Lakers: Lakers made $100 million this season

[midnightpulp]

it all you want. We made moves that should have panned out, just didn't. Can't win it every time. But he made the bold moves the Lakers are known for.

I hope he keeps swinging for the fences.

That's what got you in trouble in the first place.

Shaq, drafting Kobe, Gasol, were all good moves that made sense. Dwight and Nash were desperate. Nash in particular was the worst high profile signing I can remember.

The Lakers need to learn to develop talent.

Why?

Why?

Giving 9 million per year to a 39 year old PG with severe back issues, and one who can't play defense (and we know PG defense has haunted the Lakers for years)?

You watched him in Phoenix the year prior, and Nash has been in collect-a-paycheck mode since '11. DoK warned you. I warned you.

Kobe: 5

the tired old bag Duncan: 5

Which was a worse day for you: 30 January 1968 or 15 June 2014?

I've been blessed, I ain't had it yet.

I hope they develop Randle - we agree there. As far as swinging for the fences, it works. No picks? Buy a 2nd rounder (or 1st - takes two to tango though) - if they are targeting a player they think is worth it. Not worried here.

We'll see mid. Say what you will about MK, but he is very competent, and a salary cap wizard who learned under Logo. Glen Rivers is no MK.

There are many owners who are richer than Dr. Buss was, and his kids are now. The difference? The FO.

Under MK's watch:

1) Shaquisition
2) Fleecing of Hornets for Kobe's draft rights
3) Glen Rice
4) GP and Mailman
5) MVPAU
6) CP3
7) Dwert
8) Nash

Did his moves all result in rangs? No. But if not for injuries we'd be in the hunt. In the end, that's all I ask for as a fan. No reason for me to think we that will change if the opportunity presents itself.

The cable deal must have kicked in, tbh.
