[::OFFSEASON OVER. Lock Please.::]

[RustyShackleford]

this dude really gave up $30m

as if he won't get that back in a free state taxed state and endorsements and get another max deal when he finishes this one.

He could do all those things in LA. Probably more since it is larger market

He wouldn't make up the entire 30 milli in taxes

Being a Laker is an honor. Our team shouldn't need to beg a player to come play here, if you don't want be here, there's the door. Good luck to this guy in Hou. Can't wait till Kobe dunks on him again.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Been one of the few saying that paying 5yr-120 mil to #12 is not something I wanted to do.

But... Good God this yr might suck.

Houston - Lakers: Christmas Game

 

[fontaine]

laker fans are OD...

as if this guy wasn't a bad coaching decision of reinsertinf jameer nelson into the starting lineup from winning a championship...


all those players on that team... what have they done since he left?

Dwight had a injury plagued last couple years...

but let's not pretend like this dude is trash a d doesn't have a chance of winning.

he's 27... and controls the paint better than anyone in the league BY FAR...

some of y'all need to get out of the feelings and be objective...

Houston - Lakers: Christmas Game

God, I hope so.

 

[knightngale]

Mitch finally drops the "I believe we can win a championship with this current team" bs

Gonna be interesting to see which NBDL players the L akers go after now

 

[teamlakers909]

Jim Buss is destroying the Lakers

i have mixed feelings about jim buss.

if you look at the moves he did make: getting nash for nothing, exchanging Bynum for Howard and getting CP3 for pau and odom vs the ones he didnt: passing on PJax, settling on brown then dantoni - I'm torn.

Basically how I feel sans Kobe dunking on him, cus we both know that ain't happening again at his age

SAS said Dwight sees him and James Harden being the new Shaq and Kobe down the line...

 

[daddyrabbit251]

Run w/ what u ya got. It's a better team w/o Dwight. Find some instant offense for the bench and to fill Kobe's shoes until he returns. Team should've went after Earl more tho
Gonna miss his athleticism and ability to play on the perimeter

 

[RustyShackleford]

I hope Kobe starts injecting holy water into his Achilles so he can turn back the clock and violate Howard at the rim one more time .

 

[the antihype]

Anybody else kind of hope that Mitch gets fired over this, and Phil steps in as the new GM?

What????

 

[kal-el-8]

That would be TERRIBLE.

Mitch is the best in the business. 

just cuz a flip flopping child left, doesn't mean he should get fired.

you're crazy.

thats enough NT for one summer.

in other words he got us nothing. nash for nothing and nash gives us nothing. hes 40. bynum for howard and now we have nothing. cp3 trade nixed. nothing

a big f u to phil jackson and signs losers like brown and antoni.

this team is old and full of trash. all that cap space in 2014 to sign.............................NOTHING the roster wont attract anyone.

lol

 

[lynchpin33]

man I would lose it if Mitch went after Bynum at this point, things can't get this bad. I hate to see Bean going out like this. sign and trade for Asik maybe????

blame it on the pressure of being in L.A., blame it on Kobe being so hard on him, blame it on him being a big *** kid, hell blame it on Jim Buss....

 

[kal-el-8]

SAS said Dwight sees him and James Harden being the new Shaq and Kobe down the line...

Nope. Harden isnt anything like kobe was.

and howard isnt even 5% of the player shaq was when he was on the lakers

blame it on jim buss.

period.

his team decisions i.e. trades signings have been good, no complaints.

his coach decisions have been horrid..

and it cost us a tier two superstar.

It is what is, there was good chance we weren't winning anything with dwight anyway, plus he's a female dog.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Pau on the block Mitch, DO ITTTTTTTT

Nash to Raptors Mitch, DO ITTTTTTT

MWP to anybody that will take him Mitch, DO ITTTTTTT


Sacre
Kelly
VACANT
Meeks
Blake

 

[CHAOSE57]

Kobe unfollowed Dwight and posted a pic of him and basedPau in IG.

 

[combo gd]

I'm happy. 

Good riddance

 

[fontaine]

maybe not the same player...

but they're stats are similar at that age...

Dwight ain't touching shaq... but defensively Dwight >>> shaq... by the smallest of hairs...

this can be an upgraded 08 or 09 magic team (whenever they made the finals)

snipers all around... a guy that can pass and create .. get to the free throw line...

push up defense because you have an anchor..
