So we traded DLO for what? Kuzma and Lebron! SMH. Mitch, Jim, & Chaz the Bartender had a vision. Magic preached patience with the youth and he threw that out the window! We are no longer young. The only youth we have is Zo, Ingram, Kuz, Hart, Caruso, Svi, Wagner, & Bonga. Why, God, Why? 😝😝😝 |

We just lost an all-star center and future all-star power forward for nothing. SMH |

I hate everything!!! This thread sucks!! Can I say that?
We are going to tank, last place, now that we don't have DLO, Clarkson, Nance or Randle!!! Or Jerry West and Mitch!!!! Or Jim Buss!!! It's all been Jeannie's fault the whole time!!!
Magic is over rated!!!!! Pelinka looks like Rob Lowe, enough said!!!!
The new uniforms look absolutely horrible!!!!
Josh Hart is ONLY playing OK because he is playing against lousy players!!!
I would trade Ingram, Kuz, Hart, Lonzo and all our draft picks for the next 5 years to get Kawhi. I hated Kawhi when he came into the league! But after getting Kawhi, I would inform Lebron that he is NOW the second option.
And one final comment, to end on a positive note. I really like Lavar!!! _________________ Never argue with stupid people! They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience!! - Twain |

Brook is FARRRR removed from being an all star center. Randle will not make the All Star team in the West. |

Julius Randle is overrated here.
Whew, I had to get that off my chest. |

Say what? All star?
Losing Randle hurts. But the Lakers didn't have cap space. It is not a loss "for nothing". It comes with the signing of lebron and an all-star (or even all pro) player next year. Its not as if they walked away and we got nothing. The money doesn't work that way.
(But yes.. I'm sad to see Randle gone.) _________________ "We got a new universe coming and he's going to control all our universes. We're going to put our universes together" - Metta World Peace |

It seems like Lonzo Ball hasn't done any work so far this summer. He seems too nonchalant and too cool for school. Now he's having arthroscopic knee surgery, which means that even if he wanted to, he can't really put in any work for a good chunk of the summer.
He's overhyped, injury prone and on his way to being a bust. As Kobe would say - ship his a$$ out! _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers |

And don't forget, the time and effort involved with a pregnant GF who wants to be married, a wanna-be rap career, and a overbearing father that expects Zo to take care of his family as well as his younger brothers wanna-be NBA careers..
All this adds up to Rondo as the starting PG... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

As big of a Kobe fan as I was for 2 decades, I could never quite get over the fact that he couldn't properly palm the basketball due to his hand size and would cringe at times when he would dunk and cup it, or would have to jam it in quickly so it wouldn't slip out. In my opinion, it hurt his vertical as he had to be more conscious about the ball possibly slipping out of his hands when he would glide in the air. He mentioned in years past that he worked hard on hand strength to make up for this.
This is a piss and moan thread right? I'm pissing and moaning, let me be! _________________ I miss you Kobe. I miss you Gigi. |

I hate FAKE Laker fans.
A lot of them have probably never been to LA.
When the Lakers are struggling they end up talking about nothing important about the Lakers.
They don't really care when the Lakers are struggling.
And when the Lakers are winning they embarrass themselves by talking trash to Laker haters as if thd fake Laker fans that they are, are somehow the secret reason for why the Lakers are successful. |

A center rotation of McGee/Wagner/Zu is terribad. Hopefully they trade for Robin Lopez or a competent starting center like him.
Losing a healthy Randle for nothing is a worse waste of assets than losing Jabari Parker for nothing.
One of Mitchell Robinson or Robert Williams will be better than Moe and De'Anthony Melton will be better than Bonga (and I like Bonga).
Rob Pelinka bullcraps like (politician's name redacted) after an Encyclopaedia Britannica binge. That's going to be an issue long-term. _________________ Under New Management |

I've never been to LA. If you'd like to make a list of anything else I need to do stop being such a FAKE fan then you know where to find me.
P.S. I once finished 8th in an elementary school FT shooting competition while wearing a Magic Johnson jersey. Hopefully this feat gives me a heads up on whatever trials await me to gain entry into your REAL Laker fan Xanadu. |

Lopez wasnt a good enough 3 pt shooter to justify the bad defense and rebounding. He was taking shots away from better shooters |

Randle plays PF. Lebron or Kuz is playing PF now. |

I guess Randle can't or won't play center: link*
* his minutes distribution last season was roughly a 50/50 split between PF and C. _________________ Under New Management |
