That is the Lakers now - scraps of junk to assist other NBA powers to gain prominence steps away from the lowly Lakers! 2nd round picks for fucks sake! Make a fucking trade Mitch! Get someone to put butts in seats.
KobeMVP888 wrote:Why even bother posting such a ridiculous scenario, 3Peat? Is there something about the mentality of NBA superstars today that you don't understand? He is more likely to take the minimum in Cleveland for one year than agree to any long term deal with a bottom feeder like the Lakers. His biological clock is ticking just like Durant's and he will desperately seek rings, probably starting in San Antonio where he can join Aldridge and Leonard on his quest for #1, and that is only because the LeBrons and Dubs will be capped out (not that they can't easily find a way to make more room). The whole thing has become a fucking joke. You are just going to have to suffer with the Lakers for about 4-5 seasons until our young players hit their prime.
As for the Calderon deal, very smart. Great locker room teammate, too. We got two picks in the deal that we can pawn off on someone else in the future and he is a nice compliment to Lou Williams in what looks like an interesting second unit. Lou and Calderon can score, as can Brandon Ingram. If Lou Williams and Jose Calderon were on the Warriors last season instead of Livingston and Barbosa, I don't see much of a difference. With Nance and Ingram in the front court there's some nice length, and add Black or Randle to that mix and you have an interesting small ball lineup. So while it is easy to mock out the FO for this acquisition, it's an expiring contract plus two picks for nothing that makes a ton of sense.

Giving up Russell and Randle for ANYONE is suicidal and a slap in the face to the seasons we've endured to earn those top prospects. 3Peat, you know players need time to develop and blossom, and nobody knows how much potential the youngsters have vs. everybody in the league knows what Westbrook is about. Have faith and see a little deeper into this rebuild and climb up the ladder!! When you and I started watching the Lakers, they were a couple seasons removed from drafting Magic and stuck in years of mediocre results. When Magic left in the early 90s we had to endure years of mediocrity until Phil, Shaq and Kobe matured. And the three years between late 05 and early 08 were nothing nice either.
We're on some new improved shit, my comrade! All I care about is what those Green Meanies are doing, fuck every other franchise.

It's like people blaming the country's woes on President hwuyat like the inferno he walked into following George W Bush's disastrous presidency didn't exist. So not only am I comfortable where we are at, I have put a reasonable time table on it as opposed the the absurd expectation that rookies and second and third year players are going to blend into something special in one season. HAVING SAID THAT, I would like to see fresh blood in the front office to get rid of the stigma that appears to exist there, whether warranted or not.
