Want to do a forever bet?

You had your chance on the "forever" and you froze like a Popsicle.
Kobe is irrelevant and will be for the rest of his career. Not sure why threads are even made about Him.
Thats what I thought. You don't believe in what you say - you just type like you eat oatmeal.
The Lakers are a .500 team at best.
That's a big improvement though.
No. I gave you two opportunities to extinct me. Instead of doing exactly that, you fell in love with love me.
tee, hee.
, only put two laughing heads your way because I like ya Dale and I know you don't believe that.
We both know the truth of the matter is the Lakers will be lucky to win 40 games. Thats if everything goes great, best case scenario. Your boy doesn't fake an injury half way through the season, Russell and Randall play amazing, Roy Hibbert rediscovers himself etc.
I'll bet the Spurs dont win the West. I'll give you 2 to 1 odds as well.
We're banking on best case scenario just like every other team.

So 40 wins then? Honestly what I described is more of a dream scenario than best case scenario. Because if you say 52-55 wins again you are obviously trolling.
You don't hear me claiming the Spurs will win the West. I saw you say you are not trolling and think LA will win 52+. Do you believe what you type? Or you just puffing out your chest hoping not to get called out?
Do you want to bet on the statement you made? I will even lower it for you: I have LA under 49.5 wins. Want to bet?

Kobe can't carry the team like if it was 5 years ago. He has had two major injurys
in back to back years. As much as he wants, it wont be there. He will have a Sportcenter
night but they wont be regular. Will they still get run, they are a big market team. I predict
that they will end up a 10 seed lotto team again if Kobe gets hurt again. If he plays the whole
year a 9 or a 8.
The Lakers won't make the playoffs. If they do, they will be lucky enough to have the privilege of being swept in the first round by the San Antonio Spurs, just like they were in 2013.
No... I'm saying 50+ wins. You're not taking into account that we tanked last year with a scrub team. Now add Kobe, Bass, Lou, and Hibbert and you can reasonably expect a 30 win increase now that they are not tanking. Clarkson will become a known face in this league this year. Randle and and Russell are expected to contribute as young players. On paper we match up with anyone. With the exception of Kobe we're very young and athletic. Health and chemistry permitted... we make the playoffs and are a threat.
Oh, just squeeze into that 8 hole. Nice & tight.
On paper the Lakers match up with everyone? just what paper are you talking about?
We're young and athletic? Ask Philly how that worked out for them....
Phily has no talent. We have guys that have talent.
Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant believes that his team will "absolutely" make the playoffs this season in the hyper-compe ive Western Conference.
Your record was pretty much the same with or without Kobe, so not sure why you think adding him is some great addition. This is 2015 tosb Kobe, not prime Kobe, when is the last time he finished a season even? Counting on him playing the whole season is hopeful to say the least. Lets look at your other "great" additions. Lou was a sixth man voloumn scorer, Hibbert is a 7 footer who couldn't even average anywhere near double digit rebounds, and Bass is a decent role player, not a game changer my any means.
Of course you forgot to mention lost players, only mentioned new players. You lost Ed Davis who sadly was arguably your best player last year and Jordan Hill who was pretty good on the boards. I feel like them two are more or less a wash with Hibbert and Bass. So you are more or less saying Lou Williams and two rookies are worth 30 wins?
Again I say
Let's put it this way, I'm pissed about us trading away that pick as it's gonna be another lottery season for LA.
Exactly, + every time your Media would get low they could lodge that little gem...in a million ways, with their smug smiles & affecting tones. Can't keep a Phoenix Media down. Even a gaggle of "liars" & "clowns" can't do it.
I'm just flabbergasted you didn't lodge the old tried & true (You'll win 30 game with Kobe playing & 35 games without him playing.) zingaroo. That boiler plate is a staple of SF.Your record was pretty much the same with or without Kobe, so not sure why you think adding him is some great addition.

Meh, I'm not gonna say they will be better or worse with Kobe. Probably a wash with him playing at this point. Also depends which Kobe is playing. There isn't gonna be enough shots to go around this year though between Rapist, Lou, and Swag . Got three huge chuckers on one team. The rest of the team will just be waiting for the rebounds.
