I posted something similar to this in the Byron Scott thread. Barnes fills a tremendous need and can help the transition to Luke Walton's system....
I still like Mitch as well, but at this point, a complete house cleaning is needed. An ideal offseason (since Durant isn't coming to this dumpster...
Byron Scott...not sure what else there is to say. Jeanie at this point needs to clean house. Fire Mitch. Fire Jim. Fire Byron and his entire crap...
I still don't believe that "3 years or I'll step down" crap. Nor do I believe Jeanie will fire him. I think they're just throwing Laker fans...
I'd throw a max, poison pill deal at Barnes. Do they match? probably, but at least you weakened them from a financial perspective. This offseason...
I don't think they anticipated Kobe being this bad and dragging this team down so hard. Full disclosure, I didn't think Kobe would be this bad...
I'm not entirely sure I understand the "logic" he's trying to follow. So because Scott underachieves with a roster far more talented than a...
I'm not "wishing" an injury upon anyone, especially our own players, especially a player who has done so much for this franchise. But at this...
We absolutely should NOT be tanking. We have our young trio in place already. We need to now grow them and nurture them. The Simmons kid sounds...
He'll continue to take them because he can't get his bread and butter shots off anymore. The defense knows he can't shoot them so they sag off. To...
Oh no doubt. Not saying I'm rooting for tanking. Unless we are like the worst record in the NBA by 3-4 games with 5 games remaining, then I may...
No doubt, it's possible. If Boron remains our coach, and he continues to coach this way, we could finish bottom 3 worst record at which point it's...
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...
