Its stuff like this that pisses me off We're already under a microscope because we're in a big market and then teams complain aboit every little thing we do. Even when things arent going well we still get sh*t from other teams its ridiculous
It's one thing to target us ok...but we will get off the canvas and punch them in the mouth. I take back what I said a few posts back.
Yeah. It seemed weird we would delete them. At least go out with a bit of class and dignity you know...
abeer3, #5, I think maybe the Anthony Davis contract just blew the Kobe one out of the water. That, and all these teams throwing money at decent players, the stars know they're gonna get paid by any franchise that wants them now. 10 mil for Shumpert? 22 for Love? 52/4 year deal for Chandler at his age? 20 mil per for Brook Lopez? The league has lost its mind. Well, actually, overpaying has always been a problem, the new CBA was supposed to stop that, and that lasted like one offseason.
THere is probably a literal fight going on at ESPN for who gets to write their annual "The Lakers stink and its all Kobe's fault" article
I think we'll have to wait til summer league but for our sake i hope he realizes all his potential I really believe that if our rookies play well more FA will be inclined to sign here and we'll finally be back in a position where We're the ones doing the rejections I can already picture agents calling mitch saying so and so is interested in playing for you and mitch just clicks just because he can
Lakers are going to need Upshaw to go Whiteside on the league this year...and they have to hope no one tries to sign him away from LA if he plays well in summer league. SL doesn't mean he is committed to LAL for the season, can sign anywhere.
If we give an aging broken down wade a multi year deal thats worse than striking out on the top guns That would suck but with the FO idk what to think anymore
Seriously. Are all these teams STILL that upset at us being good for 30 years? Are all these GM's and owners guys that grew up watching their teams lose to us, as well as former players that lost to us? There are some serious grudges being held here. The last CBA was designed to hurt us, owners cried like babies about the Chris Paul trade and got it taken away from us, and now it seems like teams are conspiring against us, and the media is happy to jump on the dogpile.
Disagree. Wade still holds value within NBA circles, we need that for next summer. Going into another summer of FA meetings empty handed will get everyone fired.
