Can Someone Explain This Clippers Like Curse of the Los Angeles Lakers

[Koolaid_Man]

Something in my soul is giving me a bad vibes about the Lakers fortunes or should I say misfortune. With the recent revelation of how secretly horrible of a human being that Donald Sterling is I'm convinced his NBA luck has suffered all these years because of it....it also begs the question what kind of skeletons is Fredo and Chazz carrying around that has so cursed us....it's clear we're not going to sign a single FA this year or next. We're done until Kobe retires and Fredo & Chazz walks away with their Sterling like curse. Lakers won't be competing again until we start consistently losing and continually drafting good players...that means we're about 5 yrs away from being back in the play-offs...even when Kobe retires we're done for awhile...we need to completely give up on the idea of free agents....we're officially looking up at Bobcats of the NBA....

On the flip side the Spurs success is clearly a result of the basketball gods approval of the Spurs riding the social change wave of having a gay superstar on their team.....

This is how rebuilding works. Its a process that isn't instantaneous. You'll have to go a couple of years without contention because of Kobe's extended contract and miss out on the best players in free agency. This is how it feels to not be spoiled by taking shortcuts with instant results.

Yeah. The Magic weren't good enough that year. I can defend that. They were good enough the next year to beat that team though.

But then..things...took a WINCE.

My work here is done. After witnessing the Spurs win another title,,,,it was just as important to get the message across that the Lakers have fallen mightly and may take decades to rebound. Their fans were filled with grand delusions of landing Calipari or Ollie,,,,landing LeBron, Melo, Love, and Durant,,,imposing their will on the league as they saw fit. Their franchise is crumbling fast and their fans are finally realizing this which leaves me nothing else to do be weep for there are no more worlds to conquer. The bagth haveth crushed them all,,,,

The chickens have finally come home to roost:

"In the 1970s, Sterling got to know Jerry Buss, then a chemist who was also an LA real estate investor. In May 1979, Buss was set to buy the Lakers, but 15 hours before the purchase deadline he was still $2.7 million shy of the needed cash. So he called Sterling, who covered part of the shortfall by buying a group of 11 Santa Monica apartment buildings from Buss. Soon after, the San Diego Clippers were on the block, and Buss suggested his pal buy them. And so in 1981, Sterling acquired the franchise for $12.7 million."

What is comical about the new CBA is that it not only penalizes the Lakers for spending money but it also requires the Clippers to start spending money…Clippers have lived off of Lakers food stamps for decades…Sterling has been voted the worst Team owner time & time again…The recent revelations about his bizarre thought process have been know for decades…How dumb is it to tell Stiviano to not bring Magic to the games, when it is Magic who elevated the NBA to the status that it is today…Before Magic the NBA was rated behind hockey and that was when most people had a 19” TV where you could not even follow the puck…

They started spending money with the move to Staples and especially when Dumbleavy was hired, not the new CBA....

LOL Phoenix and Orlando get 2 of their next 3 first round picks.

Oh crap..they do.

2017 pick to be exact.

[Splits]

2015 first round draft pick to PhoenixL.A. Lakers' 1st round pick to Phoenix protected for selections 1-5 in 2015, 1-3 in 2016 or 1-3 in 2017 or unprotected in 2018


2015 second round draft pick to Orlando
L.A. Lakers' 2015 2nd round pick to Orlando protected for selections 31-40 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then the L.A. Lakers' obligation to Orlando will be extinguished)


2017 first round draft pick to Orlando
If at least two years after the L.A. Lakers conveyed a 1st round pick to Phoenix, then the L.A. Lakers' 1st round pick to Orlando protected for selections 1-5 in 2017 or 1-5 in 2018 or unprotected in 2019; if the L.A. Lakers have not conveyed a 1st round pick to Phoenix by 2017, then the L.A. Lakers will instead convey their 2017 2nd round pick and 2018 2nd round pick to Orlando

And next year's 2nd rounder :lmao Lakers will have no picks next year.

I still can't believe they didn't lottery protect those 1sts, now they can't even tank. Total front office malfeasance.

Bynum was on one leg both times they won. I think he averaged something like 8 and 5 in the playoffs those years. Made little difference. I have a hard time believing his dad and Mitch couldn't find a guy to give em 8 and 5 in the playoffs

Not everything is numbers, squirt.

Bynum left Howard where he found him, dead in the ground. When Perkins fell down in '10 Wallace took one look at Andrew and headed for the officiating.

[MarioSpeedwagon]

yeah, Howard was probably blown away by the 6 points and 3 rebounds he averaged in that playoffs http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bynuman01.html?mobile=false

A long chain of twisted logic.

You can make the case that without the janitor, the Lakers players would be turned off by the human fluids left after one of Kobe's rapes, leading to disgust of players who refuse to play for the Lakers, and thus the Lakers would not be able to win in 09 and 10.

This means that that janitor directly and singlehandedly won two titles for the Lakers.

There's no way Kirbs is going to be onboard with a tankjob in one of his final 2 years, it would further belittle his shrinking legacy. The Lakers have between $28-31m in cap space to field a team which will make a run for the 8 seed. Unless Kirby has another season ending "injury" before December or is entirely washed up, the most likely scenario is missing the playoffs by a couple of games which will result in 0 picks next year.

SO far team has shown no willingness to dip in to long-term cap space. So we will see. I agree Kobe doesnt want us to tank but we just might not be any good.
