Kobe averaged 6.0 APG that season. His second best season. Kobe wasn't being a selfish chucker. You have to remember that the Lakers still had Gasol who was also getting his fair share of shot attempts. There were personality conflicts, but you can't blame Kobe's on court actions.

I think one of the points was that Miami does not have Bird Rights on Whiteside. They won't be able to offer him a maximum contract which certainly other suitors will. I believe if they traded for Howard, they would get his Bird Rights and could resign while going over the cap.

The youth are improving despite the head coach.

The Lakers will have more losses as well :L Of course, that makes it more likely they keep their 2016 1st rounder :yes:

His ceiling is much higher than Tristan Thompson's. If he can improve on finishing with his right hand and develop the midrange jumper, mainly from the elbows, he will be a tough player to guard. He is proving to be a beast going left and he attacks rebounds. He needs to develop that jumper...

Klay Thompson not playing tonight. You might be right this time!

Bosh didn't even try to block that one

:Cry:

When is the last time Rondo's dunked the ball? Must be contract year elevation.

With the available cap space that the Lakers will have, a quick turnaround could happen this summer. If they are fortunate enough to land a top-3 pick next summer, especially #1, that is a huge trade chip which could bring in a top player. Things looked bleak a couple years ago. Now with three...

I doubt he does. More of a pipe dream end game, but no doubt that the Lakers will make a max contract pitch to KD.

They have the cap room for: PG: Russell SG: Clarkson SF: Durant PF: Randle C: Whiteside Throw in a possible top-3 draft pick asset and a new coach and the Lakers have their end game.

Byron will survive this season and will be fired soon after it ends. Mitch did question the development of the youth so far this season which is obviously questioning what Byron is doing and the front office indicated that they will evaluate Byron at the end of the season.

Next year's coach depends on who KD wants.

They appear so far ahead of the league that I'm not sure anyone can give them problems except maybe themselves. Their level of motivation seems through the roof.

There was absolutely no reason to have Russell and Randle come off the bench. They've been actually playing decent the last couple of weeks. Randle is becoming a double-double machine. Russell was getting more comfortable even though the offense hinders his abilities. These two are supposed to...

Tonight is not looking like the night

It's not going to lead to anymore wins though. I guess there's a silver lining :noidea:

Yeah, Black is definitely undersized at the center position. He can make some of that up with his strength and athleticism. Bass is just clearly playing out of position.

That's a big part of problem and unfortunately not going to change. The Kobe farewell tour is the bigger priority than the youth movement. Byron is the perfect coach for it. He won't tell Kobe to reign things in.

And his rationale made absolutely no sense.

When's the last time Black has even played? He's not a future superstar but he can be a decent role player. Give him some run.

#Byeron This clown is possibly the worst coach the NBA has ever seen. And I'm being nice by saying possibly. :poke:

So the wise Byron has decided to bench Russell and Randle, starting Williams and Nance instead. This joke just keeps getting worse. Russell and Randle are the future of the team. They have been play well recently and showing growth. I mean, what the fuck?
