Melo ain't going to LA. ain't stupid
Can't spin it. They overpaid.
we did what we had to do...there's nothing else out there for them to sign...all we gotta do is dump Nash and Pau and we can sign Melo...
the new CBA will see to it that we can sign decent role players...those roster fillers wont be getting big deals...
we just need to be cheap as and get others to sign for peanuts it always work and we always do
I'm wondering why sign an extension right now? He hasn't played one second for us. And apparently he's still not healthy enough to play. Strange...
if I've taught you guys nothing else remember one thing:
with the 3 billion dollar Time Warner deal Lakers have all the cash to afford going over the luxury tax–way....way over the tax–if and when they choose to....
Yeah right, Hill will want 4-5 mil, Young will want 3-4 mil, Henry will want a couple mil, Pau will want 8-12 mil, and you only have 22 mil in cap space if Nash doesn't retire. You ain't getting Melo to take 15 mil or Pau to take 5 mil.
As far as Kirby goes
To send the proper message to FA's looking to sign...either near or long term...you short change Kobe and he's upset you can forget about even trying to lure anyone let alone keep Kobe....everyone here with the knee jerk reaction don't seem to understand business 101...they're not overly concerned about the cap..in fact they've made a calculated decision that they're going to pay the luxury and repeater tax all to maximize Kobe's last to le years...you don't go into 2014 with Kobe still showing as on the board and available it's sends a message of weakness to friend and foe alike..sure it's a bold move but life is nothing without the gamble...I think Kobe has one more chapter...
is stupid, son. I could see it.
it's not about what they will want it'll be about what they can't get
Per Shelburne, Buss said it was done in good faith to show Kobe how much he's appreciated.
After getting so much heat by signing D'Antoni over Phil, it was Jim's way of showing, look I value loyalty on this franchise.
Condolences on that 2014 Offseason Master Plan tbh.
They can get the money by just going to other teams. They ain't taking less money just because Kirby wants to eat first.
it was the right call...as long as you're willing to pay 100million in taxes which they are willing
yes they will...this season is a testament
if only Fredo valued the Lakers being relevant too tbh.
This also sends a message to CP0's short ass... LA will always belong to Kobe
Yeah. Still chump change honestly.
I wouldn't go that far. If the opportunity presents itself, they'll exceed the cap with the quickness. These are things we know. I just hope they are smart about the players they sign.
Couple of points:
1) Makes perfect short term business sense for the Lakers, zero basketball sense, arguable long-term business sense.
2) Kobe cares about shots, not winning
3) Kobe knows he will only own half of what he has a few years from now, so he is doubling his asking price on anything. Smart move.
4) Laker fans are envying Dr. Buss for being dead.
5) Dr. Buss would rather die than see this mess. Good move.
