Ummmm, I'm a HUGE fan of the Splash Brothers even though they rough up my team on the regular.

Bogut is a good center when Healthy.

But, he hasn't been healthy in a decade.

He is not better than Howard, Asik, Marc Gasol.

He might not even be better than DeAndre Jordan who led the NbA in rebounding.


F'ing stupid

I'm curious if kobe will at some point ask for a trade.

Maybe he sticks it out sees who lakers attempt to get next season. Can't imagine he sticks around on bad teams with few years he has left

Few years left? He's done, stick a fork in him.

I dunno couple of fluke injuries aren't enough for me to throw in towel on him. I think still good chance he can put up 27+ points a game

The Lakers did what the plan has been and it hasn't changed. They went after the 2 big dogs in the current FA. I don't think any Lakers fans or the Lakers FO thought they'd get either one, but it was encouraging that they were one of very few teams that Lebron's agent would even meet with and that they spent a few days as the #1 threat to the Knicks for 'Melo.

Now, they have been signing players who should be fun to watch, to deals that will maintain cap flexibility for the future and they got a draft pick out of it.

As for Kobe, he has said that the FO gave it their best shot and that's all that he can ask. The Lakers summer is as salvaged as it's likely to be. I'm sure Kobe will get frustrated from time to time during the season and will say/tweet things that his haters will have fun with, but end of the day, the Lakers went all out and he knows that.




You know your team much better then I do, but from the outside looking in, I disagree.

James obviously wasn't coming.
I'm not saying with certainty that Anthony wasn't, but it was at least highly unlikely.
If anything, after his meeting, he should have been given a 48-72 hour window to commit or you guys move on.

This wasn't the summer to try to go all for the Lakers. It was realistically near impossible with Kobe's 48M/2 in the way.

Not at all trying to make this a Heat/ Lakers thing, but I think you guys should have spent your time time trying to recruit 2-3 Deng type salary players on 2 year deals.

I've explained my opinion several times on why I felt that Gasol was out the door.

IMO, with a bit more vision these last 2 weeks, you could have had a better roster and still kept your options wide open for 2016, and or possibly adding Love next year.

The NBA has announced that, inspired by the World Cup, all overtime games in the NBA Finals will be decided by a game of HORSE.

He came to the pros from HS, has played 18 seasons and a lot of playoff games too. I'm not optimistic abt him hving much left.
