-OFFICIAL 2014-2015 LOS ANGELES LAKERS THREAD

[mdot]

I'd trade the late first and maybe the 2nd for Ty Lawson without much hesitation if able to

yeah looks like we are taking a big at 2 if we could get Lawson it would be a come up won't be 28 until the end of the year too.

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

There's no way to get a talent like him at 27 or 34... Ty Lawson is a top 10 point arguably and better than Rondo... I'm contacting Kroenke draft night that's the night teams get vulnerable to lopsided decisions... The Mavs might give up 21 for him then I think we should give up our 2 lates and have Clarkson come off the bench as 6th man

how would yall feel if we acquire love

 

[playmaker88]

Id love it hill would need to go though seeing as how we have Randle ,Love and whoever we pick up in the 2 spot

 

[BDBIID]

Doubt they pick up Hill's option for 9 mil. Think they allocate that money elsewhere.

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

Don't care much for Love, idk but I think Randle could hold that 4 spot down we need to go get a 3, 5, and deepen our bench with shooters and defenders we already have like 4 4's we need help elsewhere

 

[playmaker88]

Shooting is definitely something we need to address.. even in our best days we had people who could make those shots but not many "Shooter" Shooters..Meeks was that dude going forward we need consistency from that spot to build our our team

 

[BDBIID]

Regarding the pick:

Knowing how much Mitch is his own man. The more time passes, I think the decision will be out of KAT/Okafor (whatever big is left) or Russell. Rather than just whatever of the two bigs is left lock like the media is saying.

Workouts will be big.

Man, Jamie Maggio is my baby... I would take her over any chick that has a known name

In LA tonight

Not buying it. Firing Scott after one season is a bad look.

Maybe Thibs as an assistant?

I’ll give you another example. When I got traded to the Lakers in ’97, Kobe Bryant was just a rookie. The dude couldn’t shoot threes. We would play this shooting game every day after practice. It was me, Kobe, Brian Shaw, Mitch Richmond and Kurt Rambis. Kobe would lose every time. We would get to practice the next day and sure enough, Kobe would already be there shooting nothing but threes. Like clockwork, at the end of practice he’d say, “Let’s play the game! I’m ready for you.” And we would beat his ass again.

He would never stop. It was incredible. He practiced until one day, a couple months later, he finally won. If you literally said, “Kobe, I bet you can’t make five in a row by dropping the ball and kicking it in from half court,” that motherfucker would go out there and practice it until he could do it. And that’s what people don’t understand when they talk about champions — when they talk about a winner’s mentality. Kobe’s dedication to the game is unreal. And I mean that in the truest sense … it was literally unbelievable. The common denominator in every championship team is the mentality that Kobe has, and the mentality that Hakeem had with me at that Christmas party. You have to be so obsessed with winning that you pull no punches with your teammates, even when you’re in first place. Even when you’re a defending champ.

Great read posted in the NBA thread the other day

Horry should be in the Hall not because he was a HOF player not at all but he had so many Pivotal moments contributions on teams he should at least be in the basement..

I cant think of to many players who had his impact yet not a HOF caliber player

@ESPNSteinLine: Draft scuttle: Hearing Porzingis not only in play for Philly at No. 3 but now giving Lakers something to ponder at No. 2. Stock rising fast

Do we like this? Want Towns, but looks like he is a lock for number 1.

 

[playmaker88]

Never go full Euro

It'll either be Jahlil (60%) or D'angelo (40%).

I'm blocking out all the other noise from now til then. Smokescreen imo.
