You're right he deserves blame. He could have been fired Puke also for his insubordination.

Did Jordan Clarkson think Metta's 3 at the end was going in? "I don't know. He was shaking like a stripper in the corner."

If the idiot Cavs can get picks, so can the Lakers. #sisepuede #buthopeishopeless
 
The Joy on the faces of our young kids tho.
That's the kinda joy we haven't seen from our Laker team in years.

How can you be mad after seeing it, especially after finding out about DLo's granny? :(
 
Hope they enjoy LA while they can. Indiana is an awful place.
 
It's kinda funny to me to be honest. All this tanking talk for the last few years has been annoying as ****. It's a weak mindset and a loser tone to set for a young roster. I was rooting for us to lose these last few games but it's whatever. Y'all ready to jump off the bridge and we might keep the pick. **** happens.
 
Since All Star Break:
Russell - 18.5 / 3.0 / 5.0 on .425 / .356 / .800
Randle - 13.9 / 10.0/3.0 on .479 / .282 / .736
Ingram - 13.3 / 3.7/2.2 on .495 / .280 / .542
Clarkson - 17.3 / 3.3 / 4.0 on .427/.320/.868
 
Just a lil facts and perspective for anyone who thinks losing the pick is death on the basis that we also give up a '19 first rounder and 2 picks>1. If we keep this year's 1st we lose this year's 2nd rounder as well as next year's 1st AND 2nd. That's three (3) picks lost. If we lose this year's pick, we lose a '19 first and keep this year's 2nd and next year's 1st and 2nd. That's two picks (2) lost and three (3) retained. So we actually keep more assets (3>2) if we convey the first this year. And we still have Houston's 1st, Denver's '18 2nd and Chicago's '19 second.

So if you're gung ho on asset collecting and of the mind that more>less than you should actually prefer giving up two rather than three or at the very least not be apocalyptic at the thought of losing this year's pick

We keep the 2018 pick if we lose this one.

Even if we somehow become a playoff team in 2019, it's likely at the bottom of the conference. That 2019 pick will intrinsically have more value than the 2nd Rd picks. It's not a comparison. Quality > quantity.

As far as I know, if we keep this year's first then the 18 2nd goes to Orlando and the 18 first is unprotected to Philly. Otherwise if we lose top 3 this year we keep this year's 2nd and both picks next year.

Even if you want to argue value, the two 2018 picks should be greater than one in 19. But value is impossible to gauge until you see how the prospects actually turn out
