No way anyone gives up a first rounder for Nick.

Ideally, it works, they keep their first round pick and fire Byron soon after the season has ended.

So are the Lakers though. Someone had to lose.

Stealth tank job by the Lakers front office. Hire a shitty coach who will let the brokendown Kobe chuck away at his delight. This will result in a large pile of losses this season bettering their chance of keeping that pick.

This assumes that the players are OK with throwing games. Unless they are getting paid by mobsters, they're not.

Straight up: Thunder @ Heat Magic @ Jazz Spurs @ Grizzlies Suns @ Wizards Bucks @ Pistons Rockets @ Mavs Cavs @ Pelicans Cavs @ Heat Blazers @ TWolves Pacers @ Jazz With spread: Nets @ Knicks -3.5 Lakers @ Hawks -12.5 Warriors @ Raptors +6.5 Kings @ Thunder -7.5 Tiebreaker: How many points...

It's not shocking that "True Lakers Fan" doesn't know how many chips Kobe has.

I did not like the trade at all. I've always wondered how Phil might have used Kobe and Eddie together. Phil likes big guards. The perimeter defense with those two on the court together would have been sick.

I always thought you were his biggest fan Cane. I'm shocked :lol:

He pretty much had that extended period of rest with the recent injuries. His body simply can't handle the pro game anymore and he finally realizes that now.

They traded Eddie for Glenn Rice. One reason Kobe didn't start his first couple of season was that they had Eddie. One of my favorite Lakers. Smooth athleticism.

Someone gets that the NBA is a business. With the Lakers, it is the only business of the majority owners. This isn't some billionaires play thing. Kobe was what 3rd or 4th in jersey sales last season? Kobe still brings in an insane profit for the Lakers even with the $25mil salary. Yes it has...

When you are great you get lots of hate.

The important thing this season is seeing improvement in the youth. I thought they played well yesterday. Just think about when they are getting a few more shots once Kobe retires. He again led the team last night with 20 shot attempts.

Might be a little biased considering a Lakers beat reporter wrote the article. One thing for sure though is that the Lakers drafted well in 2014.

Okafor was pulled over a few weeks ago for speeding. 108 mph on a bridge where going over 40 mph is considered reckless driving. Quit being foolish Jah.

How do you like his defense?

That's a big bird. Mine was half that size. I'm making some turkey stock with the carcass today. Turkey soup tonight!

I'm 6'5" and the wife is 5'3". You have me beat too!

One thing Phil Jackson said about what made it easier for Chicago to get to 72 wins was location. There is a lot more travel for an Oakland based team compared to a Chicago one. The Warrior's relatively young age may be enough to overcome that obstacle. Plus, they seem so motivated to win this...

Man, I'm much taller than my wife, but not Chris Bosh taller!

Ha, the slower ones taste better anyway. Mine turned out wonderful! :hungry:

Or maybe not having their best player all last season.

The coach was the issue though, right?

What's up with the Cavs players coming out while the Toronto dancers were still going? Seems a bit disrespectful. So does not doing the player introductions. The fans like seeing that.
