2014-15 Lakers Season Thread (21-61) KAT

[quote name="PMatic"]I don't know, Rondo will probably ask for like double what Lin is going to get.[/quote]I never think about money.

You're right.[quote name="PMatic"]Rondo for $10-12M per year at age 29 or Lin for $5-6M at age 26? Tough.[/quote]Yikes. Is a handgun with a single bullet not an option?

Rondo is just such a flawed player, it's hard to make an argument for him.

I know a lot of folks in here don't like Lin. But I wonder where Lin ends up next year. I think he's got potential. Steve Nash should be his model, since the technical fundamentals and shooting that made Steve excel can be developed at least to a small degree. Shame what's happening to him this season, but with the state of our personnel and our coaching, he didn't have a chance. I'm thinking he would grow the most if he went to a team like the Hawks, that play a free flowing game and isn't dominated by a single superstar. 

Hopefully he ends up in a dumpster

The confidence in which Simmons mentioned Rondo and L.A. hooking up didn't sound like he was putting pieces together in his head. He's heard something.

He's 26. 

How much more development can he have? We said the same about dwert, lets have him work with kareem, that **** didn't work. 

At some point you are who you are.

He's a back up guard who I despise

Anyone have any info on this t-shirt from the ESPN article? I've been looking for a nice-looking Lakers t-shirt that isn't obnoxiously yellow/purple for a while. Thanks in advance.

looks like one of those shirts you can cop at target along with the other dodger, usc, and angel team gear.

I wouldn't mind Jeremy coming back in a reduced role off the bench.

I actually wouldn't mind most of the players coming back next season... Especially J chill off the bench where he excels IMO.

We just need to clear Wes Johnson, ronnie price, sacre, and R. Kelly off the bench.

Jeremy Lin's problems are Jeremy Lin's fault.... He did the same thing in Houston.

He's a good backup that's it

Thing is, Hill costs 9 million. The 4 you named don't even cost 9 mil combined.

Ronnie and Wes can go, but no reason to cut bait on Sacre and Kelly unless you get a truly great haul this offseason.

In 2016, if you add more talent post Kobe, then you can cut them loose if they haven't improved enough.

wes got the memo. jackin up brick after brick

Raptors.

 

[CP1708]

**** you Toronto not playing Lowry.


This is a nightmare.

 

[sea manup]

Never trust the craptors to do anything right

 

[fun guy]

second quarter meltdown in 3...2..1..

 

[sea manup]

I have 0 faith in toronto holding this lead

 

[tupac003]

10 missed shots in a row.

Thank you Lord.

Off to Brooklyn, who are fighting for their playoff lives and then a back to back in Philly.

 

[essential1]

Timberwolves are too far gone. Sixers are close enough. Magic almost far enough.

Magic + 1-1/2
Lakers
Sixers - 2GB



Sixers - 9 games (5 R , 4 H) 2 B2B
Lakers - 11 games (5 R, 6 H) 3 B2B
Magic - 8 games (4 R, 4 H) 2 B2B

Winnable games for each team:
Sixers - vs. LAL (B2B), @CHA, @NYK (B2B).... Outside chance at 1 of the 2 against WAS, bottom half offense and Sixers have a good defense, same chance vs. Milwaukee
Lakers - @BK, @PHI (B2B), @DEN (B2B), MIN, @SAC (B2B), SAC
Magic - @MIN, NYK (B2B), @BK



Outlook is very bleak, unless we somehow drop a majority of the 6 we could win, and lose the game we are supposed to

 

[pmatic]

And you know Sacramento is going to to know those last two games to keep their pick (probably safe already though).

It's 100% safe, unless they go 8-2 or better. They're 6th right now, 2 games from 8th.

Why did you keel my bradar.

Damn, he has krispy kreme coatings.
