LaMarcus Aldridge will not be joining the Lakers, The Times has learned. They were a 50-50 choice but he disliked bball part of presentation

When I saw that they had people from TWC I was

Didn't they try that with Dwight too? Taking ab giving him a show and what not on TWC

I can understand doing it for Dwight but LA has zero personality.

 

[licensed to ball]

Who gives a **** man.

This seasons still gonna be fun to watch. Aldridge wasn't going to help us do ****

 

[kal-el-8]

"we're the lakers" though? 

 

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Power point probably has Melos and Dwights name on it that they forgot to change to Aldridge. Smh.

Meeting took 2 hour last night because it probably took them an hour to set up power point.
Another 30' mins of Jeanie showing LA the trophies
Another 20 mins of Mitch saying I want to see your jersey up on that wall.

this is true, at least we will get to watch Randle blossom this season

 

[eracism]

What is there to even present? You're a 23 & 10 player whose postseason career would even make CP3 feel better about himself. Like what do you want to hear dude.

 

[essential1]

And it ain't Jeanie Buss her dumb *** brother *** everything up AGAIN

Yeah because Jeanie isn't the biggest seller of the off court bull.

LOL the LMA radio spots that are playing on Mason and Ireland are hilarious.

As a fellow Knicks fan watching his team strike out on free agents as well, all I can say is hang in there.

Kobe is killing it for you guys. No one wants to play on the team because Kobe wants to be the guy. I can see him arguing with Russell and stunting his growth as well. The guy is old and grump and needs to leave the team for the better good.

 

[CP1708]

Fairly clear, Russell/Randle/Clarkson/Nance/Brown/Upshaw need to ball.

THAT, will bring in free agents.

Clarkson is the only one that's shown he can play.

Go get RoLo/Tobias. Add talent to the pool, play out Kobe's final year.

 

[WAKKO!]

Los Angeles Knicks?

 

[frink85]

at this point give me any center and let the youngins flourish. just hand them the keys straight out the gate

 

[kal-el-8]

Los Angeles Raiders?

Fixed.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

The basketball portion of the presentation didn't sell LMA. I really want to see this presentation.

 

[rck3sactown]

did we really want LMA in the first place anyway?

This just gives the youngin's more game time to develop tbh

Right. Who needs a big man that can get 24 and 10. The main reason they passed on Okafor was banking on getting LMA.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Embarrassing that we can't sell players on a solid future team when we legitimately have those pieces in place. This extracurricular bull**** is so dumb, that **** should not be the crux of your pitch.

I blame Kobe.

 

[kal-el-8]

3 straight summers. 

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Lot of people not used to seeing the Lakers win
Same can be said about a lot people not used to seeing Lakers not land 1 big name the last 3 years
Thus, the panic.

 

[hymen man]

@ the grief on Kobe in here right now

 

[ultralightbeam]

Why the Lakers' FO would include Kobe in any of these pitches is beyond me.

 

[JCMojica24]

This sucks! What are the options now?

 

[rolaholic]

 

If Kobe made 10 mil this year, ala Duncan/Dirk

We'd have 38+ mil in cap, enough to pull both DeAndre and LaMarcus, right now, today.

But hey, what do I know?

hindsight is 50-50

I've lurked this thread today but had to step in here,man almost EVERYONE thought that was a bad deal from the start 

 

 

[CHAOSE57]

Meh, it is what it is. This is a process, move onto the next one.
