Derek Anderson: Lamarcus Is Going To Lakers...

[Buddy Mignon]

I didn't say it... I'm just saying. He was on the radio bragging about the Lakers today.

I can't see it, Luva. He's afraid of his own shadow in Portland, how the Hell would he even get out of bed in Los Angeles? Shit, I couldn't get out of my couch if it was Los Angeles.

He's SA bound.

Yep, he'll play the role for a while to give Media a nice bone to bury, but, in the end he'll go where Pau shoulda went. And the prick will prosper. No more headaches, no more nut,,,he's been bleeding for this caper.

[Buddy Mignon]

Love stays injured.

I'm just reporting the news.

That's the rumor. Mitch said we're going after a max player this year and next. Basically putting the NBA on notice. I heard the NBA is about to go to non-guaranteed contracts. We're going to do some major fucking if that happens.

It wasn't my take, pussy.

[Koolaid_Man]

I have no idea what he's gonna do..but I do know that if he lands in LA Spur fan will go on a crusade about how bad he is and how he sucks :lol

[Koolaid_Man]

If we Land Lamarcus and then Durant with Kobe playing a spot up shooter role we'll be dangerous....

No shit. Their ass cracks are tight as fuck hoping we don't get him.

They shouldn't want to lose Green and Splitter for Aldridge.

[djohn2oo8]

Then.the Lakers would have no bench.

[Malik Hairston]

I don't know why the Lakers are even considering Aldridge, tbh:lol..they're trying to build through a youth movement, not sure why you would add a 30-year old on a max deal when your team is still at least 3 years away from contending IMO..

If you want a veteran presence, you add a guy deeper in the rotation, not as your #1 option..

They should tank 1 more year, which should be really easy with Kobe/Scott still around, get another lottery pick or make a big splash next off-season, fire Scott and get Kobe to retire, and then try to contend with young players..

[Koolaid_Man]

L.A. plans to make Aldridge an offer that's hard to refuse.

The first concrete free agency salvo targeted at LaMarcus Aldridge (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21819/lamarcus-aldridge) this summer might be fired by the Los Angeles Lakers (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/los-angeles-lakers). Mike Bresnahan, writing for the LA Times, reports that Mitch Kupchak and company are offering a pretty penny (http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/la-sp-lakers-bresnahan-20150628-story.html)to the Portland Trail Blazers (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/portland-trail-blazers) star.


All their financial eggs now go into the big-man basket. They want to talk to LaMarcus Aldridge, he wants to listen, and if all goes well for both sides, the four-time All-Star signs a four-year, $80-million deal to be the Lakers' power forward.

Bresnahan offers ancillary reasons that Aldridge might be interested in the deal:


Aldridge already owns a home in Orange County, his initials are tailor-made for the Lakers, and it just so happens that his good plays were rewarded at Portland home games by an audio snippet of Randy Newman's "I Love L.A."



The rest of the article focuses on the relative undesirability of other free agents compared to Aldridge, at least for the Lakers.

:lol His initials are tailor-made for LA.

Congrats to LA. No excuses now - have a top 5 PF, an elite PG, Kobe. and Randle who lost weight..that should be more than enough to compete and shows the power that LA stil has as a destination where people want to play/win.

Might get the 8th seed, tbh..

Portland was a 5 seed and fringe 2nd-round caliber team:

Lillard >>> Russell
Matthews >>> Kobe
Batum > Lakers' SF
Lopez >> Randle

Stotts >> Scott

Could see them getting the 8th seed if everything goes right, but I doubt it..

Agree....but we dont have a coach and we still need a center

If we Land LA...trade Nick Young and bring in Tobias Harris..we're a top 5 team

[Koolaid_Man]

But if we can get Deandre I would keep Nick Young and spread the floor..either way..we're back....:lol

[Shane27]

this made me laugh. Maybe top 5 in the east

[Pelicans78]

LA (the player, not the city) is hot garbage. Good player, but man he's not leading a team anywhere as a go-to-guy.

[Koolaid_Man]

Get it done Mitch!!

[Koolaid_Man]

:lol but why...

Golden State is really the only team to make the case to me..everyone else is just hype

[Double-Up]

It wasn't my take, pussy.

Can you read quotes? The NBA isn't going to non-guaranteed contacts you ignorant fuck. Go back to lakersground with that bullshit.

It's not about leading..its about helping...its my deep desire and intuition that Russell will have Magic Johnson like first season....and you know what that means...

go explain... probably the only thing i can see is that they could add a cornerstone on a cheaper max that would be good value later. But it would throw them into virtual mediocrity. that is mediocrity if they don't do as bad as i think they will even with aldridge.

[Koolaid_Man]

Hey dick for brains..you need a combination of vets and youth...

Kobe and LMA is just the vet presence you need to run with these young bucks....

[Buddy Mignon]

Cowherd thinks LA is shit.

I dont care...I'd sign him...with Dajo passes he'll make LMA look like a Megastar :lol

I'd take him over Love only due to Love being so injury prone. So Clarkson was asked about the addition of Russell. He says... well Kobe better move over to the 3...:lol I like this kids confidence.

In other words I'm not going to the bench...:lol even though Kobe will always be a starter without question...this is a good problem to have because it encourages Jordan to compete with Russell which will only make everyone better...I love seeing cocky and arrogant rookies and both Russell and Jordan are both cocky and confident like both Magic and Kobe were....

[Thread]

^If Kobe was going to move up he'd a done so years ago. I think we'll end up pounding salt.

[Koolaid_Man]

Love cant guard Dwight...LMA can...that's it for me...

Last yr LMA dropped back to back 40 pt games on Dwights head...he can do way more than Love....Love is chicken shit....its why Lebron marginalized his ass...Lebron wouldna had the balls to do that shit to LMA...tbh

When Love left for the Cavs... Minnesota's GM said Love was basically and average player stat padding on a weak team. He won't be back to the West coast. No one is coming from East to West. LMA is the best option even though he's not a leader. Land him and go after another next year and we're good.

We don't have our pick unless it's top 3 ...I don't want him or love for $80 million ...but if its gonna be one rather have Aldridge.

Agreed. Russell is good at P&R. LMA has the best midrange game amongst big men. Could be a lethal pick and pop combo tbh.

[Agloco]

Yep, he'll play the role for a while to give Media a nice bone to bury, but, in the end he'll go where Pau shoulda went. And the prick will prosper. No more headaches, no more nut,,,he's been bleeding for this caper.

And Duncan will get 6 with LMA in the fold. That's gotta be turning your bowels on a deep level Cully.

This is the biggest indictment of laker fandom there is. Even most laker fans can't stand how dumb the avg laker fan is.
