[Koolaid_Man]

Man I hope this is true..like Mortimer "We're back" :lol


Per Steve DelVecchio of Larry Brown Sports, Stephen A. Smith reported on an episode of ESPN's First Take that sources revealed to him Durant's desire to sign with the Lakers.

I dont buy it, but heard about that yesterday. They said the same about LMA, and look where he went ...

[Koolaid_Man]

I dont buy it, but heard about that yesterday. They said the same about LMA, and look where he went ...

LMA was sent by the Spurs to fuck with the Lakers. Make no mistake they already had a wink and a nod agreement..why do I say that? Because he was supposedly interested in the Lakers but turned off by their lack of analytics...now think about that....what nikka do you know that is actually interested in Analytics...LMA is no honor student he's just a run of the mill jock..only interested in Monkey balling.....it was complete hog wash from the start...Pop and nem did this to lean on us for the Gasol trade that netted us 2 more....besides why would he want to interview with us when he knew we didn't have good analytics on our side with the shit season we had..nothing was looking up for us when he came to interview with us....so he was a plant from the get go...

..I think Durant will see how well we play and see if Kobe has anything left in the tank. If he does then Durant will come to LA if things pan out like Luva has said they would....

Durant has a brand and if we make the playoffs he will end up being that missing piece .. we got the size down low already we just need Durant and a healthy Kobe..with the young guys that would take us over the top of the Spurs and give us a very bright future. ...:toast

[Mikeanaro]

Back to be bums? Durant is done man he is a nice stat padder, now Anthony Davis would be a great we are back to the orange stocks company.

Durant is done but LMA is not...:lmao yea ok....Durant is doing the same thing Lebron did....priming himself for an exit from a boring town....Durant would shine in LA

[Koolaid_Man]

Durant -SF
KOBE -SG
Lou Williams
CLARKSON
SWAGGY P
RANDLE
BIG HIBBERT

that's better than the Spurs...we just need a fucking coach

Lebron didnt primed himself with a Jones fracture, he only juiced up a bit, LMA is a sexy beast, believe me after Kobe retires Lakers can rebuild like they did in the past, Durant is a bad choice to start with.

Actually, LMA was an honors student in high school - a member of the National Honor Society and the Student-Athlete of the year in the DISD.

DISD? LOL, shitty school district ...not saying he isn't smart but DISD is shit on by Plano, Allen, Prosper and especially Frisco. Teachers come running and parents lie to be in Frisco school district.

[DPG21920]

If Kobe still wants to play next year there will be no Durant. People will continue to spurn LA until Kobe leaves.

[Mark Celibate]

^ It may work the opposite way imho. Durant is used to being the beta male and only in LA (with Kobe still playing) would he not be seen as the #1 guy.

[DPG21920]

But if he's ok with being a beta, why would he leave Westbrook for a broken down version of Westbrook? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Not sure if this team makes the playoffs.
But if you remove LMA, Tim and Kawhi from the Spurs then perhaps Lakers would be better.....meh, remove Manu and Porker also just to be sure.

[Mark Celibate]

But if he's ok with being a beta, why would he leave Westbrook for a broken down version of Westbrook? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Because people all expect him rather than Westbrook to be the alpha. If he joins LA he would safely and comfortably settle in the role of #2 banana, at least Lakers fans wouldn't want him to be the alpha guy of this team as long as Kobe is still playing.

[Reck]

Every players now wants to troll the Lakers. None wants to play for them. Not even broken down ass Nash. :lol

Kool,
Wake the fuck up man. Durant might wind up in LA especially if Nike, the networks, and the league office want him there. But no fucking possible way is he going there if Kobe is sill on that team.

[UZER]

This is media stirring it up just like lebron to NY a few years back. They want so desperately for the lakers to be good again...but Kobe just not letting that happen. :lol

Good enough to get him to college though

Good enough to get him to college though

HUH? when you damn near 7 foot and are literate you are going to college. Not sure what you are getting at. The fact he was an honors student is a kudos to him but lets not act as though he went to Harvard prep ...

Competition matters. When I was in HS every week before our tack meets we used to look at the times from the smaller states and laugh. I Was probably the 3rd best sprinter ( 2nd best 400) on my track team which went to city and state (where we got our ass kicked by Dorsey LASalle etc.) Any member of that same relay team including me could have transferred to ANY school in North Dakota, IOWA etc. and won the state meet. Success is success but who you beat does matter.

