Kobe, Russell and Clarkson may get burned so badly, Hibbert won't have time to raise his arms up to defend shots.

I honestly think we should keep Hibbert long term after this season. We can offer a lower 1st year salary, and sweeten it with 7.5% raises as opposed to 4.5%.
Something along the lines of 4 year / $62mil (1st year $14mil)...
Reason being there are only a couple replacements on the market in 2016.
Al Jefferson.. A horrible fit with Randle. Only way I'd sign him is if KD said I'd only come to LA if you sign Al Jeff. Which is as likely as him saying I'll only come to LA if you have Nick Young
Joakim Noah is falling apart. No thanks.
Drummond. RFA he's staying in Detroit
Valanciunas... RFA he's likely staying in Toronto
Timofey Mozgov... Don't see theCavs LeBron letting him go. But it'd cost us a bunch to get him. So pass on him.
Those are the guys I'd pass on, these two are only possible replacements to me.
Hassan Whiteside is a possibility, that I could live with, but if he goes crazy again he costs more than $20mil. That would scare me off a bit.
Al Horford is the only guy who I'd go after, but his max is $26mil. I assume he may come in at around $20-22mil willing to take a paycut to build a contender with better players.

True. I'd rather ease him along. And on one hand. I'd take the higher salary of Hibbert, and just ensure you have 48 minutes of rim protection. Even if Robert eventually passes Hibbert for starting role.

Wes Johnson leaving has made me happier than the Lakers keeping their draft pick.

40-45 wins if Kobe stays healthy, Hibbert realizes hes 7 ft tall and russell and randle ball outThis. Our only good defender

Excited about Friday's game. When was the last time you were excited for Lakers basketball? Lol
Could this team be the 2013-2014 Phoenix Suns? Remember they were projected to be the worst team in the Division and ended up fighting for a playoff spot all the to the last day of the season.
