That contract may end up looking REAL bad by the third year. If Russell and Clarkson continue to develop, 7 million for a dude who may not be...
I think we need to look at the center spot as well. If we somehow landed #1, you take Simmons. But if we land at 2 or 3 (anything further we lose...
Plachke has been there for years and is more of a columnist. Emplay is Laker/NBA exclusive. If he loses access to the Lakers, he loses his job....
Not sure Walton is the guy. He was handed the keys to a Ferrari. He's probably just rolling the ball out there and saying, "So shoot the ball and...
Which makes you question why we signed him to be a head coach full of a bunch of rookies.
He needs to keep himself in good graces with Laker management. His ability to earn a living depends on it. As much as I'd like to say I wouldn't,...
We could get a good coach. Randle looks like a beast. Clarkson is looking more and more like he's an all-star caliber sg and Russell has shown...
I'll be honest, if you're going to allow Kobe to continue the chucking with zero accountability, run him 48 minutes so his other achilles snaps...
Well, to be fair, he has arguably two top 15 players, and they were in the WCF last year and actually added talent in the offseason. Scott's...
Byron Scott was one of my all-time favorite Laker players. At this point I can't even stomach the sound of his name. Honestly, it's not about the...
Del Harris was actually a good coach for that particular team when he was hired. They simply outgrew him and they needed a stronger presence. He...
I think we are spoiled here on Lakersball. The "average" Laker fan doesn't have anywhere close to the grasp of this team and its problems as the...
This is so disturbing on several levels. First, he takes no accountability for his actions and the plays (or lack there of) he draws up. Second...
I just want to say that I was ADAMANTLY against this hire from the get-go. On CL I was dreading this hire. I say that not for the "I told you so"...
Oh, I think there's legit fear. All those articles that were coming out about Kobe essentially bullying the entire franchise around are starting...
That's the most frustrating part. Kobe, his fans, Byron...they think this is simply a phase. He hasn't played well in two straight games since...
Exactly. He ain't passing that ball. Their job is to simply stand far enough away from him in order to prevent him from being triple teamed.
I think Clarkson has room to improve. We have to look at the full context of his draft situation with him. He was a sure-fire first rounder before...
Not yet. Clarkson is our best player right now. He has a PER of almost 20. I think Randle WILL be our best player, as early as this season. But at...
I hope not. I mean, he is having the best year of any of last year's rookies. Last year's ROY (Wiggins) has a PER just under 7. JC is at almost...
