Official Lakers comic relief thread

As I said last offseason with that 4 team trade don't judge it immediately...

76ers-Bynum played no games for them and probably never will. Lost draft pick and forced to restart. Did get Lotto pick and Holiday emerged only to be moved for Noel and a top 5 protected pick. 3 out of 5


Lakers-Got best player in trade Dwight Howard. Kept Pau, and moved Bynum who seemed discontent there. Barely make postseason, only to get swept and failed to make it back to the WCF for 3rd straight season. Dwight leaves. Lost a draft pick. Forced to play a "lost season" with Pau, Nash, and Kobe (currently injured) 1 out of 5

Nuggets-Traded for Iguadala. Won franchise record 57 games,while Iggy underperformed (a 14 PER) lost in 6 games to GSW. He left after reportly being willing to sign an extension after his initial trade. Their out of a 1st round pick and have nothing to so for it beyond this season. There is a gaping hole on the wing now. 2 out of 5

Magic-Keep books clean and tanked season. Got a solid player at #2 pick in bad draft, Moved Reddick for Harris (former lotto pick) who played well in the later half of last season. Nelson is an asset that teams (cough** Indiana***cough) could use and may get future 1sts in return.Vucevic seems to be the second coming of Shaq on the glass.In postion to be a bottom 5 team this season. Got 3 1st rounders that they can use in the future to potentially move up the draft boards. 5 out of 5

Got Bynum?

Funny if Miami ends up with him, he signs a shitty deal just to prove himself, they get to the Finals or whatever and magically he can collect another big contract.

Interested to hear Nuggets fan take on it...


They weren't gonna do much next season but unless they get another guy on the wing they in trouble.

Galanari out for a few weeks to start the season.

Miller is bound to not be good at some point (I wouldn't bet against him though)

They are a 6 seed

This is a black eye for the Lakers. But Philly is feeling the good karma on this. The reality is that LA had at lot of flaws. Howard would have to have picked loyalty over winning a title to sign with Lakers.

BTW, Jerry is rolling over in his grave over his son's incompetence.

I work with 2 Miami fans they seem convinced they can get him. I would lose it if they did. When he's right he is better than Howard IMO. That would be a really difficult team to match up against. Hope he goes to a bad team with cap space like Dallas or Phoenix & not a playoff team.

It was more of a joke, looking at how much they're over the cap and into luxury tax area they would need to trade away a lot of players with a S&T to get him for anything. I think he'll land in Dallas

I know but GSW had literally no cap and managed to land Iggy. Stranger things have happened. I think he will play on a $7 million 1 year deal and bounce if he looks good.

:rofl

Savor it spurfans, the past year and half may be some of the lowest lows in laker franchise history.

And the funny thing is, it's just as poor a reflection on Kobe as it is on Dwight.

Laker Rockets will be must see when Kobe comes back.
