No

sure

 

[Meier]

Love seeing Dwight get swept and going out like he did. Fuck off, loser. We got Vucevic thanks to you. *dances*

 

[Panzon]

Dwight is so heartless

 

[ThisWreckage]

My comments about him not being worth that kind of contract are becoming truer and truer with each passing day. I think he's a team cancer, a coach killer, and has attitude/maturity problems. And a bad back. But Lakers, please do sign him.

 

[Gully State]

curry is god at shooting

Fixed

 

[theignoramus]

Iggy is a bad iso player

 

[Psychological Intellect]

lol iggy thinks he's gonna get 60 million.

 

[jjasper]

It is hard for me to hate Heisley but overriding the entire scouting department wanting Curry to pick Thabeet has to be the dumbest move an owner has ever done.

 

[Emwitus]

choking

 

[charsace]

Return of Mac! Good to see TMac in the second round.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

We need to keep Mike Dantoni around and trade Pau for next to nothing and amnesty MWP. Even if Dwight resigns, a line up of:

Blake/broken Nash
Meeks/Godlock
Ebanks
Jamison/Hill
Dwight/Sacre

ensures a tank. All we need is one ping pong ball and Stern and his cronies will do the rest.

 

[AcridMeat]

Denver is imploding right now.

 

[IHaveCandy]

Is there a single team that benefited from that Howard/Bynum/Iggy trade?

Every team not involved

I really expected a Denverwin tonight

Oracle fans seems like they might be louder than the ones in Chesapeake

Good choice for suckage. However, dwight doesn't agree to a tank season by default...so that's out. And you need morris as your starting pg for maximum suckage.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Dat home court. Oracle looks intense as fk.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Is there a single team that benefited from that Howard/Bynum/Iggy trade?

orlando, I guess. Vucevic is damn good. They ended up with Tobias and Harkless somehow and they are looking to be good players, Harris and Vucevic especially.

 

[theignoramus]

Orlando. they have a bright future ahead of them.

 

[Cloudy]

Orlando. Got rid of Dwight and Vucevic is legit

lol Dwight doesn't care. He just cares about making as much money as possible before his baby mama's sink their claws in.

 

[Emwitus]

orlando....actually no. Since they just groom them for LA.

 

[Godslay]

Iggy was a good pick up, I don't care what anybody says!

On a different note that was about the worst half of basketball, I seen since, well... the Lakers playing this afternoon.

 

[cashman]

Wait, T-Mac is on the Spurs?

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I used to salivate at Iggy for Monta rumors.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

 

[theignoramus]

those "warriors, warriors" chants are too hype

Didn't you guys get blown out in game 2? With a roster at almost full strength? In an arena where only 3 teams have beat you? Definition of playoff choke if you ask me.

Yeah, so what? We are used to it now. No salt here, just telling it like it is. I'd say Nuggets fans are about the least delusional as to our chances in the playoffs. Gallo does count as a big loss in my opinion, but it's not an excuse.

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

I want to punch him in the face soooo bad.

That line up still won't be top five worst in the league. That team is still better than the Bobcats and a lot of other teams. And I can't see Dwight resigning if they're just going to tank anyway.

 

[Cloudy]

Too bad Lee got hurt. Spurs 2 easy rounds

 

[Red Blaster]

This is going to be a fun season once everyone meshes.
Still can't believe we kept Pau.

That clip of Lakers practice where Nash lobs it to Pau and he touch passes it to Dwight for a dunk.

HNNNNGGGG

The league is beyond on notice.

I still can't believe this is my team's starting five. I think I'll finally accept it when I see it all on the court... this season is getting me hyped!

I have a similar wallpaper on my comp right now.

Every day I wake up and turn on my comp I have all 5 of them smugly smiling back at me.

Feels good man. Feels damn good.

Once Dwight is ready to go I think I'm going to faint. That first Nash/Dwight PnR fuuuuuu.

Mitch: (to D12) " I want your jersey to be up there in 10 years"

Once Dwight suits up, this offense is going to be that much funner to watch. Metta looks great out there and if he's hitting his shots then the starting 5 is going to be that much more of a nightmare to defend. Teams can't afford to send help off of anyone.

Thank you Mitch. This team is going to be a juggernaut once Dwight comes back and it's going to be glorious.

Lol, that's so silly.

Dwight has 4-6 good years barring injury. Dude is only 26.

I think D'Antoni could be fine. I wish we had more shooters, but Meeks, jamison, Kobe, Nash, and Blake can hit 3s. And randomly Ron. Dwight is Amar'e on Steroids as is Pau for Diaw.

Just remember all of us laughed at Miami at 9-8. They still made the finals and nearly won it that year.

Can't wait til midseason and lakers roll 12 in a row and people here are whining about LA again. Will be fun.

still waiting for those 12 wins in a row

 

[pilonv1]

Everyone is welcome, even Lakers loserbros

 

[dream]

Ruthless, Red Blaster. I demand more.

Let's keep Pau. He's a professional and doesn't mind the losing as long as it works towards a great cause. You're almost guaranteed to get deadweight contracts that will ruin the cap space with a Pau trade.

 

[Gully State]

Puppy wagon....daaaawww..

At least 4 HoF posts there.

No you're not. You can trade him to a team with cap space, like say Cleveland or Atlanta, who can absorb his contract without having to give back the same amount of salary, and get, say a future 1st or a cheap young player or something in return. Pau doesn't have a future on this team so why drag things out? Send him somewhere where he will be better utilized.

Does anyone have my reactions to the Dwight trade? I'm pretty sure I was a voice of reason as usual

I just get the impression that Pau wants to stay with the team despite the losing. If he wants out I'm all for it.

Does anyone have my reactions to the Dwight trade? I'm pretty sure I was a voice of reason ad usual

No, you're the voice of Kobe as usual.

 

[Red Blaster]

reading the offseason thread its staggering what a fairweather little fucker nelo ice is

so sad the lakers got none more funner

 

[fredrancour]

What does the person getting pau's contract receive in return for absorbing that amount of money? I feel like they'd just be putting themselves in a shitty financial situation.
