There aren't any realistic moves they could make to win another le, as long as Kobe and his 30 million is on the payroll..
They will attempt to move Pau, but I don't know if any team will bite on him, at this point..
Less white people
Shoot Troy Murphy and Josh McRoberts in the head and make it look like an accident.
I'm not sure why you guys picked up Troy Murphy. Did you not see him on the Celtics last year?I mean, you probably didn't because he rode the bench, but you get my point...
Jim Buss thought he was still playing for Indiana.I'm not sure why you guys picked up Troy Murphy. Did you not see him on the Celtics last year?
Maybe they can add Bdiddy.
I maintained all year non contenders as currently constructed. Need back up SG to limit Kobe's mins like kg not maybe as much as Pop does Tim or Gentry does Nash. Settle on a Offense and a PG to run it pick Blake or Sessions to be the backup let go the other. Add a legit perimeter defender and let go Barnes. Resign hill ... Trade pau
Oh and we need a re or korver type to shoot 3s
Another white guy?
should dump kobe for some 3 pt shooters for bynum.
I hear ya but we need one that can actually shoot rofl
Since Kobe has a no trade clause and Bynum is untouchable, Gasol is their only trade asset. They should look to move him for some perimeter youth to deepen their bench and make the Lakers more athletic overall. Unless they commit to developing Glock and Ebanks, but because the Lakers are in "win now" mode since Kobe is past his prime, I don't see that happening. I think the priority is finding a small forward who can both score and play good defense. Artest looks like his old self at times, but he really is more of a bench player at this stage of his career. Too inconsistent. Balancing a young buck SF (someone like Kawhi Leonard or even Danny Granger) with Artest as his backup would be pretty formidable.
And no, GNSF, I'm not suggesting we consider Leonard for Gasol. Just that the Lakers need a player like him. A young, athletic SF with an upside.
If they smart they figure out a way to beg plead or buy out Bryant to send him in a sign and trade for Williams and blow the whole thing up and start over - 28 million can buy a lot of talent and LAL with Williams, Bynum or Gasol or somehow Howard, Gasol and Williams could be scary good.
More likely it will be Howard for either or both Gasol and Bynum and that may actually be a regression if they had the right coach - Brown is a fine coach in a different environment but his sucking up to Bryant is over the top and he has helped shut down the potential of Sessons and not been able to figure out how to use two bigs - LAL might be better with Gasol and Bynum less on the floor together and developing Hill or adding a quicker alternative PF.
Slim Gasol + 1st# pick for Scola + Parsons + Lowry (assuming Dragic is re-signed) ? Which team says no or is it win-win for both ?
Lakers aren't winning anything with that Rockets package, tbh..
Lots of praying at godvine, tbh
Kobe, on next season resolution:
The Lakers are one of the few teams that can quickly reload and be back in contention any year. They have no problem getting top free agents and making blockbuster trades to upgrade talent.
trade gasol for a lottery pick. best way to rebuild on the fly.
I thought the Troy Murphy signing was going to pay huge dividends. You can have him spread the floor when Pau or Bynum are on the court. In theory it sounded good but I guess not everyone can be Matt Bonner.
I also think the Lakers give up too many first round picks for short term fixes. Right now, its biting them in the ass because Gasol is no longer working out. I think they should have just swallowed Luke and Derek's contracts and retain their first round picks. When was the last time they had a 1st round pick that they ended up keeping? Farmar?
I think Mitch is a great GM but he's too prone to overpaying scrubs. Luke Walton's contract was attrocious. So was Sasha's. McRoberts at 6.8 is a rip off too. He was completely unproven. Steve Blake hasn't paid off either. They need to re-evaluate the way they bring in role players and not rely on mega blockbuster trades.
They're going to have to find a way to move Gasol because Bynum is up for an extension soon. They won't be able to afford both players.
I say trade Kobe to Orlando for Dwight's scrubs and imo both teams will benefit as the Lakers can rebuild and Orlando can move on from the Dwight drama.
sorry to say lakers are ed for years to come
