There the most spoiled fans ever.
It's laughably bad and if ORL fans were smart, they would not show up to any games this year and make ORL pay for how inept they are.
There the most spoiled fans ever.
Mavericks dream offseason. So much for the end of Dirk's career.
Hear,hear!!!
Lakers fans deserve nothing.
Your kidding right?
i don't understand why the nuggets facilitated this trade. sure they get a little bit better, but they just created another monster they have to play every playoffs. no chance in they will be able to get past the lakers. why even better your team if you make your conference rival even stronger? there's no point, they will still be a second round exit.
Da-White Howard in tha post dawg
Stunned - why do NBA teams bend over backward to help the Lakers like this? Pop better start playing TD and Splitter massive minutes together (something he's neglected to do for 2 years). Dwight and Pau - I guess TD gets Howard and Splitter gets to chase Gasol on the perimeter. I can see the Nash pick n roll with Pau and his alley oops to DH now.
Kobe won't even have to work hard with every team trying to contend with Dwight. It'll seem like the Olympics where he out enjoying himself watching tennis and swimming while all the other non-USA basketball athletes have to concentrate so hard on their sport that they can't afford to be spectators.
While this trade is clearly 200% bull and the NBA is obviously rigged to be this way, it's not all doom and gloom for Spurs fans. I think people are either underrating Bynum or overrating Howard because Howard isn't as huge of an upgrade as people are implying.
Not to mention he's still recovering from back surgery (something which is very serious no matter how well the surgery went) and he might not be quite the same.
Nash is a fossil and got burned by our third string PG in his last game as a Sun. Kobe is flirting with irrelevancy and Gasol ceased to find basketball important.
The Spurs on the otherhand have only begun to scratch the surface of Leonard's talent, the big three are still around and still very good, Mills will probably have the best season of his career, and Pop might even surprise us with some Splitter and Duncan plays.
Don't lose hope, wait for the season to start.
Lakers have agreed to a 2 year deal with Jodie Meeks according to RealGM.
Lakers get Jodie Meeks on a 2 year deal as well it seems. Very solid pick up.
Yep, Meeks is a good addition. In a team with a lot of very strong players, a great shooter like him will help a lot.
Lakers have a decent bench with Blake, Meeks, Ebanks, Jamison and Hill.
some of you need to stop crying about "stern getting what he wants"
if he really wanted this they wouldn't have vetoed the paul trade... its not stern. its the way the nba works with the soft cap. big market teams like the lakers have advantages. its not stern, its the nba
It was this way long before David Stern came along. The Celtics didn't win 11 out of 13 les because they had strong drafts.
But most here were happy the spurs are coming back with the same team. Like the league was going to stand still and teams like the Lakers were not going to reload.
This Lakers team is a monster,........ in 2009.
Age, injuries, and poor perimeter defense will be the biggest problem for this team. They are primed to be ousted by a jump shooting, lower seed. On offense, teams will go at Nash. On defense, they will foul Howard to keep the offense out of sync. I also will be shocked if Nash can make it through the entire season. Gasol will be lost in the shuffle. The final question is how will they convince Kobe to take less than 20 contested shots a game?
they'll have one contending year tops. other than Howard, that team's pretty old, and slow
Plus Earl Clark
Earl Clark is the sleeper of this whole deal.
It was obvious Stern was to send them either CP3 or Howard tbh . . .
Dwight's going to get hacked even moreso than before.
But looks like the West is ed, unless Dwight and Nash's bad backs catch up to them
