If Lakers win tonight, they will be only 4 games out of the playoffs.
Pau refusing to allow the Lakers to tank, willing his d-league squad per par

How is that working out for you?
Not even the great MVPau could win this one.
MVPau is a terrible shtick. The guy is literally one of the worst defensive players of all time at this stage.
He could only hold them off for 2.5 quarters. Admirable effort imo
25 points 10 boards 5 assists, and 3 blocks and he's still getting
17 assists.
MVPau dong whats right for his team, running the tank machine
Kobe doing his share by staying out of games. Although he could chuck the Lakers way to a lottery pick, he isn't risking anything like fluke good shooting games and 10+ assist games.
MVPau putting up good fantasy stats while also helping his team tank
a true MVP, imo.

Great thread son (see sig).
smh at Lakers tanking, now following teams like Bobcats and Cavaliers. I thought Lakers didn't rebuild, they reloaded. son, dem dark clouds over yonder.
Great thread son (see sig).
They have to huddle in with the rest after those salary cap balls were clipped tbh
Difficult task ahead for MVPau without his sidekick Xavier Henry, tbh...
Agree, though they still have some wiggle room since it's not a hard cap, but it definitely ain't like it used to be.
Just wait when the real Mamba Blake makes his return. We going to the playoffs

- If the Lakers don't tank, that means they are trying to contend
- If they are contending (at least on paper), that means they pay luxury taxes
- If they pay luxury taxes, that means revenue sharing for small market teams like the Spurs
- They run the risk of paying a hefty repeater luxury tax
- Why do that with this roster? It makes no sense.
OTOH, tanking for the Lakers means the following:
- The Lakers will most likely land a high draft pick. Why you ask?
- Stern. He knows he F
- Look at Nawlins. They lost their franchise player (CP3). Now they got another one in AD - via #1 overall pick.
- Lakers get to (potentially) draft a highly talented impact player
- This impact will be on a cheap rookie contract which does 2 things
- Increases our overall talent. You need talent, chemistry and luck (health) to win in this league
- Gives Fred
- Makes the Lakers younger and more athletic
- Which also makes the Lakers attractive to future FAs. We already have a great location. If we have cap space? It's
- No revenue sharing for leaching teams that sell playoff frontcourt seats for $2.99 and a free Pepsi
I'm in the minority as a Laker Fan (for precisely the reasons you stated), but looking at the new CBA and how it is designed to keep small market teams afloat, it's the right thing to do. Especially since we ain't winning jack this year anyway. Might as well prepare for the future...just like the Spurs did in 1996... with the 1st overall pick of the 1997 draft, the Spurs select...
Mexicans aren't minorities in the Laker fan base tbh
