we get it....u mad
u the only guy in this thread dumb enough to take that shit tainted bait
If that's all we could get, I'd say do it. But the biggest problem on this team right now is PG play. The defensive breakdowns just destroy the whole team defense and that's why teams get so many layups and open 3s on us. And on the other end, we have no play-making PG to do the same.
That needs to be addressed first. Melo would help the offense obviously but we would still be decimated by any PG with quicks. There has to be someone better than Fisher out there. Hell, give Blake a chance to play with the starters fulltime!

I believe Ron has an opt out after this year of his 5 year deal. Maybe he can be thrown in and traded for something. He's crazy enough to just leave the last 2 years on the table and go play in New Jersey or something.

Lakers feel like the Spurs of last year. You just feel that something's not right with the team and teams can feel that during games which gives the confidence to go along with the drive to beat the elite team out west.
I would troll Laker fans for being shocked that players who have that played that many minutes have finally falling off in their 30s, but I didn't see it coming with Kirilenko either so I can't

Who was it here that said high school players hit the wall at around 30 years old? It does seem like Kobe has hit the wall the last month or so. It seems like he's unable to create any space and he's always taking heavily contested shots.
That said, everybody wrote off Kobe last regular season too when he was recovering from the hand injury. Maybe Kobe is just in that stage along with Duncan, Garnett, Shaq, and other 90s players who can't really play a full 82 game regular season anymore at full capacity.
The other problem is that when Pau plays like ass, it puts even more of a burden on Kobe, which he simply can't carry anymore. I really think Pau is the epicenter of the Lakers funk.

There are no PG out there, the only ones comparable in impact to Melo are CP3 and Deron, and they are going nowhere. I'm of the belief that this team needs more than just benching Fisher for Blake or signing some middle of the road PG like Marcus Banks (i bet you'd love that, fucker!). We need a big trade, like what Orlando just did. This team could be on it's way to a 2nd 4 game losing streak and it's not even the all star break. Like I said, I'm not saying we can land Melo, maybe it's crackpipe, but when a guy of his stature is clearly available, and this team has the problems it has, I'd at least like to see our front office throw their hat in the ring.

I take solace in the fact that the Lakers are losing to crappy teams in addition to good teams.

Almost all players start declining around 30. I think someone suggested that the best predictor of decline is games played, and once a player has around 1000 games played, whether he's 32 or 29, he will start showing decline. Kobe has played 1052 games. Kobe has declined a bit, but I think it is a bit overstated by some. He is still a top SG in the league. But yeah, I agree that Pau is the epicenter of the Lakers. He really is an excellent offensive player, and he has played defense relatively well for the Lakers too.The Chosen One said:

:lol @ talks of Kobes decline
Hes the same. He would had the exact same game in his prime. Spurs just played fantastic defense on him.

You have to get better at team D. John Wall, Kirk Hinrich, Rondo...name who you want penetration is going to happen with the way that you can't even touch a guy on a drive in this league. The Lakers have shit rotation.
I kept mentioning over the past year that Kobe is on pace to have played more minutes and games than Jordan did in his entire career by the end of this season.ItWasMeantToBe19 said:I would troll Laker fans for being shocked that players who have that played that many minutes have finally falling off in their 30s, but I didn't see it coming with Kirilenko either so I can't
Granted, Jordan got into the league after three years at UNC, missed a year due to injury, and several due to retirement, but he played until he was 39.
He's passed Dominique Wilkins already, and Wilkins played until he was 39, but didn't join the league until he was 23. Wilkins didn't play nowhere near as many minutes in the playoffs, either.

When Pau is effective, it makes the game much easier for Kobe. You don't see that many Pau to Kobe or Kobe to Pau assists recently as opposed to at the beginning of the season.
Doesn't help that Bynum delayed his surgery to go watch the freaking World Cup. Kobe did that too but he's in game shape right away. Bynum historically has recovered slowly from injuries. Fucking selfish piece of shit.

The one thing to take away from that horrible Jazz loss last night. Deron Williams broke the NBA record for most points scored in a 35 second period. T-Mac scored 13 in 35, Deron scored 14 in 35.
Just watched some of the Frailblazer game and damn, they are in trouble. Camby is out too. They a lot of money tied up in Camby, Roy and LMA right now. Time to fire the coach and get someone that can turn LMA into a beast. Make some trades too (Though Camby and Roy are probably untradable).
They've had a shitty schedule and are playing on a back-to-back in Utah and Denver. There's no reason to fire Nate.charsace said:
And if you'd watched LMA at all, you'd know he's playing like a completely different player this season.
Wow Laker fans are really panicking. No trade is going to help us win a 3 peat. You can't get anyone equal to Kobe or Pau when their game is on. Those two guys are why we won it the last two years. We just have to ride it out and hope for the best like the Celtics did last year.
Laker fans are so nervous you guys are starting to listen to Konex...

Hey Laker fans, good news is that because you were blown out, your guys didn't have to play too many minutes so you'll be fresh against New Orleans tomorrow.