At UCLA almost every others person I met graduated with honors or were top of their class but you can tell the one's that were from shitty districts. I was a smart kid went to one of the best middle/HS school in LAUSD ...but that districts sucks too. I was lucky to go to a good Law/government magnet school but I bet the one ALdridge went to wasnt nowhere as good as that. Again not hating on LMA, but just saying ...and why does this matter? I remember Kobe fans talking about his SAT score wgaf?

Note: I will say overall though I think public schools in Texas in the suburbs are better than most in California. However DISD is just as shitty as the inner city school's in L.A. ...

He was good enough to go to college, that was all. Don't have to be so sensitive about it.

What was Kobe's SAT score anyways? What is considered high? I never took SAT as I am not in the US, but I heard that thing isn't that tough. I took the GMAT though.

We're going to be a matchup nightmare with as many ball handlers on this team. At any given time we'll have 4 players on the floor that can create their own shot. This team will be much better than the back2back Kobe team when we had Pussy Pau, Luke, Sasha, Fartmar, and Ariza. Man... when I think about how Kobe led those scrubs to a title it amazes me. Niggas think Kobe is washed up... we'll see.

Saving face so he doesnt become hated like D12 and LeBRONZE tbh. I doubt he wants to come to the LAkers but it's a great negotiation tactic for Durant. Scare the Western Conference about going to LA and have guys like Mark Cuban shit themselves into signing him. It's a smart business move but no he's not coming to LA.

Durant to LA doesnt make sense for a few years...we need to build some pieces first. Rebuild ffs already...we got a piece here and there but we need more

Like I said I have them on a three year clock. If all 3 of Randle, Clarkson and Russell can develop enough to be a solid #2, #3 and # 4 on legit contender then we are half way home. But I dont give a shit what these Spur fans will tell you ...you still need a star. We arent getting Durant and he may be damaged goods anyway same for Russ. No poin in paying max money for guys who already gave their best years to some other team.

Lakers hopefully miss playoff and jump back in to the top 3. draft a SF or center and then in two more years they should be legit. Stop wishing on a star develop some talent and eventually a star will come ...it just wont be Durant.

Well said,

in another dimension it would have made so much sense. Phil Jackson comes back 2 years ago, Kobe retires, Phil helps D12 mature into a great player like he always does and we sign KD and peices around him and go on to win a championship.

My only concern and the reason why Spur fans and Laker haters are laughing at us and rightfully so is Jim Buss is a moron. I know it's really hard to run a franchise, I couldnt do it but my God this guy definitely cannot do it.

I think the Buss stuff is overstated. He may be a moron but Mitch is running the Lakers. The recent missteps is at his feet. People especially Laker fans need to stop giving Mitch praise for picks like Clarkson but then blaming "fredo" for the Kobe extension. IF you dont trust Buss then you dont trust Mitch and firing Buss while leaving Mitch at the wheel is taking the keys from from the alcoholic and giving it to the crackhead. I trust Mitch. All i need is for Jeanie and Jim to stop fighting and let Mitch and his staff (Ryan west etc.) work. And for chrissakes get Ollie or some other young legit coach or send a Brinks truck after RC and steal him from the Mavs.

Sorry "just miss" is what I meant. The hopeful was for getting in the top 3 genius, the pick is protected there.. btw, brother you can speak in absolutes but I cant say "expect"? :lol You are allowed to predict the future but I cannot?

Gonna Love when Lakers are bottom 12 of lottery but jump all these teams back in to the top 3 the butthurt will be blissful.

Since the pick is top 3 protected and some of you here have us pegged as the worst team in the West with our antiquated coach, cancerous chucker and bust rookie and 2nd year Power forward ...how do we not keep our pick? That doesn't make any sense ...

Because even being the worst team in the West doesn't mean you're the worst team period. Theres a terrible Eastern Conference you are competing with too. Lakers should be 5-10 wins better than last year. Just enough to lose their pick IMO.

[21209]

Durant's chances of signing with the Wizards are much greater than they are going to the Lakers.

They have the pieces he can build with.

I know that's what you were counting on last year, how did that work out for you? :lol We jumped last year I think we have a good chance to jump again this year. Either way still have to give up a pick sooner or later if it's this year so be it ... but that is what I am "hoping" for never said it would happen.

Love how much the SPur fans care about the Lakers even when we are "down" it's awesome. Again not sure why I caused so much backlash. I dont think saying the Spurs wont without Timmy or another transcendant star would be so controversial. Some of you fools are in worse denial than Laker fans. Spurs need to win in the next two years ...it could be a long time before they win again Duncan means that much to the Spurs.

It's akin to me saying even With Bill B that Patriots wont win a SB without Brady until they find another elite QB. they have Gronk, a good defense. But they still aint winning. Have teams like the Seahawks and Ravens won with less than stellar QB play? of course. Even Ben sucked in the first Steelers SB he won.

