OKC doesn't fucking learn

Fisher should only be playing the Juwan Howard role at this point. Basically a coach.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Fuck... Now I'm really looking forward to tank and will be extremely disappointed if we don't. I want Wiggins.

Also, I'll finally be able to afford decent Lakers tickets (probably not but I can hope. )

At least that's somewhat good news lol. Looking back in 06 I got tickets for what ended up being Kobe's 81 for $80 with parking. Granted they were season tickets and my parents friend worked at Staples, hence why we were able to get the tickets. But we did get tickets for section 107 row 18w. Which was like right behind the basket and in it's own little balcony esque section above the rows of seats.

 

[brianjones]

Magic should trade us Puig for a second rounder.

Nash/Kobe/Puig/Hill/Gasol

puig could be the next lebron tbh

 

[rando14]

ahahahahahaha

puig could be the next lebron tbh

ROFL give him a few seasons before you even think about something like that

I like how Lakers-Age think they won't get gifted Wiggins no matter what.

Everybody else in the tank game need to accept Parker or Randale futures now.

this is what I've been telling my friends who think the Lakers all doomed

league won't let the Lakers be shit

 

[Black Mamba]

Can we stop with the Lakers favortism meme? In the last 3 years they got stern'd on CP3, Dwight left for a smaller contract to the only city with more smog, and the new CBA conspired to screw their financial situation.

So move on, already.

 

[Nori Chan]

no h3ro no

Also atlanta please #FreeHorford

Did no one mention that Millsap signed to ATL for $19 mil over 2 years?

 

[Darkman M]

I soooo wish Knux is right, but i don't believe in conspiracy theory's.

I'd be happy with James Young if Lakers get a lottery pick.

 

[Black Mamba]

Lakers are signing Bynum to the vet min 1 year.

Then win the title.

Then laugh at Dwight.

Spoiler

then i wake up

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I really hope the Lakers aren't actually targeting Melo next summer.

Good fucking grief.

They really will be Knicks Jr.

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 1h

Dwight Howard on Phil Jackson possibly affecting his decision with the Lakers: "Well, I asked to have him as a coach earlier in the year..."

gotdamn

 

[ryutaro's mama]

They really will be Knicks Jr.

LOL

Is a Nets fan really talking shit?

As garbage as the Knicks have been, it's still a Knicks town.

Nets are Clippers Jr.

Nets, Jets, Mets...all second class franchises in NY.

We will see come lottery time. All those moves will merely be red herrings after Wiggins falls into your laps.

I soooo wish Knux is right, but i don't believe in conspiracy theory's.

It's not so much a conspiracy theory but more or less what I expect to happen.

Theory or not, the Celts and Lakers are very rarely shit at the same time.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Oh. lol

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Have it on strong authority Pelicans not only haven't talked to Rockets about Asik sign-and-trade but likewise have no interest in him

Good on Demps for actually believing in Davis as a center, one of the few moves from him I agree with him.

This might get awkward in Houston.

Stop fooling yourself. The Sixers are never getting Wiggins.

Dwight tearing that team's chemistry apart is the only thing worth looking forward to for Laker fans.

He'll still get 30 minutes a game. If he is truly unhappy, they'll gladly send him somewhere he can lose 40 games a season.

The Knicks are a first class franchise in no city.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Asik and Dwight being on the court together for 20 minutes per night would be pretty brutal offensively and they do the same things on defense.

Its nice to want things.....

but they're not going to get him

Should I rename you m-kad?

We don't deal in schadenfreude in Lakerland.

oh stop

"we got stern'd"

this is the same dude who said if he could, he would have a Lakers vs Lakers finals.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

No one wants him. Everyone hopes he stays put. He's basically Super Monta Ellis.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Thank goodness.

Denver literally got better when he left.

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen about 8 minutes ago
Barring any Rockets deals between now and day Dwight signs, the oldest guy on the roster? Dwight Howard, 27.

.

 

[Black Mamba]

The only way for this to be more depressing would be to land Melo and bargnani.

No thanks.

 

[SamuraiX-]

You can never have too many disgruntled players in this league.

I get great joy out of every other team's misfortune, however I do not get more joy out of that than I do my team's success. It's sports, that's how it should be.

Celtics sucking, Howard continuing to be immature, Knicks being the Knicks, Wade becoming Alfred. These things are great to watch.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Are the Josh Smith to Houston rumors bullshit?

 

[theignoramus]

Stein also can't confirm Houston, only Amick so far.

