You've always held the most cement of heads.
Along with the garish and vulgar posters plastered on Los Angeles buildings and mobile billboards the acquisition of Swaggy is a bitter reminder of what was lost thru the death of the old man. You think it will go on forever, life, but, it does not. It stops. And there is a change then for us all.

LMA is 30 and we are offering him 20 mil a year? Idk how i feel
about that, in all honesty is rather give that money to Jordan.
Only because we know he won't take it, Whites. We're safe.
Just hold on to the money until somebody surfaces. We'll know. No sense in throwing good money after bad.
Your full of wisdom cub.
Explain Kobe's last deal with regards to basketball
It was too much. There. Are u happy?
For the umpteenth time? No thanks, Deeps. You never "heard" me obviously because your mind is made up.
I agree but Gasol is not going anywhere.
Time Warner: Hey Jimbo... I know you guys suck right now... but do you think you can keep Kobe around?
Jimbo: Let me get back to you on that.
Jimbo: Hey Kobe... here's a 48 million dollar check for the next two years... just show up and play a game or two... make a tweet here and there.
Kobe: Sure!
Jimbo: Hey Time Warner... what's my cut for keeping Kobe around?
Time Warner: Three billion... is that ok?
Jimbo: Hey Jeannie... we just got gifted 3 billion and we don't have to share any with the rest of the league.
Jeannie: Good boy.
The point is - Kobe's deal goes directly against the narrative Thread is pitching. He's hedging because of what missing out means. It's why the OP has that in the tweet and what many others have discussed.
Dispite what Thread is preaching, it doesn't jive with what the FO has done and is doing. They are going after FA, many of which "don't deserve" money. It's not a dog and pony show. If they miss, it's not because they didn't want it - its because things have changed.
The damn thing about it is, it will work out better too. It will force LA to adjust to the new world. It will also prevent them from making the mistake of going after a max guy now that isn't worth it to them.

Lakers unsure if Kobe should participate in Aldrige pitch after Howard debacle
due to the new cba every player thinks he is worth it. Lakers are going to throw crazy cash at anyone who is somewhat respectable because it's a players market. (This is all opinion I might add). Especially with the cap space going up, it's going to be a blood bath. But I hear ya.
Thank you Cully don't buy DPGs bull I don't think this year of free agency will change ...not a true difference maker available and all the teams with space enough to chase more than one fish pretty much suck. And I hope Aldridge stalls Kiwis development as a star ...he worries me more than Aldridge.
Of course you show the season ticket holders activity of course if a big name says he wants to consider you ...you host them to do otherwise is stupid. I just think you overstate the importance of free agency draft and trades us how we built our le teams ...
Not for us. San Antonio can get straightened out if Aldridge signs on. Transcends them immediately back to supremacy.
Us? We'll just have to keep sluggin' along with '10 drifting further out to sea.
You're too high on Aldrige, IMO. If we lose Green, Splitter and maybe Gino in the process? I don't see supremacy there.
Green would be a loss, definitely, but, Splitter is pedestrian. And you won't physically miss Manu. And by the playoffs he'll be forgotten except in a legendary fashion. He is a drag on your team.
It's losing the sum of the parts more than the individuals that I think is concerning. Never been a fan of LMA's game, tbh... He's not a Howard type of loser, but he's too down the rabbit hole to suddenly grow some testosterone...
I want to hear from your mouth.....;-) how excited are you about this...
LMA, Lakers are a perfect fit for you, go there, for the good of basketball.
LMA is going to be a got and sign with the Spurs...i would prefer Deandre even though he's a loser...we need a defensive presence....if we cant DA then a front court of Greg Monroe and Ed Davis would actually be very good..infact...Greg Monroe at Center and Ed Davis at PF is probably a lethal defensive combination with all of our youth and speed....if we Land Greg Monroe it will offset you guys landing LMA who's only an offensive player.....
Do it mitch....if you cant get DA then Monroe and resign Ed Davis....
