I wasn't in here yesterday for the game but.... Is there anything more irritating than MWP on offense?


MWP for a bag of sour cream and onion ruffles.

you mean the one dude that actually hustles on defense?

D12 is a nice dude but he's the biggest diva in the league.

So? Jim buss needs to put his pride aside and understand that he is only a small piece of the laker organization. Isnt winning the main priority? By signing dantoni he showed that it is not. Just wait till all the players voice their displeasure and the only thing they can do is get rid of him cause he is not willing to adjust his style of play to the players on the roster. Ive said it from the start that he was a bad hire.

jim buss is turning into Donald Sterling and Donald Sterling looking pretty good right now

As a basketball fan, I really hope the Lakers get it together. I want to see a Kobe/Bron finals at least once. It would be a shame if this never happened.

the pacquiao vs mayweather of the NBA... Will probably never happen

 

[Figured it out]

Reports are saying Memphis signed Delonte....

 

[geoff2005]

The Los Angeles Lakers have rejected trade inquiries from teams interested in Dwight Howard as they believe there is still a good chance of him re-signing in the offseason, according to sources.

But sources said the Lakers may reconsider their position before the Feb. 21 deadline due to his increasing displeasure with his role under Mike D'Antoni.

Howard has not publicly indicated that he is interested in leaving, but has dropped hints in team circles about his unease with D'Antoni.

The Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks are the most realistic options to sign Howard outright in free agency.

The Brooklyn Nets are believed to remain as an option that intrigues Howard, but a trade would be necessary.

Id rather fire Dantoni and take the risk of starting from ground 0 then keep this dude any longer

If I was Kobe I'd set a 5 shot attempt goal for myself in Memphis and just force Feed the ball to Dwight on the block all game. No Pick and Roll none of that straight back to the hoop post play. That way when Memphis bigs get done stripping, pushing him off the block and sending him to the FT line and the team struggles to score 80, Dwight can step up and take the blame for the loss....

Dude pointing fingers and shooting airballs from the free throw line...

Dude pointing fingers and wasting 2 and 3 fouls/techs a game on nonsense plays...

Dudes in this thread scapegoating Kobe now? Really???

 

[CP1708]

The "trade Dwight" stuff is snowballing big time. We lose tonight........gonna get thick 'roun here.

 

[don ramon]

yeah that's probably the best move for the lakers right now. well that and a new coach

who wants a diva like dwight on their team? he's a snake. at least accomplish something before you bask in your diva glory

 

[darthdeezy]

Grizz bout to tear the Lakers a new one.
Will not watch. Hahahaha

 

[thegoldenchild]

Mitch believes it is the player's lack of effort and not Dantoni.. sounds like more problems than we thought. If the frontoffice cant admit that dantoni is the issue we're gonna have a long long season ahead of us with lots of players leaving

[CP1708]

I'm not on the list of problems.

 

[pmatic]

Basketball reasons.

Yeah ESPN is pushing it hard

I don't think Dwight is all that good so I'd probably take the risk and if he walks he walks. Maybe try for love if you gonna trade him

Basketball reasons.

Damn, how could I forget about that one.

CP I almost put you but my thumbs got tired of typing. Lucky guy

If Anyone else thinks of ideas why we suck, feel free to post. Ill add it to the list.

 

[mgrand15]

Have you guys heard any reports from trainers/doctors/anyone about Dwight definitely regaining the explosiveness he once had? I ask because I'm not sure I've seen someone look this unathletic then come back next year and go back to superhuman/normal-Dwight athleticism. Is it a sure thing that he gets more explosive?

I just can't imagine his trade value being all that high when right now, he doesn't look like the game changer he was in Orlando. Do you really want to pay this guy 100 million for 5 years if he's looking like this at 28? His stats aren't all that different from his Orlando year but the way he moves and impacts the game is on a whole different level.

 

[CP1708]

Some nights he looks fine, other night's he barely moves. Not sure if that's his back, or interest.

 

[Coupé It]

Haha great list.

Forgot age tho.

 

[darthdeezy]

I escaped the list of problems!
Its crazy how a siutation like what the Lakers are in can make someone a non believer.

The more I watch...Kobe does not deserve his jersey to be in the rafters with Magic, Kareem and the rest.
He is NOT a Laker legend. He is merely a semi-great player who played in a weak decade of basketball.
