A whole off season of dreaming about Howard/Paul and you have nothing to show for it but a declining roster.
Lakers = 5th seed in the Eastern Conference & 1st Round Exit

Cool story, welsher
Is Jerry West GM of any teams in the league? Get him on the phone, he can throw you another ridiculous trade offer
No more Phil = No more Game 7 of the 2010 Finals or 2002 WCF frauds
Kobe will continue to decline but continue to demand the basketball. No elite player in his prime wants to deal with that kind of crap
So your stuck signing over the hill vets OR inexperienced youngsters looking for a ring
Either way. Kobe finishes his career with 1.5 rings
Newcastle still butthurt after the rimjob Lebron gave him in the ECF ...
I guess non Laker fans can be glad for the moment. The recent trend of top-shelf talent managing to find a way to big markets started years ago in LA, and they're the best at attracting free agents without trying, so they're probably not likely to be down for long. It's almost comical to even use the word "down" to describe a team that has Gasol, Kobe and Bynum on it. It might actually be a good idea to, I don't know, wait until the free agency period starts before putting dirt on the Lakers.

Indeed, his ass is still hemorrhaging.
I would geek out if the Spurs had that roster
They also downgraded at the coaching position...
Cool story bro
Brown will be just fine. The Lakers lacked focus on defense and that is he strong point. Just sit back and watch 17* become a reality!
and that's where the problems begin, disagreements, Kobe wants offense and Brown wants defense.
I guess we shall see. I'm guessing you didn't see all the interviews last season where Kobe said it all depends on how they play D? Of course it could have just been talk but I think he knows what's what. I am looking forward to seeing the changes in the team. PJ was never known to put too much effort into the D.
You kidding, right?
Not at all.
It's funny Bulls fans still have delusions of grandeur about how close their team is too a championship. Last season was a classic honeymoon season for them with a new coach who re-energized them.
They're still built around a PG and have an offense that consists of D-Rose running around in circles. That'll never win in the playoffs.
Then you don't watch much basketball?
He always built strong defensive teams. He never had a problem ripping a new one to whoever was ing up on D.
I never said he didnt have some strong defensive teams. That was because of the players involved. I said he didnt put too much effort into it. It is well do mented that PJ spent very little time practicing and going over the defense. He often turned that part of the game over to asst coaches and many players over the years have commented on how shocked they were at how little he covers it. Do some research.
I actually agree with Cobbler. PJ never emphasized D himself, he left it up to the players as to how much D they wanted to play. The Kobe and Shaq Lakers were never a great defensive team. The Kobe and Pau Lakers became a great defensive team because Kobe started riding his teammates asses to play D. The Bulls woulda been a great defensive team if I was their coach, PJ had very little to do with a team led by Pippen and MJ playing great defensive.
Just in time for your ty posts!
