I thought we had a chance to go 2-0. Next we play Denver and that's going to be a really tough challenge.

| Its like mocking someone for walking out of the bathroom with paper on their shoe, while you have tucked your shirt into your underwear. |

No easy games when you are a bad team which we have been for 5 years.

| The words, "Lakers" and "Easy game" should never be used in the same sentence at this point. There are no gimmes in the NBA. |

Threads don't jinx anything. The Lakers are having a lousy stretch of play.
Losing to Phoenix sent a reminder to this fan to to appreciate the good fortune of two of the team's six wins that came against that team. Yipes !
I didn't anticipate the early 20% of the season to wrap so poorly (6-10); last season's journey at this same juncture set the bar at .500 (8-8). I can't recall any LGer forecasting a drop-off for the new group this season.

| I thought we'd beat the Suns and get crushed by the Nuggets. Turns out i was wrong. Hopefully we can win the next three games against the Bulls, Kings, and freefalling Clippers. |

That would be great. We would be 10-10 going into the Warriors game. |

I think Beverly will be full force by then for the clippers
If that's the case I really want to see Lonzo have a nice game as payback |

| If Lopez doesn't step up his game during this brutal stretch then the FO will be fools not to explore a trade market for him. |

That doesn't mean he has a right to score 4 points and not give any effort on D. |

My point is clear, yeah you are right the motivation right now is that he helps us clear cap room if we don’t decide to bring him back, but he needs to step his game if he wants to play here, the Lakers just aren’t gonna tank games just cause they have there eyes sight on 2018 FA, we are trying to win and if our big man isn’t providing anything he Can hit the road. |

So you would like for them to explore trades for Lopez if he doesn't improve.
What are you expecting the offers to be from other teams if he doesn't improve and the Lakers make him available for a trade? |

Clarkson and Lopez for Derrick Favors (exp deal) and Joe Johnson + 1st round pick is something that can work. |
