The money makes this look like a panic move, but I think we're going to see a lot of rank and file players reel in a lot of cash. The real issue is can he be effective?
He will be effective, but only up to a point and he does not bring the team up in value enough to attract elite players. It might help attract enough players to get the Lakers into the 30+ wins bracket though and that is their only goal right now besides developing the youngsters

Well you can root for cleveland now that they have a championship to add to all the other cleveland teams you have in your profile.


What the hell are you talking about? Not everyone originally from NE Ohio are Cavs fans. Been a Celtics fan for 30+ years. But if it makes you feel better to think I'm a Cavs fan go right ahead. Maybe you don't like jokes about the Lakers? Well too damn bad...because I'm not gonna stop just because you got upset over a sarcastic joke.

Another possible reason for the Mozgov signing, that folks are overlooking, may be the drafting of Ivica Zubac. He's a projected first round talent who fell to the Lakers at #32 (similar to how they got Clarkson). So, part of the reason to get Mozgov may have been to help with the development of Zubac.

If memory serves, Mitch said something awhile back about needing solid vets to help with the development of the youngsters.

I think you are right. I can't wait for the season. I think Ingram is going to make laker fans extremely happy.

Pretty excited for the season too. I can't wait to see what Luke brings and how the young guys improve. I agree about Ingram. The more I read about him and Simmons, the more I like Ingram. I think Simmons still projects to be the better overall player, but I think he also projects as more likely to not fulfill his potential.

Short Buss continues to eff this thing up with his reasoning for paying Mosgov that amount of cash. I agree with TJF12's assertion that Mosgov is/was signed to fill the need for vet active playing "consultants" to help with the development of youngsters such as Croatia boy. BUT, and this is a subjective matter, one does not have to throw that amount of cash at a player/consultant who is NOT the best out there for the dollar value. Short Buss coulda/shoulda/woulda has been his montra as many of us have been stating ever since this warped flip job got is hands on the Lakers reins.

I don't think you understand - when your team is so bad that no one is interested, you have to over-pay the greedy ones that will bring you back - this is to be expected

Shouldn't you be on the Celtics Board or Cavaliers board then?

So I should go to the Celtics or Cavs board to leave a sarcastic comment about the Lakers signing Mozgov?

Al Jefferson taking 6 million a year less than Mozgov makes the deal look a little worse.

Jimmy Buss strikes and he nearly out "Jim Buss's" himself wow. Paying a 30 year old center with declining minutes 64 million over 4 years. Wow. Who did Jimmy Buss pass up in the draft last year? Some guy named Okafor.

I'd much rather having Russell than Okafor. Don't need a defensive sieve in the middle.

Mozgov fits their needs better though. If his knee is good, it's not that bad of a signing.

Yes you should - you're not a Lakers fan and that makes you an unwanted troll. We Lakers fans post in here so that we don't have to listen to your shit. Put your shit on their board or the General message board where it belongs

I can't say this about the last two, Randall or Russel (And there is still hope for either, if not both :hope:) but I got this very good feeling about Ingram.

I'll say it now, Ingram will be an All Star, if not a Superstar in this league, before it is all said and done.

Book it!

Oh, you heard it here first!

Well since I now know you're this upset I just might start posting even more in Laker threads, how ya like that huh?:D And don't act like Laker fans (maybe not you) but others don't troll NBA threads doing the same shit. Talking shit about other teams on a sports site (you do realize this is a sports site don't you?) is expected.

Of course, as long as it's within reason when posting on team boards Wamu.

I've seen nothing that you've posted about the Lakers that says you are trolling (Other than your persistence in saying you will)

So IMO, it's all good to take a jab every now and then, and let all roll with the punches as long as it's not below the belt so to speak, however team boards are for the like minded to gather and rejoice or bitch about their team success, struggles or direction, not for fending off trolls.

So have your fun here if you must, but don't take it overboard, and you'll be fine.

:nod:

Go ahead - I've already seen several banned for trolling the Lakers Message Board. I need a good laugh
