    Wow.

    Yeah I don't think anyone could argue the point Nick Young is more of a distraction than a guy coming to practice drunk and collecting DUIs like trading cards.

    hoping we didn't push too hard.

    Kobe can drive guys to drink. Can't imagine if he already had a problem....

    We pushed hard. When Stein says that we were one of the other teams that were 'determined' to acquire Lawson, I tend to believe him. Considering that Lawson made the final year of his contract unguaranteed, I would have definitely taken the risk...

    what's pushed "hard"? the lakers didn't even have all the empty salary Houston sent. they could have pushed by offering firsts or young talent, and they obviously didn't, else Lawson's drunk a** would be here. I'm sure they offered the young/Kelly/sacre pupu platter, and they might end up glad they didn't subtract by adding. weren't we here a year ago with lance Stephenson?
