Anything to get Young gone. Kelly too.

If you guys knew you were gonna need a big why didn't you select Okafor on the draft night, tbh?

If Mitch s around and land Taj...this will be one of the single greatest offseaons in NBA history tbh...

Hibbert, Lou Williams, Brandon Bass, Taj Gibso, with all of our stud rookies WTF man...

Now all we'll need is to fire Bscott and hire Kevin Ollie

If you guys knew you were gonna need a big why didn't you select Okafor on the draft night, tbh?

Because Dangelo is 10x the player..ok head...thats why the Knicks suck so bad..yall dont know how to evaluate talent

Taj, Bass, and Randle are like the same player. I'm not ting on the move, since I think Taj is a solid player, but you're gonna have a log jam at PF (and no, Kool, Randle can't play the 3) with redundant players.

If this happens, Randle might be on the block for a SF, which the Lakers have nothing at right now.

Taj is a good vet player...great defender

Taj can play 3-5

This is what lakerfans are exited about now? Taj Gibson?

Man, the tides have really changed. I remember hating the lakers in 2009 for being a franchise with crazy unfair advantage in free agency.

Lakers is now the knicks of the east.

Taj would be a good pickup

He got beat bad playing SF and C this year.

Maybe this is more about dumping Young, et al than it is acquiring Taj. It just makes no sense with how the Lakers roster currently is.

so far nothing makes sense according to you. what acquisitions WOULD make sense?

[midnightpulp]

Tell me how this move makes sense when you have Randle and Bass?

Kool is wrong about Taj at the 3 or 5. He gets demolished at those positions.

Only thing I can think of is this is about dumping Young.

Good trade for LA

i've always snickered when reading KAM's takes, but this time i legitimately laughed out loud..

He was banged up..but you better hope Mitch dont pull this off..or else yall ed....

[InTheCrust]

seriously though, getting swaggy outta LA is definitely something necessary tbh,,, getting taj is a bonus too,,,

The NBA is all about matchups..Im really not surprised you dont know that yet...

[midnightpulp]

For the Lakers.

Backup center. Small forward. They're ultra thin there, so going after a PF when they already have Randle/Bass is puzzling.

but hibbert didnt make sense according to you

Taj can't matchup with anyone at the 3 or 5. You got (if you get him) a better version of Brandon Bass, so where does this leave Randle?

Teams good at judging a player's ability would probably not offer the dead corpse of Nash 10million a year for three years, or that of Kobe 25 million/yr for two years, tbh.
