You don't have to defend anything, the fact is you didn't start with the Lakers

I never defend my fandom.

Its my religion.

I'm not sure how Culburn's fanhood never comes into question. If these allegations are true, then he basically epitomizes everything wrong with sports fans.

If an NBA forum fanhood audit were to take place, I have a feeling Culburn would be found wanting.

If Cousins plays that hard all year, Sacremento is going to be tough.

Mehh Thorton is the goods but cousins should of dominated us, he had little impact until late when the Lakers were worn down. He has game, but I hate his mental make-up.

[Pelicans78]

Thornton is their best player. However he and Evans aren't a good mix in the backcourt and Jimmer is terrible. They need a solid PG like Udrih. Cousins has upside, but I don' think he will be great or even very good.

Yes, you've covered my page with that malarkey.

Ya little cutie, you.

I tell you what, I heard rumors of a Pau for Love trade ...Rubio and Pau are close, in fact I hear Pau (and his brother) helped encourage him a bit to come over.

We would get smaller and Love's post game is no where near Pau's but I could get why we would consider we need to get younger even if we scarifice some wins.

But Love is only restricted next season, so Kahn could force Love to play it out ...but if Pau was added and Williams develops they are looking at a really nice squad. Heck they stand pat they are intriguing but they lack a post threat. Key is resigning Love long-term...if not they need to get good pieces for him.

Getting Love for Gasol is a step back. Come on, that'd only leave you Bynum in the inside. That's not consistency, that's lunacy (cause Bynum is terrible).
Now, if you get D-Will... with what? Bynum?

Lakers need to do something they've never ever done before... Draft well, get a promising gun (that stays healthy), get a few good steals in the 2nd rounds, and hope for the best. All this, or wait till Kobe's contract is over.

The years with PJax in charge finally had it's due: PJax can't develope talent, nor raise young players, and after so many years, that took it's toll.

Marcus Thornton is a friggin problem. That is all.

The Toll

Kobe: 5

tired old bag Duncan: 4

[Spur_Fanatic]

As good as PJax is, nurturing talent is not one of his skills.

Don't be butthurt.

I agree. Mj developed Scottie ... Kobe pretty much developed himself ...

PJ was great at 5 things:

1. Managing egos
2. Utilizing role players (kerr, Paxson, Fisher, horry, Kerr)
3. Handling the media
4. Never caoching in panic mode
5. Milking the most out of past their prime vets: (Ron Harper, Cartwright)

Developing rookies not so much ...

[Killakobe81]

And I didnt say Gasol for Love was a great swap, just saying I get the need for getting younger. Current cast got swept. Salary cap limited our ability to add to that overpriced core. Spurfanatic is right, we paid the price of having a team that won 2 out 3 Finals ...
We couldnt break that team up (like the Mavs) we let it ride won back to back before the wheels fell off ...

[Giuseppe]

...they ain't off yet. There is only 3 lug studs instead of five though on some of the wheels. , I've driven like that off & on for over 40 years.
