Am I missing something???

Why are Lakers fans puffing they chest out?? I mean I understand the whole big city able to attract FAs ( even tho they haven't been able to the last few years) but....

LA Prolly going to the spurs...

Cousins is not a lock...

Marc already said no to LA..

So all this confidence is coming from Russell and a washed Kobe???

People putting words in our mouths is the issue.

I, personally, am excited because we managed to keep our pick, and it turned into a rather excellent pick at that. We also managed to add young potential elsewhere on the roster that could benefit us down the line. Much like Kobe, Fisher, Farmar, Bynum, Sasha, Ariza all grew into useful pieces during title runs.

All that youth = cheap labor.

Then we have 23 mil to spend this year.
And 25+ mil, on top of another 20+ in cap jumping.

We could "potentially" add 3 max guys over two years, then go over the cap when needed to extend our young guys. (Randle, Russell, Clarkson, etc). That's how you build a deep, talented team to make runs with.

Ready to compete in 12 months? No, probably not.

In position to be a true threat to assemble a potentially great future in 12 months? (July 1, 2016). Yes, probably a real good chance.

That is reason for optimism. But I speak only for myself, not all Laker fans.

All of that makes sense, and I'll talked that as the Lakers opinion since you're the only fan that post rationally.

I was just enjoying the exchange between you and JP before your clown brethren jumped in taking shots at the franchise....

No need for all that, both teams have a good future ahead

I need cliffs on whether rck has legitimately converted to a Lakers fan or not

No prob. No, he hasn't. Basically, with respect to his Kings' fandom, Rck is like that person who gets worshiping-the-porcelain-god drunk and then swears off drinking forever. It lasts a couple weeks maybe - at best - then he's out drinking again. He can't quit those Kings. Especially for the Lake Show.
