Should We Pass On Simmons For Buddy?

You should just pass on trying to be an NBA team. You fuckers are garbage. I hope the fans demand their money back from Time Warner.

Nah, Simmons is the real deal. If we can't get him, Ingram should be our guy. Dude will make D'Angelo's life easier tbh.

Gonna be traded.

Notice how he played tonight after the trade rumors?

The Lakers should move Andre Miller 0.5 after the All Star game, where his stock will be high following his Rising Stars appearance.

[Mitch]

Simmons has shown to be the best candidate so far, he'll probably go #1 unless something changes about him.

Would you give up the number 1 pick for Durant in a sign and trade or somehow using it to get Westbrook?

I'd take any of those.. two guys. Just means we get another asset, and the sting of the Steve Nash trade gets erased completely, as we keep our high draft picks following his departure. :toast

Luck.

Persons (Spurs 6th man missed the entire season), Robinson (missed 75 games), Elliott (missed 42 games), and Charles Smith (Spurs starting PF missing 73 games).

An injury plague season couldn't have happen at a more perfect time for the Spurs.

Only pussies & assholes play the injury card.

[Killakobe81]

I like Buddy not sure he deserves place over Simmons or Ingram or some experts say even Dunn. But he is nice every game I saw he has delivered no denying that ...in fact made a thread talking about his play vs. Kansas several weeks back .... But, people always forget to factor age when making these type of comparisons. That is why I laugh when Reggie Miller says he thinks Nance will be better long term than Randle or Russ he might prove to be but he is 3 years older so he should right now ... just like Hield should be playing better this year than Simmons or Ingram... he has at least 2 more years experience at a high level than they do. The real comparison, is their freshman years and Simmons Kills him there. I do have some concerns and doubts about Simmons. But passing him over for Hield would be the mistake these dumb ass Spur fans think we did last year in taking Russ over Oak ...

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

I'm not playing anything, it's the truth. Shit, I even knew the Spurs would suck when Person, then Smith then Robinson all went down at the start of that season. At the time, I didn't follow College BB that much so I didn't know who Duncan was.

Spurs got lucky, and that's that.

No it's not. The dude is asking why the Spurs suck in 96-97. Fact is 3 starters and the Spurs 6th man missed most of the season. That's my explanation. What's yours.

Just for the record, the Spurs record the year before 59-23, the year after 56-26. So you tell me, why the anomaly.

Buddy is by far the best guard coming out. He's NBA ready right now. I think Nance will be very nice, but Randle is going to explode once he settles down. He misses a ton of chip shots and that comes from playing too fast. Simmons will not be able to play his still in the NBA. He's got to show a consistent jumper.There are some studs coming out this season.

What stupid fans don't understand, and that seem to include most of the laker fans who frequent ST, is that tanking doesn't really yield many results in and of itself.

In order to really improve with high draft picks, you have to:
1) Thank properly
2) Get the #1 pick (Luck)
3) Develop that talent, which includes coaching, getting the right organization (management)
4) Develop a winning culture, which is hard to do for a team bad enough to win the #1 pick (management)
5) Get the right players to surround that pick for championships (management)

The lakers, right now, have bad management, and even with great picks, they are not going to make it.

Look at all the teams that got those rare superstars with the #1 pick in the last 40 years.

1979 - Magic went #1, but he went to the Lakers, which was a winning organization with great management back then. They won 5 titles
1984 - Lottery was created because of Olajuwon. They didn't get a ring out of it for the longest time, and finally got two rings after management getting their crap together.
1985 - First lottery used to get Ewing. They didn't get a ring out of it.
1987 - Robinson was drafted, the team didn't get a ring until Duncan join (see later)
1992 - Shaq was drafted. Orlando didn't get a ring out of it, despite getting the #1 pick again the next year
1997 - Duncan. The Spurs already had Robinson, and management finally woke up and put together a team with a winning culture. Spurs got 5 titles out of it
2003 - Lebron. Cavs didn't get anything out of it, waiting to see if they can in the second run
2007 - Oden. Injured. Bust. Portland didn't get anything out of it.

