. In Mr. Melon's Howard's defense, it was a really big check."

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.
 
So as a fan, I'm not so sure I'd really be thrilled if he signs with the Lakers, given that he's making it obvious it's just about the money.

That said, you think they could bring him over if they dumped D'Antoni now?

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. You really think James is going to opt out and come to a team with nobody on it?

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

I'll take GrOOvus' takes on the Lakers 100,000 times over yours. The less of you in a Laker thread the better.