Finally someone else:

lol @ Mamba grasping onto dat last straw. Welcome to the lottery sweepstakes, Lakers age. But like I said, Bean will come back pissed and fuck up at least 8 or 9 tankable games with his ego and his one man heroics

 

[masud]

Be well Philly. lol

 

[Black Mamba]

I like how me reporting the news as it comes in is me grasping at straws when all week I said he's going to houston and all day I said he's going to houston and just wanted it to become official.

the hate is so strong here for laker fans.

[Black Mamba]

well, it's true. Have you seen the revenue sharing?

I guess "screw" was the wrong word. "take a huge chunk from" would be more apt.

 

[jordan0386]

Jeff, you are a poor mans Jason Williams. You do nothing great.

Just take 3 years 18 million from somebody, and go run your sprints.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I like the story during the CBA of Dr Buss taking the floor and basically saying: 'Yea, alright ok you win we should do revenue sharing, but y'all are some bitches for this. I just want y'all bitches to know that you're bitches before we move forward with this bitchassness."

 

[thekad]

let that salt flow mamba i got you

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Asik needs to go back to Chicago.

Noah ain't about that life.

[DY_nasty]

Who needs sleep when you have Black Mamba's tears as sustenance

 

[thekad]

Listen, I know Houston seems like a great fit. You got Harden's beard distracting everyone from your average post game, and Lin and Parsons can't trash talk about your toughness because they are in a full on bromance. No state income taxes. I get it. Slim Thug fixin' you with bad bitches. I get it. Baby Mamas only getting 20%. I get it.

But if you though Kobe was riding your ass, wait until you have a pair of post legends trying to make you a competent post scorer after your neglect of the art for nearly the past decade.

Dwight, you can still change your mind. Come to Milwaukee. We almost literally don't have a roster. We almost literally don't have a general manager capable of making intelligent decisions. We almost literally will have probably watched all the teams in our division get better than us, worse than us, and then better than us again over the last decade. You can literally be the GM and build-a-team like some 2k shit.

No one will talk shit about you. There is literally no pressure. People are too burnt out after Packer season to give a shit about this franchise. Aaron Rodgers and Ryan Braun will be recognized on the street more than you will. People will ask you if you are a new linebacker for the Packers and you'll respond "No, I'm the center for the Bucks" and they will ask you why you are here instead of in Tampa Bay practicing your long snaps.

How the fuck could you not want to play inside of this fucking thing?. It looks like the fucking architect realized last minute there were no fucking windows in his original design, so he decided to compensate by fucking gluing a smaller building to it that is only windows. WE COULD LITERALLY PAINT A MURAL TO YOU ON 90% OF THE BUILDING. LITERALLY. LOOK AT IT AGAIN. I PROMISE YOU THE OTHER SIDE LOOKS EVEN WORSE.

PLUS, NOW YOU GET TO PLAY NEXT TO

DREW GOODEN: FLOOR SPACER
LARRY SANDERS: SHOT BLOCKER
JON HENSON: SHOT BLOCKER
GREEK ROOKIE GUY: FREAK
GUSATVO AYON: ARM SLEEVE
LUC RICHARD MBAH A MOUTE: LITERALLY A PRINCE OF CAMEROON OR SOME SHIT. ALSO IS GOOD AT DEFENSE.
EKPE UDOH: SHOT BLOCKER
ISH SMITH: IS A POINT GUARD
WOLTERS: RACIAL DIVERSITY
ERSAN: FLOOR SPACING AND ETHNIC DIVERSITY

Think about your stats. I can see you averaging 35 and 15. You will be the first ever MOST VALUABLE IMPROVED PLAYER COACH AND DEFENDER OF THE YEAR AWARD winner. Fuck, we'll bring you off the bench if you wanna win sixth man of the year while your at it.

This is exactly what you want. Build your own team, no pressure, have fun, max deals until you die, no trade clauses, player options. Amnesty yourself if you get bored, no one will even know you were here.

Best Case Scenario: Build your own championship team

Worst Case Scenario: You win MVIPCDOTY award(s) and amnesty yourself when you get bored and do this whole free agency thing some other year

edit: literally

haha oh wow

 

[Knux-Future]

Stop fooling yourself. The Sixers are never getting Wiggins.

I've already accepted my Aaron Gordon or James Young future.

Not about to get my hopes up for Wiggins, Parker or Randale.

I think Ive gotten very good at expecting disappointments when it comes to the Sixers.
