2018 NBA offseason

[Kold]

No. I said he deserves credit for helping to get Lebron to LA but that his impact shouldn't be overstated. You, at first, agreed with me and then the 2nd time decided you needed to defend LakersNation honor.

And then you invoke one of the most tired ad hominem attacks you will ever see on message boards. The "why do you care" rebuttal. It can literally be used in almost any situation on a message board.

To be fair, if Jim/Mitch stays...that would of meant that they would of had to trade their 1st rd pick in D-Lo, and then admit that they screwed up on Mozgov deal, by pairing the 2 in a trade. Would of also had to trade Jordan Clarkson to sell Lebron on cap space as well. Long story short, I don't think they get to the point of putting us in the position to get LeBron this year

I completely agree. Buss/Mitch were a more or less incompetent front office. From what we've seen so far, Magic/Polinka are competent. Although, tbh, I'm absolutely baffled by their non-Lebron acquisitions to date. But I simply may be unaware of what their plan really is and these are all just stepping stones to 2019-2020

Q: Let's bring Michael Beasley back to Heat Nation. -- Daryl.

A: Selected simply because I'm the one who gets to pick the questions (and because you could even make an argument for the need for a cold-blooded scorer at forward). As far as any change of happening? It would be the ultimate validation of Pat Riley's love of reunions.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Charlotte's a sleeper next season y'all.....

LOL.

 

[trojanfan12]

Wow you really have an issue with the Lakers and their fans. It's been non stop butthurt for years now.

Have you not been reading his posts? He's not the problem. Everyone else is.

I was too until I read some articles on Lakersnation and ESPN. The strategy is going to be different this next season - The Lakers wants LeBron to do less then he has in the past with Cleveland - so they are trying to set up the young guys with some others that will play more defense and free up LeBron so that he isn't forced to do too much - I can't do the articles justice - but hopefully it will make more sense when they play together. Bottom line this LeBron team will not be anything like the Cavaliers team. As of right now, however it's generally believed that the Lakers are lacking the offensive players that can give LeBron the spacing and that's what they will be focusing on now.

I thought it was just you

Nah. Just you and Shaqdaddy.

 

[trojanfan12]

Nah. Just you and Shaqdaddy.

That's a lie.

I'm not gonna lie. Homers like you tend to be the norm with the Laker fans I know. Which definitely makes me not like the Lakers.

 

[flyerhawk]

That's a lie.

I have absolutely no idea what you think that quote is supposed to prove. Homers like Shaqdaddy certainly are annoying. What does that have to do with you getting your panties twisted up? I've never accused you of being a homer. And what does that have to do with "everyone else"?

Lol the butthurt continues.

Just man up and admit the fact you've hated the Lakers ever since the draft lottery two years ago. You've been bitching ever since then.

What gets me is his hatred for the Lakers and Lance's as well - no matter what, they have zero objectivity in wishing for the Lakers failure and they do a pretty good job of spinning their versions to be honest - If I didn't know better, I'd believe their bullshit

[tlance]

Lmfao...what is Kupchack doing?

On a side note....

How hilarious would it have been to just do Howard for Biyombo?

Send both their asses back to the teams that drafted them.

I guess Charlotte is trying to win 43 games this year? Perhaps they keep Kemba.

The real head scratcher for me is Orlando. Is there a team in the league that has been more poorly run over the last 5 years? I get that Biyombo is a bad contract and not a guy they needed at all, but damn. Mozgov is far worse. And all they get out of that swap is a mediocre back up PG.

At least get a draft pick of some kind.

 

[tlance]

He's much better than Javele

Offensively only.

B. Lopez is really overrated. But he an shoot at least. Bucks need that.

 

[tlance]

I want the Lakers to add Wade....

You shouldn't.

Melo would be a much better fit.

I've disliked the Lakers for wayyyyyy longer than the draft lottery. Honestly I couldn't care less about draft lotteries. However I hate the Celtics vastly more than the Lakers. I merely dislike the Lakers.

But where exactly did I offer anything approaching a criticism of the Lakers here? Saying that we shouldn't overstate how much credit Magic is hating on the Lakers now?

Seems to me that you and Shaqdaddy are constantly looking for reasons to call people haters.

 

[flyerhawk]

You shouldn't.

Melo would be a much better fit.

Not if he demands to be a starter.