But if I could choose building around Brady/Aikman/Montana/rodgers etc. I would choose that over building around the Legion of Boom defense and Wilson ...

Same in hoops give me Shaq/Kobe/Tim/Mj/Lebron I will figure out the rest ...

Worked out fine for me :lol. My team is still reasonably considered a contender while your team is headed for a lottery 3-peat? Is this serious trash talking :lol?

Just because you "jumped" last year doesn't at all make it a "good chance" this year :lol. I don't think you understand the draft odds and probabilities. If the Lakers win 40 games, there is very little chance they jump up. Very little.

You aren't making any sense. If you believe LA will be a contender after Kobe you have to believe the Spurs will be too. Better management, coach and young players.

I wasnt talking lottery trash. My point was you and many of your flunkys wanted us to give the pick up we did not.

Hold on gotta stop to laugh ... :lol 40 games?!

You missed the boat as usual. Again what does the Spurs not winning post duncan, have to do with the Lakers? Two separate teams two separate markets. For the record I think the spurs will be contenders before the Lakers because you do have the better organization and better mature pieces. Not sure what these stellar young pieces are most of the key Spurs are vets... Oh wait Kyle anderson is about to wreck shop ...GO BRUINS!!!but doesnt mean you will ring.

Being a contender is what the Rox, Clipps, Bulls are. that is what the Spurs will be post Duncan. Winning a chip is like Spurs/Warriors/Heat the past four years ... that requires Lebron/Tim unless you are the Warriors. And who knows maybe Curry will prove to be that great. But this isnt about them it's about the Spurs post Tim and my opinion.

SO in case you missed it i will end it like this ...

If the spurs do not win a title before Duncan leaves they will not win won with Aldridge or Kiwi as their best player. I said it. I could be wrong. I like Kiwi wish him well but that is what I think and feel.

IF either guys proves me wrong feel free to bump. I said the same about Harden and Dwight and I was worried about Harden last year ...but he failed just when I needed him to. Maybe they still prove me wrong but I doubt it.

Honestly I can't help feeling the same way. Even with Kawhi's finals MVP and tremendous upside, I can't place him as a superstar yet. I can't help wondering if Lamarcus coming in might hamper Kawhi's offensive learning with all the touches he demands. With Lamarcus handling big touches offensively and Kawhi locking down the defensive end, is that enough? Duncan is an all-time talent on defense and as a leader, and having that as the big man anchoring the paint has been such a huge part of the Spurs since he's been here. Even at his age, Duncan plays arguably the largest role on the team in terms of team defense. Lamarcus and Kawhi are great, but at least at this point, it's difficult to see the Spurs as best-in-league without Duncan. At least until Kawhi proves that night in, night out he can be a dominant force, which really doesn't seem like that big of a reach for him given how much he's improved so quickly.

Duncan is an all-time talent on defense and as a leader, and having that as the big man anchoring the paint has been such a huge part of the Spurs since he's been here. Even at his age, Duncan plays arguably the largest role on the team in terms of team defense. Lamarcus and Kawhi are great, but at least at this point, it's difficult to see the Spurs as best-in-league without Duncan. At least until Kawhi proves that night in, night out he can be a dominant force, which really doesn't seem like that big of a reach for him given how much he's improved so quickly.

He looked hood working with team USA i think hos upside is a scottie pippen type. Hof is posdible but leading a title team is not likely. Being Pippen is no knock on Kiwi

I think the Buss stuff is overstated. He may be a moron but Mitch is running the Lakers. The recent missteps is at his feet. People especially Laker fans need to stop giving Mitch praise for picks like Clarkson but then blaming "fredo" for the Kobe extension. IF you dont trust Buss then you dont trust Mitch and firing Buss while leaving Mitch at the wheel is taking the keys from from the alcoholic and giving it to the crackhead. I trust Mitch. All i need is for Jeanie and Jim to stop fighting and let Mitch and his staff (Ryan west etc.) work. And for chrissakes get Ollie or some other young legit coach or send a Brinks truck after RC and steal him from the Mavs.
Ryan West? Didn't know Chaz went by an alias these days

Once Kirby is done, Lakers can start rebuilding.

Laker fans so badly want to get out of sucking and not making the playoffs. So they added Roy Hibbert and Ron Artest, they may have a better season that last year but in the West I can't see that team making the 2015-2016 NBA playoffs. Kobe may have a good season but it probably won't be enough for them. Durant is a pipedream right now.

No Okafor. No chance at Durant.
