Lakers: true or false: lakers will do everything in their power to tank this season

[Bynumite]

At least we won't beg anyone to stay.

Well, Jim's already on his knees *cough* got *cough*, so begging would be a natural next step tbh.

You're future is dim at best. You have the user name of someone who was run out of town, and your team is irrelevant nonetheless. You're pretty much relegated to talking about sucking .

Collecting regular season les until Jim retires and playing decades of lottery ball after that is not that good either tbh.

You can tell us about that next season, tbh...

[Bynumite]

So what's it gonna be, Seattle Spursonics or back to Dallas Chaparrals after Jim retires?

[ElNono]

Hopefully Jim keeps over-spending in awful talent and subsidizing the San Antonio Spurs...

^ Won't matter if you guys give up 5 point leads with 28 seconds to go in a championship deciding game.


Until that changes, 5>4, Kobe over Duncan, son.

^ Won't matter if you keep not winning a single game in the playoffs

Until that changes, Swept son

Agree with all that, but before Dr Buss passed, it seemed the storm was only going to be around until Kirby decided to call it quits, because his salary, while it made the team money, was simply a choke-hold against acquiring solid talent.

But now the ascension of Jim puts the expiration date on mediocrity on stand by. You have to add that while going deep in the luxury tax was no problem when Dr Buss was around, now it's extremely prohibitive.

Obviously, there will be more CBA negotiations in the future, but these times are not like Dr Buss times.

The first and most important thing that needs to and WILL happen (I predict at some point this season) is the Buss family overthrowing Jim

[Arnold Toht]

^ We can be swept as many times as possible. Won't do a damned thing to 5-4, Kobe over Duncan.


YOU, however? Oh boy. You're in for some deep if you're fine with missing game tying shots in the final minute of game 7. WHILE DOWN 5-4 IN THE COUNT.

[ElNono]

^ You keep on getting Swept. Won't do a damned thing to 7-5, Horry over Kobe.

YOU, however? We're going to keep reminding you that WE didn't let you win a single playoff game.

[Arnold Toht]

^ Kerr has 5.

Oh, my. El....

[ElNono]

^ fixed... and Swept

I don't see it. It was Dr Buss' will... not this soon.
