Weird how they put that little girl filter over Boozer's voice at the end when he's asking the scriptwriters a question.

He's Taj's assistant. He helps Taj carry Boozer's luggage.
Taj is the one taking the picture.
Why does it feel like this commercial happened 20 years ago?
"How come these dumbass kids have more lines than me?"
20 years ago. . . . .of dedication?
Holy shit, has anyone seen this before? They were straight kissing his ass.

Literally the saddest attempt from you yet.
I go for months on end not posting anywhere on GAF.
Work makes it so.
Has been the case since I moved to Washington.
Hell, I don't think I even posted at times where the Lakers were winning...Hornets comeback and Raptors game come to mind.
I post now when I can.

No one wants to see a fucking video of Carlos fucking Boozer getting a tour of the god damn Overstock.com offices.
Any of you guys check out this ESPN special before? It really shows the struggle Boozer and his wife went through to save their son's life. Shows how dedicated he is to his family.

Remember when dream used to update us on the Khloe and Lamar show?
Ah, memories...
Ah, memories...
Overstock.com is one of the world's largest corporations today, and that's only because of Carlos Boozer!!!

Offense isn't where Dwight's biggest value comes from. Though we'll see if Dwight ever returns to being the having the same level of impact on defense post-injury.
Exactly. Without our support, how is Boozer supposed to continue protecting the rain forest, while simultaneously finding cures for the world's deadliest diseases?

True Story:
Yesterday morning, I was getting shots up and when the basketball was bouncing around on the rim, I'd shout, "GET IN THERE!!!"
It worked a few times.
Thanks, Booz.

How can anyone watch this without tearing up? Seriously.
I do the same thing during sex.

This was really endearing. I'm glad Carmani Boozer is ok.
Carmani is a dope ass name. He's gonna be a star!
Carmani Boozer will one day carry the Chicago Boozers to the NBA Finals, ending decades of futility. This will, of course, come after Carlos Boozer buys the team, and makes Taj Gibson (who by this point will finally learn to read) the GM.

You still getting an Xbone, Nori Chan?
Agreed, but Carmani sounds like a girls name to me. It also sounds like the name was the love child of Carlos's name and his suits. Its also a brand of car rims. :/

As a Kings fan you should be one to talk. Such a failure that they didn't draft Lillard, Barnes, or Drummond.

They'll keep him because without Dwight they'll need someone to keep butts in the seat and draw headlines. Kobe coming back from an injury can do that, the garbage roster they'd have without him, well....
this Boozer schtick is getting really annoying
that would be a good move.
so the Lakers wouldn't do it.

They're at 77 million without Dwight for next year. You Amnesty Kobe (have him retire for one year) you save about 85 million in luxury tax. Trade Pau for some pieces, Tank So Hard Mutha******* can't find em, then re-sign Kobe after you get a lottery pick, and maybe even LBJ in the FA summer of 2014.
Without Dwight there's no reason to be a 8th seed and pay 130 million in luxury tax for Pau + Kobe
Edit: If they Amnesty Kobe and Trade Pau for an exception they don't end up using and take back half in contracts...they'll end up with about 115 million in luxury tax savings. 41 Home games a year, they can sustain a 2.5+ million loss per game in ticket sales and concessions and still come out in the black because of the luxury tax savings.
It makes all the business sense in the world to do that if you can't contend.

I don't think they can resign Kobe until his contract is up with them. And Kobe won't retire for a year, they amnesty him and he'll be playing with another team next season. But yeah, financially you are correct, I just find it hard to imagine the Lakers conceding all the headlines to the Clippers, going into full-on tank mode, and letting Kobe play for another team.
contract up next summer. He'd rather "retire" than play for some shit team for the same money. He's passing Jordan scoring wise in half a season. No reason left to play except to chip. It would be a tough sell, but if everyone's on board and the fan base knows this is an intentional tank for a lottery pick with a full reload in 2014, They'll be all good. Pau and Kobe can come back next year on 10 mil per contract type of deals, get Lebron, get a lottery pick, and go HAM.
Not saying it's what I want, necessarily and you're probably right, Kobe doesn't accept it. But, it's probably the smartest play all around.

He'd still be getting paid by LA, Kobe could take the vet minimum with a contender and still earn $30 million. You don't think Kobe would love to play for Chicago or such and try to win another title with the limited time he has left? You amnesty Kobe and by the time he's ready to play, he'll be on some contender. I don't think LA's ownership would ever want to see that. I mean fuck, what if he signed with the Clippers for a year to win a title?
It's only for the duration of the contract. So if Kobe were amnestied then the Lakers wouldn't be able to resign him until his current contract is up and with their cap situation it would be at the vets minimum in the 2014 offseason.

And if they can only offer him the vets minimum, what's to keep Kobe in LA after he's been amnestied? He has better chances of winning a ring elsewhere.
Doesn't Sasha live in LA
Either through luxury tax or revenue sharing the Lakers will need to share the money with the other teams anyway. Absolutely no sense to amnesty Kobe.
Also fuck that noise of pleasing Dwight by surrounding him with shooters. They didn't ruin the 2014 cap situation after all the crazy trades last summer and they are now going to ruin it by signing a bunch of mediocre shooters?
Just let him go.

So Lakers age plan is to amnesty Kobe... Tank.... Get a prime draft pick (Wiggins, jabari, randle, etc).... ???..... then re-sign Kobe for a vet min contract.... In order to Win a championship
Well that seems like a well thought out reasonable plan.... For Morey to tell Dwight in his pitch for him to go to Houston...

Wiggins et al. aren't ready to deliver chips year one. And Kobe grooming his succor is hilarious. Would never happen
Lakers age is spamming about Kobe right as you type that, and you are mad about Taj Gibson talk?
At least it is still funny / humorous, while Lakers age is borderline pathological...

Neither are funny though. And some of the Kobe talk is actually legitimate (e.g. is the best basketball move to amnesty Kobe, even though everyone knows it isn't happening)
Blackace
if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Kobe is a legit aging super star that deserves to be talked about..
all this Taj carries Boozers bags shit was cute the first 1500 post or so..
When Knicks age repeatedly equate Vaggy to Lakers age, you know they are getting desperate.
It is somewhat understandable given what happened in the past 2 days. They need to deflect the attention.

This Knicks/Nets stuff is cute. Knowing that none of these moves makes you actual contenders, so you're left scrapping over who's the best in NYC and who has the worst management.