Overall, tanking doesn't work at all without management actually putting in work.

Even if what you say makes sense ... we suck, so we have no choice but to embrace the tank. And if we gonna tank, might as well tank hard!!!!! and if we did change coach/management they still need assets to work with ...

[midnightpulp]

Tanking is useless even if you don't have a solid player development structure. And the Lakers are the worst in the league at player development. When Jerry West was there, it was different, but morons like Mitch and Jim have no idea what to do on that end.

[ambchang]

Sure, tank all you want, but that isn't going to make a difference in terms of winning a championship UNLESS it is being done in tandem with good management, which is pretty obvious that the lakers team currently does not have.

So what you will do is either waste the talent of a GOAT level talent (see Lebron with the Cavs, Robinson, Moses, most of Dirk's career), and limit their growth, or you are looking at having that talent on rental and bolt to a team with better management the first time he got.

That's a shame, and it's sociopathic.

No one disagrees with what you are saying ...about the front-office needing a kick in the ass. The way Pau got dicked around Post CP3 trade alone was straight clown city. Then the bumbling coach hire and fires. THE EXTENSION ... My point is, as fan, what would YOU suggest? I am not giving up on my team. I like the Warriors but I wont switch squads ... that is more of a loser mind-set than supporting a tank. I already stated how I express my dissatisfaction with the team ... by not purchasing merch and or tix. Not a whole lot more I can do as a fan. Rooting for the tanking to accumulate assets, even if they will be mismanaged ...is preferred and makes sense over winning meaningless games AND still missing the playoffs and surrendering a pick. The coach and FO can be replaced. Losing our pick leaves us empty-handed on a key asset.

These threads you and Mid make on the subject though true in it's analysis of the problem ... makes no sense from a standpoint of a real fan. Am I supposed to quit on my team? Or instead, storm the office at Staples and stage a coup and force the Buss family to turn over Operational control to me? :wakeup

If they did, I would fire Byron. Play only the young players (Kobe sits for the most part too) send Hibbert and Young packing for a stick of gum and force Mitch to give me a realistic plan for a turn around in 3 years or less. I would hire a bright young coach with the best assistants money can buy (no cap on those) and force the rookies to attend a "voluntary boot camp" at the UCLA men's gym all summer. But I have no say ...Im not even a ticket holder anymore. :depressed ...But I can write a "letter" like they did in White chicks. maybe that would work ...:rollin

As a fan there is nothing you can do.

Whether the lakers tank or not makes no difference. You should be rooting for management or ownership change, which is as much as you can do in you wishing for a 1st pick.

Here's some RT for you, all clowning aside:

Let me say what you just said about any other product or service:

The local grocery store has been shit for the last 3 years. They keep making the same stupid mistakes and keep hiring upper level management that makes things worse. They've openly admitted they aren't interested in getting better right now, just in pushing their legacy product to sunset. What should I do? I'm not going to stop shopping there.

This girl I've always loved has been kicking me to the curb for the last 3 years. She's happy as long as I buy a lot of stuff for her or give her money, but she's openly stated she's not interested in pursuing anything lasting with me. She won't have sex with me and won't even talk to me unless I offer to buy her something. What should I do? I'm not going to stop giving her my money.

This series I've been watching for the last 3 years has been going the wrong way I think. It's gotten worse every year. The writers have stated they aren't going to put any effort into this season as they are more interested in their other project that's nearing the series finale. I'm not going to stop watching. What should I do?

Answer: You can't do anything. You've already said you're on the hook for life. You know you have no say in how anything runs and your dollar is all you have, but you've committed to them without getting anything from them in return. Just lay there and enjoy the rape.

Jerry Buss is dead. He was the Lakers. You're now clinging to the past, to hopes that it will be revived. You like saying you have the most rings vs 28 other teams. You're not getting anything for your loyalty though. Basketball is about entertainment. Watching an old man parade around getting applause from the crowd and losing games isn't my idea of entertainment. I don't even watch my team if they are up by 30 after 3, much less if they openly state they don't give a shit about this season. It doesn't mean I don't like the Spurs, I just wouldn't like those Spurs.
