Lakers: Seriously Laker Fans, What Should You Be Hopeful For this Season?

[ezau]

First, your team's chances of winning a ring is the same as Jerry Buss coming back from the dead. Although Kobe will come back, expect him to clank more shots than ever before. Lastly, Jim is throwing away his dead dad's money for the next 20 to 30 years. If the Lakers even make it to the playoffs, they'll get skunked again for the second straight year. If I were a Laker fan, which thankfully I'm not, I wouldn't watch my team until Jim decides to give the keys to Jeanie or Phil, tbh.

There's not much to look forward for Laker fans this year, the draft is the only thing to look forward to right now. That being said, what kind of future does Spusfan have to look forward to during the post Duncan/Pop years? You must ask yourself how long it will take to draft another top top 10 player and a handful of 2nd round gems because we know what luck San Antonio has in free agency.

So, Timmy plays like complete , but the team would be medicore without him? Lakerfan logic.

I see some saltiness in here, tbh

Lakerfans should just cuckold each other. That way you'll at least feel good with the occasional reach around instead of tearing your eyes out when you're team implodes.

Im not sure whats a worst curse right now, being a fallen great franchise with no chance of winning for the next few years or being the best team every year and not winning a ring and inevitably fading into oblivion as a franchise when Jim retires.

No way the league allows the Lakers to be mediocore. If Stern has to fix every single game in the league we will rise again and drink the blood of this league

As long as Jim is at the helm, your franchise is ed. Jerry Buss won't be walking through that door again.

I honestly dont think so. You dont understand, Lakers are a HUGE part of LA. Honestly, no franchise faces more pressure to win than the Lakers. This franchise wont fade into oblivion, its been well over 30 years and they keep finding a way.

Lets not forget Jerry himself went on 10+ year droughts several times.

One thing Spurs fans dont understand is how difficult rebuilding is. If theres anything I respect alot is the fact theyve been able to keep Pop for this long. We havent seen the Spurs in rebuild mode in forever. It will be inevitable once Jim and Parker r gone along with Ginosbleed.

actually I'd say there is a fair amount of pressure to win in SA, since Spurs are a HUGE part of SA. I don't think the rebuilding effort will be that bad, not like some trainwrecks you see in the league.

Yes but if Spurs dissapear the NBA will be just fine, no one gives a about the spurs. When you go to New York the majority of jerseys you see there are Laker jerseys. Same in Atlanta, Golden State, and Sacramento. The Lakers own the league.

The Lakers own the league.

Failing to win a single playoff game last year doesn't bode well for a team that 'owns the league'.

Yes, currently, but that could change with years of inep ude. Plus new CBA won't make it as easy for Lakers to survive bad contracts, though they'll still spend a lot. That's partly what the new CBA is about, more parity and spreading the wealth around.

Been here before as a franchise. Lakers epically failed in 06 after being up 3-1 and got swept in 07 by Nash and toni. We'll be back, but I think this time it might take a long while.

It's false hope to think the Lakers wont be back on top eventually due to the new CBA. I hate Jim Buss, but in his time he was able to acquire Chris Paul (its not his fault Stern denied the trade) for Gasol and Odom, two fading peices. Afterwards, he acquired Howard and Nash.

The man is an arrogant prick but the Lakers downfall (as midnightpulp suggested a few months ago) was delaying the rebuilding process until it blew up on the organizations face since 2012.

1. Get Kobe back
2. Utilize Jordan Hill
3. Hope Blake Mamba will continue his stellar game
4. Wes Johnson, Swaggy P and X will carry the Lakers when Kobe's not feelin it
5. Meeks, see # 3
6. Nash will give it a go, one last time and regain 75% of his effectiveness
7. In D'antoni, we trust
8. With Kobe back injectin his team with inspiration, Gasol wakes from a coma and plays like a man
9. Lakers claims the 8th seed
10. Lakers becomes the most dangerous 8th seed in history beating SAS in 7


Or realistically,

1. Kobe plays like a TOSB
2. Nash never comes back
3. Meeks, Farmar comes back to earth, showing why they're bench players to begin with
4. Gasol, Xavier packaged in a 3 way trade. Lakers somehow got Melo or Rondo in that package
5. Playing on one leg, Kob still passes Jaundice in the All Time Scoring list
6. Nice one Kobe, but Lakers misses the playoffs
7. Mike D gets the pink slip in the off season
8. Lakers wins the #1 pick in the lottery. Kobe doesn't want to rebuild. So, LA Trades pick to Minnesota for Kevin Love , Minny also sends Shabazz Muhammad back to LA.
