Not Lakers related but check this out. Could be an 8 footer by the time he reaches the NBA....LOL.

Why I doubt Monty would have been interested in the Lakers if we had called his agent....he prolly going to take a year or 2 off before returning to the League, if he decides to.

Could be a nice retirement package.

I saw that tall dude story. Here is another story about the Lakers potential draft selection considerations coming at the end of this week. Alot of mention about guards and forwards. Little mention of pure Centers.

These douchebag pundits who stoke the fires of these dead stories should be bitch-slapped. Young ain't worth DRuss, Reaves, Hachimura and three number ones that potentially may be the asking price for him (or a combo thereof). I am pretty sure the notion is dead and these little bitches keep trying to resurrect it just to fill their deadlines.

Trae Young’s cryptic social media post after Lakers hired JJ Redick

What did the hourglass emoji that Trae Young posted on social media mean?

Of course, if talk of the Young deal is resurrected, then the Murray pipe dream has to be close behind. This is just irritating because Murray ain't worth the excessive asking price either. Our cap space is also suspect at this point.

Is Dejounte Murray the backcourt upgrade the Lakers need in order to become contenders?

So I guess it is now official. Maybe!

Report: Redick agrees to contract to become Lakers' next coach

The Lakers reportedly have hired former NBA sharpshooter, podcast host and ESPN broadcaster JJ Redick to be their next head coach.

Redick has the chances of being within the average. It looks as though there were just as many successes as there were failures!

I'd like to see Rondo and Cassell on Redick's assistant coach staff.

The second round options could be in the mix, but I doubt those 1st rounders. It seems to me that the Lakers are in on Holland, Carter , DaSilva and Holmes. DaSilva or Holmes at 17, the other two probably need a trade up. DaSilva is getting Jaquez comps, but is somewhat capped for upside with his lack of elite athleticism. Game ready though.

I think the triangle is a bit static for what he has talked about. He's mentioned off ball movement as a key component moving forward and more scripted offense.

Cap space shouldn't be an issue. Because of the new cap rules, the Lakers will have to send out more salary than they bring back due to being over the 1st apron. If DLo opts in, the Murray deal becomes a little easier, but probably requires a 3rd team. At least there are teams that are known to be at least interested in DLo compared to the trade deadline.

Yep, this was part of the childish retort of Jeanie Buss who claimed that the Logo said bad things about Phil Jackson when he was coaching the Lakers. That story has never been proven but Jerry West HIRED Phil Jackson as the Lakers HC when Jerry West was the GM.

lost all respect of Jeanie Buss when she did this and other low life bullshit acts that essentially drove Jerry West away from the Lakers for good.

The reason the Lakers have been struggling since Phil left for New York is due to the idiot Buss siblings who run the Lakers organization and none of them really know what the hell they are doing. Thus the need for consultants like Kurt Rambis and that ridiculously outta touch FO.

Report: Jeanie Buss took away Jerry West’s Lakers season tickets

Even after doing so much to build the Lakers into the gold standard of basketball, Jerry West wasn't treated well by owner Jeanie Buss.
