I've always thought they were contenders past few seasons. But this last season I just see them as being on their last leg.
Harris would be a perfect addition to this young crop of Lakers, let them all grow and develop together. We would have 4 positions filled with young talent. Sure we may have swung out on the top tier FA this year AGAIN but we are primed to make some noise next year. Harris/ROLO or Davis FTW
DJ will not be our #1 or #2 option on offense...not on this team with Kobe, Randle, Clarkson and Russell. He'd be a number three option at best. If he were only happy protecting the rim...
Lakers can't get caught up in all this, there is still good players out there, there is no reason why we still can't make some big improvements to our team.
I rather not get a SF because that would mean benching Clarkson, who was our best player last season.
Lie to him! Tell him he's the #1 option and Kobe is coming off the bench! Once he's in a jersey we can tell him the truth.
If they dont wanna come here screw them Sign the ones that aren't afraid of the bright lights & big city
Rondo (8) / JC (845k) Russell (4.2) / Brown (845k) Kobe (25) / Young (5.2) / Brown (500k) Randle (3.1) / Kelly (1.7)/ Nance (1) Monroe (15) / Black (845k) / Sacre (1) Best chance at regaining some hope. I don't think Harris has ever been linked to us? And Sacre being on the team just pisses me off. No reason to bring him back. Trade Kelly as well.
That makes our bench more potent He can lead the bench like ginobili Plus that means more rest for kobe
What exactly was their pitch to Lma? Why did he decline? What part of their pitch is out of touch or not appeasing to players?
This happened with Dwight as well. Just damage control by LMA's camp so that it doesn't look like he started the process of rubbing the Lakers name through the mud.
