    Sell the farm for DeMarcus. Sign LMA. Idk guys, not sure what we are even doing at this point.

    One hand, I understand the slow rebuild, on the other hand it looks like having stars are the way to rebuild. At this point, future is looking rough.

    If they aren't going into the meeting without a plan of action, they better just stay at home. That's cool they got a 2nd meeting. Now go out and get RoLo, Koufus, a DJ commitment.........DO SOMETHING TO PEAK HIS INTEREST.

    It is nice to know we are getting a second meeting, but I can't help but feel like this LMA trying to make amends for bad mouthing us to the press. Still don't like our chances.

    I don't see the downside here. This is not "we are so desperate" this is "wow we thought we were on the same page, but I guess not, let's give it another try".

    This is what a GOOD salesman would do. Come at it again from a different angle. You might not get the sale, but at least get on the same page and get some respect back.

    Just the fact that he's listening is a GOOD sign. All those positive people, where you at? @TIME @ElginTheGreat why am I doing your job here? :D :D :D :D

    To us....or maybe another center? Why would we waste our time otherwise?

    Why would LaMarcus agree if he thought we were a s*** show? This has to be a good sign.........

    Yeah. Even with the second meeting we need to be making moves. We should be walking in there with a plan and showing Aldridge just how we are going to get the team back in contention

    Either this is Aldridge and his people trying to mend fences OR the Lakers have a plan.

    I'm not sure what to believe anymore. A year ago, I'd say plan. Right now, I'm thinking this is some ego massaging.

    Maybe it's Koufos? No one has heard from him all summer long, maybe the Lakers put a call in there?

    Or worse: maybe the Lakers are going to him with a plan to trade for COUSINS???

    Dundunduuuuuuuuuun :D :D :D :D :D

    Im surprised the LMA situation is dragging this long. I thought he would've signed with SAS soon. Did the Spurs goof it up too?

    I said it over and over. Just make the easy pick. Don't get cute. But ol jimmy boy always has to prove he's the smartest guy in the room.

    The only way we have a shot at LMA is if the Lakers went to Deandre saying if you give us a nod to say that you will join us ONLY IF LMA comes, we'll go after that second interview with LMA.

    Presentation to LMA..."Another powerp...VIDEO OF DEANDRE SAYING HE'LL COMMIT"

    Mind blown.
