"I've been a Laker since I was born," Farmar said. "I grew up a Laker fan, so regardless of where I am or who I'm playing for, or what I'm doing in life, I'm always going to stay connected to what's going on here [in Los Angeles]."

They waived the buns because the lettuce put them over the salary cap. I went into the restaurant furious. "No more whole grain buns. What!"

Oh yea. Did I finish telling yal my marching chicken joke?
I swear ya'll change lanes fast. Not too long ago, people were all on Blake's d*ck
So, LA cap guy talkin about Kobe right now.
IF he signed for min next year, LA could sign two max guys at 20 mil each in 2014
Then sign one "max" guy in 2015 at 16 mil, and still be able to re-max Kobe at 19 mil in 2015.
So in a sense, 2 year deal for Kobe at just under 20 mil, however at one year at a time ways, so they can sign 3 max players and work the numbers.
His example was, vet min Kobe, sign Bron and Melo.
Following year sign Marc Gasol, max out Kobe for 1 year.
Just an example, but visually shows you what Jim/Mitch might be up to.
Man.....

Ya know, Shaq shoots at Dwight, I shrug.
Kareem shoots at Dwight, meh.
Kobe shoots at Dwight, sure.
But when Steve Nash is speaking out on Dwight, I mean.....damn kid.
Nash out of anybody has more reason to hate being a Laker, hate LA, hate us, etc. And yet he's fully embraced the franchise, and spoken up for us at every turn. We all saw him actually yelling at Dwight during a game, now he's talkin about how Dwight never wanted to be there, and acted accordingly. And Dwight never felt embraced by LA.
My favorite part was Nash saying that maybe Dwight didn't like the pick and roll in LA cuz he played it so much in Orlando and wanted a chance to play more on the block........so he signed in Houston.
Nash a funny guy with that one. Houston is pick and roll city. He'll get post touches, get stripped, and they'll stop doin that and call for more screen and rolls.
Can't resist sharing the lead to my column about the joke from inside Lakers' offices about Dwight ...
The joke making the rounds within the Lakers' organization after Dwight Howard's departure is that he didn't just head to Houston for promises to play more in the post, escape Kobe Bryant's demands, avoid state income tax and savor a smaller town again.
There were two wholly unreported elements working in critical tandem during the process:
Dwight's baby mamas. And California's sky-high child-support rates.
Howard was never going to make more money by staying, even with that fifth guaranteed year the Lakers were offering!
The fact that the Lakers can laugh – even if the humor is rude – about Howard's departure is a reflection of the relief that many inside the club feel ...
I am truly convinced they are building a team for the lottery.
