First, ESPN hates the Lakers. They use us for click-fodder with their anti-Laker drama, and it always works.

Second, *F* Paula George. None of his teams have ever been to the NBA Finals, and even with Westbrook, they're looking at yet another 1st round exit. Having Paula would not have gotten us anything other than a 1st round exit. Stop building this weak minded loser up as some great NBA Finals mesiah. He's an overachieving beta and he's right where he belongs, with another no Ring-getting fool (Westbrook).


U hit it on the nose. Paul Gay is just that. A loser. Everyone on here needs to quit listening to the media and form your own opinions. The media is East coast biased and they hate Magic. Do u recall for you young folks that believe the media, Magic dominated the 80's, so everyone hates the Lakers. They are saying anything possible so another big free agent does not sign here. Reason is fear. Paul Gay hates pressure. That is why he stayed in lil ole Oklahoma. Zubac has sucked for years. All of a sudden, he was the Lakers missing link. Hahahahaha. If Randle is so good, why aren't the Pelicans in the playoffs. Russell and the Nets made the playoffs with a 500 record. But will be swept in the first rund. Boo hoo hoo.

Form your own opinions LGers. Lakers are in the Lottery have the greatest player (old but great) and lots of good young talent. Lets get a good coach that commands respect and we will be fine. One big free agent would not hurt and the front office has provided that flexibility.


That's all what needs to be said

When you add one of the greatest players of all time and are 8 games under .500, there's no need to form another opinion. The Lakers suck and someone in charge needs to be held accountable. Is a decent record even too much to ask?

Covering your ears and screaming "we're the lakers" isn't acceptable anymore when they haven't made the playoffs for the last 6 years and counting, especially after adding a player like lebron.


We didn’t add one of the greatest players of all time, we added one of the greatest players of all time 3 seasons after he was that great.


Which is still a top 10-15 player at worst. It's not like lebron was coming off an injury like post-achillies kobe.

Yet the lakers are 8 games under .500 despite having such a player for more than 50 games. Shows you how much the FO screwed up in the other areas for the team to produce such a result.

A decent amount of teams can have records hovering around .500 without a player producing like lebron for 50+ games. It's excusable the lakers can't do the same and clear such a low bar.


As I said on another thread, Lebron, Kawhi Leonard, Cousins, PG at one point, and Anthony Davis WANT(ED) to come to this Lakers team. Just because Paula changed his mind doesn't mean that the Lakers are not a target franchise. AD still wants to be here, and KL has said he wants to come here, and Cousins wanted to be here before the Warriors signed him. So, in my book, quality players still want to be Lakers. All this sht from the media saying they don't is just to pull in readers who like drama.

ESPN is obsessed with the Lakers. The Lakers have been out of the playoffs for weeks and two of their top 6 headlines today are about the Lakers. They just can't quit talking about this team.

Ah, the Lakers have been a circus for 40 years, and the circus was brought to another level by the Internet age. In a few years, Lebron will be gone, but the circus will go on and on and on ...

It's Hollywood, babe. It's always a circus.

You can sit back and watch the show. Or now, thanks to the Internet, you can be part of it. Your choice.
