Get rid of MDA. Sign Phil.

Trade Pau for some younger role players.

Hope Steve Nash retires.

HOPEFULLY resign Dwight. Despite all the crap he's put us through he IS the future.

Cut loose MWP, Duhon and Jamison. 

Resign Clark and Meeks.

Make a run for Chris Paul.

No idea... I tweeted it yesterday that Pau's situation is so complicated... The reasons to keep him. The reasons to dump him.. What teams may give. What teams won't give.

Could be high. Could be low.
 
I started repping everyone to brighten up the fact that we all just dealt with getting swept, but I reached my limit quickly :rolleyes

I'll send out more reps for you guys tomorrow.
 
Terrible season. There will be a bunch of changes of this off season I'm guessing. But y'all gotta remember that the Lakers don't stay down in the gutter forever. They'll be back :smokin

Earl Clark told me he wants to come back to Lakers even if they can only offer less money, fewer years compared to other possible teams

Good news

Just was one of those seasons, starting lineup only played what 7 games together ?Would've loved to have seen this team at full force....No excuses though, positive we'll bounce back and will be back on top soon. This organization hasn't let me down, don't see why they'd start now. Will enjoy the rest of the playoffs
 
Interesting post from K. Berger up, especially the quotes from MWP

What went wrong? So much that couldn't be controlled. But leave it to the incomparable Metta World Peace to put his finger right on the pulse of what could have been controlled -- what could have been done differently in a Lakers season that went so spectacularly wrong.

"At the end of the day, it has to be a collective effort and it has to jell; the system has to work for everybody," World Peace told CBS Sports Radio in an interview Saturday. "And you have to be the best team with the best coaches and the best players, and it has to make sense; it has to connect. For us, it just didn't connect. It wasn't [anybody's] fault. It just didn't happen.

"It's not necessarily about having the best names," he said. "It's about being the best team. So this year, I felt we had the most talent. It just wasn't translating and it didn't connect. We didn't connect with Coach Brown, and then Bernie [Bickerstaff] comes in we connect with Coach Bernie, and Coach D'Antoni comes in and it works for a little bit and then it doesn't work and then it works really well toward the end of the season. ... It's nobody's fault; it just didn't happen. We just did not connect."

"I feel like at times the Lakers did not let the coaches coach," World Peace said. "The players, we didn't let them do their job. So now you get the crowd's chanting, 'We want Phil, we want Phil,' and things like that, which is not a bad thing. But at the same time, you have to take some responsibility for the season. The fans can't blame Coach D'Antoni, can't blame Coach Brown for a season like this. It's a collective effort.

"Sometimes, we didn't let the coaches coach, and sometimes the coaches didn't coach," World Peace said. "So it goes both ways. Sometimes a coach can get in a tough situation where they respect these All-Stars so much that they don't want to rub people the wrong way. So sometimes I felt we should've been rubbed the wrong way. Sometimes I felt like Coach Brown could've rubbed us more the wrong way. Even Coach D'Antoni could've rubbed us the wrong way sometimes."

"You have to understand he is a great coach and you've got to respect the freedom sometimes that he's giving you and you've got to respect a guy's personality," World Peace said. "If a head coach has his own type of personality, you've got to respect that personality and can't ever take advantage of that personality.

"At times, a coach is trying to implement a system and at times we didn't let him implement his system," he continued. "And at times he wasn't that hard on us, so it goes both ways."
