Rodman: LeBron resting shows he's not Jordan


lol

if lebron retired TOMORROW he would have played in more games than Jordan.

He'd have rested more times too.

 

[trojanfan12]

The Lakers have never built thru the draft, and probably never will, they will get a big time free agent soon.

True. The Lakers have always built through a combination of draft, trades and free agency.

if the Lakers got LaVar Ball

Why the fuck would the Lakers want LaVar Ball?

Not looking good for Miami....and Boston being down 16 at half doesn't help. Feels like they need to win 3 of their final 4 to make it.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Who the Lakers might get during the offseason?

Hayward would be good. A top wing still in his prime.

that's the thing though. was hoping to see more development outta Ingram...

Yeah but 3 of 4 isn't out of the question IMO but we'll see. Frustrating but have to believe. Who knows? Maybe Indy or Chicago trips up soon.

 

[trojanfan12]

you can say "losers mentality"- Ill say- actual strategic planning.

Congratulations on yet another "Wiggyruss Stupidest Post of the Day" Award. You're close to beating Tristan's Ironman streak.

He's just 19. It'll take time. Devin Booker is a teenager too, but some bloom before others. My thing with Ingram is he has to pick up more weight.

Congratulations on yet another "Wiggyruss Stupidest Post of the Day" Award.

every team should follow the "proven" Cavs team building model. tank like Hell, then PRAY a superstar joins their ranks...

tried, tested, and true, folks...

 

[trojanfan12]

so you are saying the a free agent is the same thing as a trade

When the player has a no trade clause it is essentially the same as free agency because the player has a choice.

It really was the opposite with the Cavs.
There was no strategic planning.
It was bad basketball teams, bad drafting, but lucky lotto balls.
The Blatt hire is all the proof one would need to know Gilbert wasn't planning on James coming back that summer.

 

[trojanfan12]

Now that the retarded Buss is gone, and Magic is running the ship, free agents will go there.


Don't believe me just watch

They will definitely listen. With Short Buss, the Lakers couldn't even get a meeting with some of the guys they wanted to target over the last 2 FA periods.

With Magic, they will at least meet with the Lakers out of respect for who he is. From there, it will be a matter of whether or not he can close them.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Good.
That extra 7M swallows up McRoberts pay.

Haven't you heard? That letter and all of the anger and vitriol that was directed at Lebron was all part of Dan Gilberts master plan.

If Klutch hires @WiggyRuss the Lakers are eliminated from any and all potential FA they may represent.

 

[trojanfan12]

PG will be in a Lakers uni soon, and Cousins after that, plus Lonzo and then you got the Snitch and Ingram.

PG definitely, No thanks on Boogie. We'll see if they can keep their pick to get Lonzo. All of the sudden they seem to think they're a good team or something.

Fucking Celtics aren't exactly lighting the world on fire....
