Some thoughts on Lakers off season.

*Hate seeing Pau go but it's the best thing for him and for the Lakers.

*Glad to see we didn't overpay for that fat worthless POS Carmelo.

*Jeremy Lin, WTF?  Expiring contract and will be gone next year.

*Kobe = Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst.

*Jordan Hill is a quality player, glad we resigned him.  His hustle is going to be needed.

*Swaggy P will be able to score a few points for us like last year.  Nothing spectacular.

*Steve Nash is done.  As much as I love him he's dead weight.  I hope he proves me wrong.

*Julius Randle = unknown what he'll be able to give us.

*I hope they don't sign Boozer although they will probably try.

*2014-15 season = 1 more year of sucking ass and losing a lot of games.

nobody wants to play with kobe.  He's a dick.  he belittles teammates in front of the camera, and will snitch on their marital infidelity.  And he can't play well anymore. 

When Kobe does retire, players will come to LA

That's all total bullshit.  The team is rebuilding after yet another run of titles.  They have no coach, a crap roster, and new untested ownership.  That is why free agents aren't in a hurry to come to LA.

Dwight Howard didn't want to play with Kobe but that was because Dwight is a pussy who wants to clown around instead of focus on his job.  This bullshit about "nobody want's to play with Kobe" is just the most recent in a long line of bogus, weak, phony criticisms that fans of other players like MJ or Lebron use to belittle Kobe and not give him the respect he's due.  It's a strawman argument and anyone who falls for this ruse is a fucking idiot.

Byron is a good coach.  The problem is this roster needs a miracle in order to win more than 25 or 30 games.

They will be just good enough to lose the top 5 protected first round pick they traded to Phoenix in next years draft.

Rebuilding this team is going to take a while.  There is no getting around that.  I like Byron though.

Whats the possibility that Kobe walks after this year (especially if he has a good season)

Do you think he pulls a Lebron, and tries to go to a winner for his last year or two?

No way.  I think he sees the writing on the wall.  Lakers aren't winning this year or next.  He's well paid, and he's just going to do his best to prove he can still play at a high level and retire as one of the best ever.  Kobe doesn't chase rings, rings chase Kobe.

He got rid of so many good young players while coaching in New Orleans. Not good moves at all.

I don't see the Spurs losing the title this year, unless they get hit with injuries.

Who will challenge them?

JR Smith is a clown.  I wouldn't want him on my team either.  The Lakers have a competent GM in Mitch Kupchak so I think we'll be fine in that regard.

Has This Homo Not seen kobe play  ??? ???





http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/magic-johnson---if-i-don-t-see-another-three-pointer-from-a-laker-team--i-ll-be-happy--203448268.html


Magic Johnson: 'If I don't see another 3-pointer from a Laker team, I'll be happy.






During the 1990-91 season, a campaign that saw the Los Angeles Lakers ride a fifth-ranked offense all the way to the NBA Finals, Magic Johnson and Byron Scott led the team in attempting 250 and 219 3-pointers, respectively. No other Laker even broke triple digits in triples attempts, as the aging Laker backcourt relied more and more on the perimeter bombs to contribute.

It would be the last season the two would play together, as Johnson retired the next October after being diagnosed with HIV, and Scott went on to a respected journeyman career as a 3-point specialist. Both eventually returned to the Lakers for one final NBA season – Magic in 1996, Scott the next season – with Magic continuing to rely on his push shot from outside the arc, and Scott taking nearly half his attempts from long range.

This is why it was more than a little curious that Magic would offer a particularly nasty take on the shot that has served him so well, in talking up Scott’s recent hire as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.



"The team is better than what we had last season, because we have more guys who can do more things than just shoot 3-pointers," said Johnson.  "If I don't see another 3-pointer from a Laker team, I'll be happy."
Now, that last line about never seeing another trey thrown up by a member of his beloved team might be a throwaway joke, but Magic has taken his anti-Mike D’Antoni crusade to all-time heights.


D’Antoni should not have been hired by the Lakers in 2012. The Lakers’ front office should not have attempted to build a philosophy that resembled Steve Nash and D’Antoni’s former Phoenix Suns squads, as the franchise should have made a better attempt to work around the low-post stylings of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol. It’s just fine to criticize both the hire and D’Antoni’s work, as we all have, without looking tacky at best and downright mean at worst.




The Lakers will be better this year, because Kobe Bean Bryant will be there this year. Even if he can’t help but work in a diminished state, he’s Kobe. Don’t count out Kobe.

The Lakers won’t take as many 3-pointers next year because Scott won’t replicate D’Antoni’s high-end pace, which inflates raw numbers, and specialist Jodie Meeks (who saved the Lakers at times last year) signed with Detroit, but they’ll still fire away. Nick Young has been retained by the team, Bryant will shoot from long range and point guard Jeremy Lin shot just as many 3-pointers per minute last year as former Laker point man Kendall Marshall. A returning Steve Nash relies on the shot quite a bit as well.

And frankly, outside of the return of Kobe, who are these “guys who can do more things?”

Grabbing a solid lottery selection in Julius Randle was nice, and the much-maligned Carlos Boozer may have a bounce-back season in Los Angeles, but those are clear downgrades from Pau Gasol; even with Gasol’s injury history. Lin is better than Marshall, but he’s not a knockout, and expecting some exceptional growth from Nick Young as a player after he gets back from his summer out with Iggy Azalea and firing 30-footers at the Drew League seems a bit much.

From there it seems like Magic is expecting quite a lot from Kobe, which is fine, and a steep upgrade as his favorite team moves from Mike D’Antoni to Byron Scott.

That’s an iffy one, even if D’Antoni was a poor fit for Howard, Gasol and eventually Bryant.

Judging coaches by raw won-loss totals is always just as iffy, but Scott does have over more than 100 more losses than wins as a coach, and he’s coming off three seasons in Cleveland that were disappointing even by rebuilding standards. There is a chance his Princeton-inspired musings on offense could do good things for offense-only types like Bryant, Nash, Young, Lin and Boozer, but by and large this roster still looks like a bit of a tire fire.

And only different because Magic Johnson’s former 3-point buddy is coaching it, as opposed to the guy he never liked.

We hope Magic gets over the Mike D’Antoni era eventually enough.

He's 100% right.  Last couple years they had an aging team and most of their best players played in the post.  So what do they decide to do?  Let's run and shoot threes.  WTF?  The coach, the system, the entire way they went about building the team was ass backwards.  I know there was a lot of injuries but they took almost every good player completely out of what they do best.  It was total chaos.   

*Nash (when he actually played) was playing off the ball.

*Kobe was essentially running point.

*Gasol was shooting threes and they had him coming off the bench for while.

40 is the over/under of games played this year.  Lakers lucky to win 30 this year
