In honor of their game tonight........

[Black Adam]

If you say so, but what you won't/ can't do is name another team.

and why would i? this is YOUR childish game of "let's poke fun at the Lakers" to get everyone to NOT talk about LeClown, so why would i participate...?

Let's not forget, the Lakers were NBA champs not that long ago and have had the mindset to try to get Kobe #6 the last few seasons.
They have made wrong/ bad move after wrong/ bad move for quite some time.

er, you truly ARE a slow study. everyone has said that they made necessary moves, but for one reason or another they didn't pan out. DO tell me what YOU would've done soooo different, oh genius? oh, i know...amnesty Kobe...:rollseyes:

dude, try this tiresome crap on somebody else...

Who is everyone?
And "one reason or another they didn't pan out" means what, other then you have a bad team?

You can use that line/excuse for any type of failure.

Isn't that why James left the Cavs?

What would I have done?
Hindsight is 20/20.

All that really matters is what is done,

In general, once the new CBA was agreed on, IMO the Lakers should more proactive in not allowing their highest paid players to all grow old/slow together.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

IMO they CURRENTLY are top 2 in worst run.

From the coaching hirings, firings to the bad trades, signings, giving up draft choices, overpaying Kobe, and on and on.... they have been a disaster.


And I'm thrilled you think CL owns me, because you are also the person who thought the Lakers were a cinch to make the playoffs this year. just saying, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.


And as far as what your opinion is about what the Lakers will do, really, who cares?
Please tell me when they accomplish it.

You are way further away then you think you are.

Yeah, because I'm sure you foresaw the Lakers actually having more injuries than last year. I'll be sure to let you know.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

No, I figured all things being equal that they weren't a top 8 team in the West.

I did consider Kobe was coming off of surgery and 40 yr old PGs are never a good idea.

I figured them closer to being around a .500 team.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Lol, so now that the Lakers are rebuilding, they are all of a sudden one of the "worst run" franchises?

This dude is really stupid.

They are now rebuilding because of all the poor decision making.
If I recall, last year you entered the season thinking you were championship material.

So, really, who is stupid?

Don't act like you were on some planned rebuilding schedule like the Pistons, Bobcats, Wizards, etc..

in other words you have no clue. well, whatta suprise...

you're telling us about "20-20 hindsight", but your solution(such as it is) is to get every big name draw on the roster in order to "get younger and faster". and who's to say if that method would've worked out? and also you kill any type of fan draw in the name of something that isn;t close to 100%. nice job, Turnip...

What poor decisions ?? so trading Bynum for Howard was a bad Idea ?? getting Nash after Stern Vetoed the Chris Paul trade & Ramon Session did not resign, was also a bad idea ?? when at the time Lakers needed a PG badly & Nash was the best one available at that time, he was coming off a pretty good season in Phoenix.

And if I recall when all the players, like Kobe,Nash,Howard & Gasol got too finally play together after the all star break, didn't they go 25-12 wich was the best in the league after the All-Star break before Kobe went down??

Yep your troll thread was sure relevant to your opinion....Congrats!!

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Last night court side announcer Jalen Rose was calling for the CLE team to be blown up, said something like "they need to blow it up and they will".

LOL at that thought, and he is not wrong. There is no cheaper or better way to build than through the draft. Since 2011 they have had 2 #1s and 2 #4s. That is 4 players right there, 60% of their team should be set. I allow 15% for the 5th and 25% for bench.

If we remove those 4 picks they have had 10 other picks in those 3 drafts. All but 1 was in the top 34 of picks. The other was the 54th pick...they have drafted an entire playoff rotation 1.5 times in 3 years but suck so bad at this it is time to blow it up.

Cavs win this in a landslide, sorry Laker haters.

QUOTE=LALakersboy24.7;4492768]What poor decisions ?? so trading Bynum for Howard was a bad Idea ??

The Lakers got lucky because Bynum reinjured himself, or yes, it would have been a bad idea because Howard left.
If the Lakers for A MINUTE thought Howard wouldn't stay, they never make the move because they felt Bynum was going to be OK.

getting Nash after Stern Vetoed the Chris Paul trade & Ramon Session did not resign, was also a bad idea ??

Yes. 40 year old PG are not the answer in the NBA. The Lakers got chewed up in the playoffs the previous 2 years by PG's. Nash was only signed to play in D'Antoni's system (which is a joke).
So basically it was one bad idea complimenting another one.

