I can't believe the freak out by fans that we aren't getting mediocre players like Robin Lopez. Just stop. We have mediocre players. Who cares? Stop acting like there is something wrong with us because Robin Lopez chose someone else. I'm actually kind of glad we aren't signing the scrubs people are clamoring for. We will be happy we don't have these guys clogging up our cap a couple years from now. We actually have a full team right now. Robin Lopez gets us maybe 1 or 2 more wins. He may cost us wins if Upshaw ends up playing well. People on this board are acting like dudes at a club and don't care what chick they go home with as long as they get laid.
We have a full team right now? That's news to me. In a couple years Kelly, Sacre, Brown and at least one of our late round picks won't even be in the league. But our team is full.
Im only on board with lopez if he comes in a package deal with aldridge Other than that i want biyombo
Robin Lopez - 12.4 pts, 8.4 reb, 53.5 FG% (per 36 min) Tarik Black- 12.3 pts, 10.8 reb, 58.9 FG% (per 36 min) Robin Lopez - $12 million Tarik Black - $840,000 Just saying guys.... no need to panic.
Huge risk for DAL. No Monta, no Tyson, old man Dirk, pretty boy Chandler, and Wes "achilles tendon" matthews interesting
According to Stein, they're still in the running for DJ/LMA. Somehow, other teams are capable of making moves while pursuing these free agents while the Lakers just look clueless.
Personally, I don't think Wes Marthews, Parsons, and a 37 year old Dirk that plays the same position as Aldridge is superior to what we have to offer, but what do I know. I know they're unproven, but I'd rather have Russell, Clarkson, and Randle than those 3 at THIS point of their careers (achilles injury, overrated, old), so we got that goin for us as a way to comfort ourselves.
Just saw the Lopez' twins walking down the promenade in Santa Monica rocking Dodgers hats if that means anything...
