One of the three teams at .500 or above in the East. I guess that means they are good

Not gonna lie. I had forgotten Elton Brand was still in the league. Would be a great candidate on Inside the NBA's "Who He Play For" bit

I didn't get to see the game because of work. It looks like we got our asses kicked again. 11-13 and a back-to-backer tomorrow night against Memphis.

Just tank and get Kobe one of these rookie studs if I were the Lakers, get rid of Pau just take Shumpert, I mean there are some decent free agents but the goal is to get Kobe a ring I think you need to tank try and get one of the top 3 rookies and go all out next season to get Kobe his 6th ring. But Jim Buss has no idea what the hell hes doing............ Sorry guys always one idiot that takes over a franchise for a short or long period of time.

KOBE was 4-14 and Gasol was his weak passive self. Reacting to the ball off the rim way to late. Having position under there for rebounds but doesn't get them because it's like he never heard of the concept of anticipation.One possession the Hawks got 4 shots at the basket while Gasol was tuning around in circles like he never could locate the ball. Meeks is in a bad shooting slump and the ball dies when it gets to Kobe. Hill is balling. LAKERS need Farmar back bad.

I don't think tanking and getting a high draft pick helps the Lakers win a title in the short term. It would be good for the franchise long term, but a rookie isn't putting them over the top next season.