As far as Sessions, he opted out of his option year. The Lakers chose not to pursue him multi year.
It wan't that Sessions wouldn't have been open to it.

If CP3 REALLY wanted to be a Laker, he could have played out the season and opted out of his contract. The trade was disallowed because it was horrible return to the New Orleans, it wasn't personal against the Lakers.

And if I recall when all the players, like Kobe,Nash,Howard & Gasol got too finally play together after the all star break, didn't they go 25-12 wich was the best in the league after the All-Star break before Kobe went down??

As I recall it was mostly because of Kobe basically killing himself, playing every minute of games to accomplish that.
Which lead to what?

It further proves my point. Someone at the top should have put an end to the 48 minute stuff, but nobody had the balls.

Kobe or no Kobe, despite the winning at the end, would have still resulted in a round 1 loss.

No it was a smart move not a lucky move, Bynum had been having issues with his knee's for sometime prior to the trade & he was a nut case, but to you giving credit to Mitch for making a smart move on this is not possible, you have to use the word luck to make sense of it, nice job.

1. In correct Nash was not a 40 year old point guard at the time of the signing, so your comment is irrelevant, he turned 40 today, he was signed when he was 38 & had came off a good season in Phoenix.

2. If you would know anything about the Ramon Session deal you would know that they offered him a 2 year deal, wich he refused believing he could get more & ended up getting the same deal in Charlotte wich was a stupid move by him.

3. Wether Paul wanted to be a Laker or not that wasn't the point, the point was you said they made poor decisions in this matter with out looking at the overall situation of what was going on & who was available to try & improve the roster.

As I recall it was mostly because of Kobe basically killing himself, playing every minute of games to accomplish that.

So in your opinion the rest of the squad had nothing to do with helping them go on a run to get in the playoffs, I guess you watch ever Laker game last season like I did right ??

How do you know they could of still for sure lost in the 1st round, nothing is for sure, do you have a crystal ball in your hands ??

2nd And what does losing in the 1st round have to do with them making poor decisions according to you ??
Was it the Lakers management fault that injuries hobbled the team last season ??

Seems to me you just want to bash at any relevant move that the lakers make no matter how coherent & common any other team would have made. It's obvious you know more about the Lakers than any laker fan in here. Maybe you should be the Lakers new GM.

Gave this thread a chance. Turned into the typical shit show.


And before any Heat fans or Lebroniacs start crying about the thread being moved. None of you cried when I moved the "Lebron flopped again last night" thread.


So before you start crying about it:

Sorry, Chico. It didn't go down that way. Looks like you don't know how it went.

The Lakers were prepared for Sessions' decision, but had hoped they could retain him and see what he could bring during a full season as the starting point guard before making a decision on an extended contract offer.

"I would have preferred that he would have exercised his option to extend and would have been with us for another year," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak told reporters on a conference call Tuesday afternoon. "Only because he is a young player that's going to get better."

Why is it that most threads started about the Lakers are started by Heat "fans?" Worry about your own team and stop obsessing about the Lakers.

Only call someone Chico if you actually know how to speak spanish & this word is mainly used by a female when talking to a man just so you know, so it sounds GAY coming from you unless you're a female, are you ?? para que aprendas que quiere decir de verdad, entiendes lo que te digo ?? ok.

Now this was after he opt out, I remember because Lakers had a final offer a few days prior to signing Nash & it was mention on the Local Espn LA Radio 710 by Mason & Ireland. I remember how they were talking on the radio how he took the same deal pretty much that the Lakers had offered him when he was hoping he would get more. It always stuck with me because of the way they said his agent was an idiot & I was paying close attention since I was a big fan of his after I met Sessions & got an autograph & picture with him when I met him at Frank & Sons here in Southern Cali. This is why I mentioned the same similar deal he got offered by the lakers that he got from the Bobcats because Ireland mentioned it & Ill take his word for it since he travels with the team & calls their play by play radio games.

 

[geneh_33]

The Lakers have picked up a lot of young talent that I believe will develop into star quality, at least some of them. I think they will hit the jackpot with these young guys after they get some NBA experience under their belts, maybe a couple of years.

The Lakers are certainly run a whole lot better than the Hawks are.

The thread was actually about teams with current poorly run front offices.
I submitted the Lakers as one of them and gave the opportunity to name others.
So far one person named the Hawks.

As far as worrying about the Heat, as of right now, why?

Resume/results are pretty damn good these day.
