Lakers: Lakers and Chris Kaman agree to terms on 1 year deal

[Thread]

Why so glum, Lakerfan? Kobe'll teach him how to win championships!!!

If Artest can learn anything is possible.

Kool reduce to rooting for this white man after all that "white man don't know the game" talk

He did exclude my honkey ass from the blanket.

[DPG21920]

No he didn't. He called you everything under the Sun just last week due to your basketball takes during the Dwight saga.

[Trill Clinton]

one year deal...most important part.

That's it. And that's all.

Confirm, Kool.

[DPG21920]

You two were arguing in plain sight for all to see and he basically called you an idiot by disagreeing so violently with you.

[jeebus]

Kobe will kill himself

Good.

[Katherine Robinson]

We will this year ... Im afraid. We may not have a choice.

Lakers are in dire need of a new franchise player with Kobe's looming departure, tanking could possibly expedite the roster reload which will happen sans Kobe & Gasol's salary.

[Michael Jordan.]

Not sure if you really believe that or not. But like it or not, the Lakers are really the only NBA franchise that will never go through too long a dry spell. In their franchise history, the longest they went without at least getting out of the first round of the playoffs is 3 seasons. Now there have been championship droughts, but they'll reload sooner rather than later, and much sooner than any other NBA team would in a similar situation. That's just what happens with the Lakers.

Jerry Buss's Lakers would have never begged an insignificant FA to stay like they did now.

Had nothing to do with my skin pigment. I'm telling you he excluded my white ass from that separate equation the other day.

[D-Wade]

Knowing him from fantasy, Kaman can score but he also takes a lot of shots. I was surprised at how inefficient he was as a big. Guys like Wade and Tony have better efficiency in the paint than he does it seems like. Not a terrible pickup by any means but he's not great either.

That is even worse if true. That means he thought you were an idiot on merit alone.

You're never wrongPERIOD

[DPG21920]

I am wrong sometimes and I put my money where my mouth is and pay up for being wrong when I am.

I am above reproach in this regard.

Insignificant? He is the best centeri the NBA. It was Kobe holding him back to hear some tell it, tbh.

Please. You & DUNCAN are never wrongPERIOD

[DPG21920]

Well, I just admitted I have been wrong so that doesn't make any sense. You just know very little about basketball and get your panties in a wad when someone you don't like (DPG) calls you on your crap. I just can't let it go. That much is true.

That has nothing to do with my post.

Oh really? You posted about how the Lakers never go through a dry spell and always reload. These aren't the same Lakers run by the same management. And no one wants to play for Mike D'antoni.

That lack of a dry spell... that's in their entire 65 or so year history. Jerry Buss didn't own the Lakers since 1948. Despite not having the championship success under Buss, the Lakers didn't hit long dry spells of mediocrity or being bad in the 1960s or 70s either. The Lakers draw talent. Not just because of Los Angeles, but now also because of its history and tradition. It doesn't matter if no one wants to play for D'Antoni because if D'Antoni doesn't have success soon, he'll be gone quickly. When Kobe's done, they'll find another franchise star somehow. They always do.

Suggesting they'll go through a decade long stretch of being a borderline lottery team is just not realistic. Maybe it takes more than 3 years to get back to being an elite team, but staying a mediocre or bad team for 10 years? Won't happen.

what exactly do you expect them to do to become relevant again? let's say in 3 years
