No, this is an F**k you to New Orleans for not believing in him.
He was going to beat them in the playoffs no matter how low the fee.
Gotta respect that about him.
Now we need to do the same with Dwight! Let him resurrect his name in the city where it first turned to sh*t... |
There is no frickin way Dwight is in a Laker uniform next year. Shaq has better odds of being on the roster. |
Tell me the team you are putting out there to beat the Warriors.
I hear you complaining but I haven't seen your solution.
Maybe you have a better idea... my mind is open if you know someone else that can neutralize Boogie. |
You're not beating the Warriors--you never were. We were always looking to next year. Unfortunately, it seems we want to "win now" (although the moves we've made don't actually accomplish that) and I'm sure Magic and Pelinka won't be able to hold their wad trading for Kawhi. Lebron will be miserable with this roster. |
We can... they will be the favorites but we can if we get Dwight. No way can Boogie stop Dwight, Bron, BI, Kuzma slashing at him with Rondo and Zo's passes feeding them with pinpoint accuracy.
Boogie will have three fouls by the first quarter every game. |
Dwight? We want someone who can shoot FT...Rondo and Zo's FTs are so  |

Dwight has been getting booed everytime he touches the ball in Staples center since 2013. Why would he come here? And how does he help us? Lebron was one of the big forces getting him off the Olympic team, now he wants him on the Lakers?
This team was the worst 3 point shooting team last season and we've done nothing to get better. No, Rondo's .8 made 3s per game is not an improvement. Signing Dwight would just clog the lane even more.
We really really really need to resign Brook. |

We better lock up Bro Lo right now, he is the best big left on the market
Otherwise, Zubac is probably the starter |

The Boogie damage can be undone if you all can just hold your noses and sign Dwight.
Dwight for one year... to neutralize an injured Boogie.
What is the harm? It's fighting fire with fire. |

We got Lebron, some good support defensive, championship
Experience, etc.
Bravo to Magic and Rob regardless of what some of you think. |
They got Lebron, of course they won. But that just means their other mistakes won't hurt them very much.

No wonder why people make fun of Laker fans. |
Every right to be pissed off. This team has done so much wrong. We just signed Rondo to 9m and let Randle walk allowing Cousins to the warriors. Haven't made the playoffs since 2013. Let Dwight, Pau, Ariza, Odom, and Randle all go to get a combined 1 top 20 protected pick. |

| If anything, Spurs are the ones most screwed by this. Lakers know they’re not beating GSW this year no matter who they get, now they can just safely keep their guys and wait a year for Kawhi to come. |

I was totally down with Brook until this Boogie news. Heck, if we get him I'll still be happy because I like the guy.
But Dwight can actually slow Boogie down. I don't think he could have stopped healthy Boogie... but I'm almost positive he can stop Achilles Boogie. I don't think Brook can. |

Cousins will be rehabbing and might not even play this year. That's why the dude only got $5M.

Cousins market value should really speak volumes to us.
It was reported he wanted a max contract this summer AFTER his injury. The fact that he had to sign the minimum with the only team in the league deep enough to take the blow of him being a shell of himself, or even coming back for the matter tells me a lot. |

| Lakers just lost any chance of winning it all next season. Boogie even at 70% is far better than McGee or Zaza. He's still a bruiser who shoots the 3 well. And for $5M..? This is ridiculous. |

Option #1-Bring back Lopez for 5M

Option #3-Trade Deng, Zu, and 2 1sts for Vucevic
Option #4-Trade Deng, Zu, and 2 1sts for Robin Lopez
Option #5-Start McGee, Zu, or Wagner |
