The last time the Lakers missed the playoffs, the smallest shirt I owned was 2XL. Feels bad man.

I feel like this is CP

Would love to see Jabari Parker get drafted by Lakers

Welp, let's see where that ping pong ball falls now.

I'd be much more interested in the draft lottery if it was done...

Def do not want McDermott. Great scorer, especially from the perimeter, but a total non factor on the defensive end. Un-athletic....Kind of a stretch 4 kind of a guy with his rebounding ability, but we already have Ryan Kelly (if we decide to keep him).


That's the type of guy we want at the 6th spot? Nah I'm good.


As far as Nash goes I say we cut bait now. He's not retiring, his money would be guaranteed anyways, and it's not like he'll suddenly become healthier in the off-season to where he can play regularly for us.


Just cut the guy, no stretch provision, give him his guap and let him ride into the sunset 10 milli richer.


Hope the lotto ball bounces our way and we can have a top-3 pick. Really want Embiid, probably not going to happen. Would be happy with Parker. If not I'm pretty high on Exum.


Thanks but no thanks on Julius Randle, Marcus Smart.

They are not being serious.

They are only saying it because I vowed to kill a person for each time McDermott was mentioned with the Lakers.

 

[hybridsoldier23]

33 wins next season. Who won the contest to predict wins?

Oh.

As far as MDA, if we keep him around let's hope the front-office goes all in on an uptempo roster.


No more bringing in multiple bigs that play the same style of ball.


Not a huge fan of MDA but we can't forget what he did with the Run 'N' Gun Suns once.

And that was what exactly?

MDA has to go...we can't move forward with the franchise since he's not going to be a part of the long term plans, cut bait with him now.

What exactly? Well they did get to the Western Conference Finals twice under his regime and they did eliminate us in 2006.


No rings obviously but you can't deny that the Suns were very good under his watch. All I'm saying is if you're going to hire a HC, build a team around his style.


Not his fault we traded for D12 and decided to sign him instead of Phil and bring back the triangle. Total mismatch of personnel and staff. Not a fan of D'Antoni but IDK if he's got a fair shake.
