    My son will only play for the Lakers.

    2 hours later: I didn't say he will only play for the Lakers.

    This guy would make a great White House Press secretary.

    I'm gonna go register a website combining Lakers and Ball. Hmmm..... what to call it? I'm sure it'll be worth a fortune.

    Accidental hobby has taken on a life of its own lol

    Being Laker related has made the worst era in Laker history more bearable. More fun to say it with a gif!

    I've looked into a few new guys off the DE list.

    Caleb Swanigan- Seems like another big man. There's two dozen of them right now in this draft. I'm not confident he's anything special.
    Alec Peters- Good kid, winning player, one of the few natural shooters in the draft, not even close to an NBA athlete.
    Jonathan Jeanne- International prospect, a ton of upside. Also a beanpole with some odd attitude issues.
    Grayson Allen- I see a lot of Jordan Farmar here. There's some weird attitude things here, but I think he's got NBA bench talent.
    Jawun Evans- A little small. I'm not sure about him in the NBA but he's got some talent.
    Wesley Iwundu- Another nameless swingman. He's got some natural ability, but he's one of those guys that is hit or miss.
    Jordan Bell- I like him actually. Versatile defensively, hard worker. He's a little undersized, but could carve a career in the NBA.

    I'm down with the Tank now. I've opposed it all year, but I want Ball if possible.

    As much as I want to oppose it, I'm down with the tank now also. Still want our guys to play hard but just come up short. We need that pick. Even if we just use it in a trade.

    A culture of losing and / or tanking is hard to overcome. Top 3 pick or not.

    Having said that, I want Ball. He's one of those players who should be a Laker.

    Well by trading Lou, Magic/Rob have all but publicly declared the tank is fully on at this point. I hate tanking these past few years, it sucks. But it ain't hard to see that's the plan for these last few months of the season. Draft is deep, let's get our guy and move on. I think next year's first is gone (unprotected) if we keep our pick this year so let's end this tank age with a big score and not look back.

    Part of me also would like to see Luke just throw up a big middle finger and get them winning now again, but with Lou gone, the chances of Clarkson stepping up are pretty low.

    I blame ROFY. Got me to re-enlist after 3 tours and thinking I was "out". Greater good and all that s***.
