Yeah, I mean, athleticism. Wooo. You didn't rang at all, but at least you were athletic. Is that why you think your future is bright now? Because you might be athletic in 3 years after Kirby's contracts only take 1/4th of your team's cap room?![]()

That's worth $16/year?![]()
Lakerfan talking about overpaying players. If the kettle was any blacker, it would have a singularity at the center.
You're a dumbass. SMH![]()
I imagine that has got to be worth at least $16,000/year![]()
No response that involves a basketball take or any good information about who the Lakers are going to get, just name calling. Predictable from someone who has absolutely no logical rebuttal.![]()
You should. The Buss family aren't multibillionaires like Allen, Ballmer, Cuban, etc. The Lakers are their only source of profit. Their operating profit last season was 66 million, so saving even 20 million is big for them. And then when Kobe retires, there goes that huge merchandise revenue stream.

And now that the Clippers have a billionaire sugar daddy, will be a contender for at least the next 5 years, and a growing brand behind the marketability of Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, they're going to be the more attractive Los Angeles destination for free agents who desire the Hollywood lifestyle.
Brace yourself for a long drought. It's coming.
I answered your post about me not remembering the 90s. Then you moved the goal post. Hence me calling you a dumbass.![]()
CP3 happened right after the lockout. LDS owners stepped in for basketball reasons.
MK learned from Logo. I'm not sweating the CBA, like I said.
Edit: 2012 article?![]()
So, me pointing out that you guys were terrible throughout the 90s and didn't rang once is moving the goalpost? OK chief.If that's what you consider being a worthy threat in the coming decade, yeah, I'm still gonna take my Spurs and watch your "athletic" teams fizzle in round 1.

How is that not still relevant considering it was the last time the Lakers were at all relevant?![]()
2013 - Westbrook's injury = Spurs Finals birth
2014 - Ibaka's injury = Spurs Finals birth

Jaime omitting the Perkins injury
What's your argument for not sweating the CBA? All the owners, even the filthy rich ones, don't want to pay too much luxury tax. When the Lakers broke the bank with their 100 million dollar payroll in 2012, they had to pay 30 million in luxury taxes, and that was before the new luxury tax structure. No owner worth his salt wants to give away 30 million in profit for nothing. The Buss family has no other revenue stream to subsidize themselves with. Prokorov, Ballmer, Arinson, they can lose 20 or 30 million and not feel it like Buss. If the Lakers hit the 100 million dollar payroll mark again, they'll have pay 80 million in luxury taxes. Buss can't afford that. The Lakers pulled in 66 million in profit last year, which includes the TV deal, merchandise sales, gate receipts, etc.
That 2012 article is more than relevant.
lol and you say I move the goalposts
It's really affecting my enjoyment of this le though, seriously.![]()
Lkrfan stooping so low he decided to compare futures....
We got Kawhi, you got swaggy p. Owned per par.
