Sorry to hear that. It truly is a sad day in Los Angeles for basketball when the Lakers are better than the Clippers. And I don't want that to happen.

Never thought there'd be a reason to be jealous of Cleveland.

LAD said:

Naw, I'm not buying into this.

He undeniably is a great talent. Can't argue that. But, here's some things to consider if he goes to the Lakers:

1. How many of their new pieces will they have to give up to get him
2. How many years will they sign him - (he will be on the other side of 33 next summer & father time is undefeated)
3. Will the impact of playing with him stunt the growth of the rookies (more specifically Ball & Kuzma)
4. Does anyone really think he wants to finish out his career as a Laker
5. What will be the plan post LBJ (we know he only likes to sign 1 year deals - so what position will the team be in when he leaves after a year or two)

So what do the Lakers do about LaVar? Apparently Magic's talk with him fell on deaf ears. SMH

Preseason I thought they could get 30 wins and if everything broke right for them (ie a very bad East), they could conceivably contend for the 8th seed at a low 35 wins (again, very bad East). The East is better than I thought but even still, they can still make that 30 wins. And if Lin and Russell weren't hurt, I legitimately think they could hang in the race for the playoffs. Atkinson is changing the culture. They're playing the right way, he's utilizing talent, and players are buying in

I tried to tell people this before preseason but they're even playing better than I anticipated considering they been without Lin for the entire season and Russell for most of the season.
