Lakers OFF-SEASON IS A WRAP

[grandtheftbike]

CP, office. NOW.

(that means PM me)

(I'm confused.)

(This can't be real. Or life.)

(Feels like Johnny Damon on the Yankees.)

(Someone tell me I'm missing the sarcasm. Please. I won't feel stupid. Well, I might, but at least it will all make sense.)

Voted for Chester

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Any idea when the press conference is?

TWolves had theirs already

 

[licensed to ball]

So far it's a tight race in the poll.

Either both will be accepted or both will be denied

Or like sideshow freaks parlaying loyalty for a quick laugh? :\

Is rck just doing this because we might get Boogie? So what if we don't and he's voted in... again? :\

Is Chester just doing this because LMA's out? :\

It's going over my head, isn't it? I'm completely missing a joke, aren't I ?

*slaps knee* Boy, you guys. Chester & rck, Lakers fans.

Chester... CHESTER, A LAKERS FAN.

And DSA hates Tom Brady, right?



:\

:\ :\

I'm guessing Monday since it hasn't happened today and holding it over the weekend would be weird. They did the same thing for Randle last year too.

Geez one of my pals placed a bet a couple years too early SMH

I know this dude ain't put Lakers in his sig

Splitter/Green
RoLo/Aminu
LA/Filler

I always liked LA, but ehhh for this team at this moment.

We’re pretty much on the same wavelength but I get them tryin for LMA as a star lure for next year and such.

But I like the idea of Splitter/Green and weakening their depth and letting them put their eggs in the one player basket.


Splitter/Upshaw/Sacre
Randle/Black/Nance
Brown/Young
Kobe/Green
Russell/Clarkson

Is a pretty fun group starting out. Versatile everywhere. Young with upside. Cash the following year to upgrade weaknesses post Kobe. Moveable assets aplenty. Injury protection. Scoring off the bench. Mix of O/D Room to add a player here or there on the cheap should one come available.


Now just fire Byron, and let the good times roll.

 

[pmatic]

Welp!

It has been widely assumed in league circles that the Spurs would be forced to try to trade veteran forward Tiago Splitter to help create the needed salary-cap flexibility to handle the max deals San Antonio has earmarked for Leonard (and the likes of Aldridge or Memphis' Marc Gasol) and still have room to accommodate Duncan and Ginobili at reduced salaries, if the latter two choose to play on. But sources told ESPN.com that the Spurs actually rebuffed trade interest from teams hoping to pry Splitter away in conjunction with Thursday's NBA draft, raising the possibility that Splitter might stick around.

The futures are less clear for Spurs sharpshooters Danny Green and Marco Belinelli, two unrestricted free agents who played pivotal roles off the bench in helping San Antonio make back-to-back trips to the NBA Finals in 2013 and 2014 -- and win it all in '14 in a second consecutive Finals showdown with the Miami Heat.

@JaredZwerling I spoke with Jordan Clarkson about D'Angelo Russell. He said ...

@JaredZwerling JC "I like the pick. I watched him a lot in college. We can play together, can play on or off the ball. We make the backcourt more dynamic."

@JaredZwerling Jordan Clarkson told me he envisions a 1 (Russell), 2 (Clarkson) and 3 (Kobe) lineup. With Russell, "We got a lot of room to grow together."

Tobias year at Tenn and LNJ final 2 seasons at Wyoming are damn near identical numbers wise. Draymond' s senior season is better than both at 16/10/45%/39% from 3. With that athleticism man I think we really have something in LNJ that we would've otherwise been looking for in FA.

Same with Brown. If he the shooter/defender he and scouts say he is.... Sheesh. Money well saved

I sat down a really looked at the guys we drafted and even some that we didn't draft and we did a great job. The team knew they couldn't get Justin at 27th so they really focused on going after two capable guys at the same position. Long term this sets us up better than Okafor or Marc (even tho he really wanted to play with Julius and even Kobe). If this front office can land Marc Gasol.... It's not about winning 3-4 years now, this team can really contend a year or two for now. If they can get Marc Gasol. With this team..... Sheesh

 

[Lizakers]

If Gasol leaves MEM for SA, LMA is ours

You guys ok with the max for a 30 year old?

 

[fun guy]

^ LMA can play at an elite level till he's 34. He will be something less each year, but hes got a floor game that will age just like Pau's, except his jumper won't fall off as much.

Not my favorite idea in the world but he's far from a terrible choice *see melo.

 

[grandtheftbike]

Gasol in SAS would be a great fit :x

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Can y'all afford LMA and Tobias?

 

[fun guy]

Nope. 1 max and change, or 2-3 high end role players.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Interesting. LMA and Aminu makes sense then.

Chester hates... wait, who was it again? Ummmm... Oh yeah, THE LAKERS. Chester hates the LOS ANGELES LAKERS.

I've moved on from my past transgressions and fully embraced the purple and gold.

trying to troll from the inside. smart but we aren't buying it, bruh. 

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Aight, I'm all in for DRuss.


For the last year we've been hearing how great Okafor will be and after watching him in college he looked like a sure thing, I just didn't see how you can pass on that. Listening to some of these sports shows everybody is saying DRuss is a great pick. I didn't watch him college at all, I only paid attention to KAT and Okafor but after watching some of his stuff on youtube I see why people are saying he can be a superstar. His passing is ridiculous, his handle is nice, he's quick, I can't really judge his jumpshot based on highlights maybe somebody can help me on that but his size is what I love. I always liked bigger PG's, it gives him a big advantage to see the floor and score over other PG's so I'm in.


Let's get it
