[:: LAKERS 2014 THREAD | POLL: Who Should Coach Next Year? ::]

CP1708 · Dec 18, 2013

Which way? You mean players, or which order is more important, or what askin?

If you mean of the 3

2014 Draft
2015 FA
2014 FA

If Bron even sniffed us, then 2014 FA would move ahead of 2015 FA as well as draft. Anyone short of Bron leaves the 14 FA class 3rd.

Hell no I don't want lin

What is Gasol's value exactly? He's aging really quickly and everyone thinks he's soft, so not a big fan of his trade value. i am a lakers fan btw

That reminds me, CP.

Prioritize, please:
- 2014 FAs
- 2014 draft
- 2015 FAs

1. 2014 Draft...young, cheap labor for four years? Sign me up.

2. 2015 FAs...a nice bridge of talent.

3. 2014 FAs...thanks to Kobe's contract and LeBron likely not entertaining LA

KD will leave before Russell... KD low key seem like one of them "U can't beat em, join em" cats

freeze · Dec 18, 2013

I like hustle Westbrook more than KD.

daddyrabbit251 · Dec 18, 2013

^^^

Yea, he plays with an intensity that I like

And he's an LA native.

Apparently, the Lakers called the Rockets about a Gasol for Asik trade.

Gasol and Howard on the same team again - LOL.

I'm too tired of wishing for something to go our way.

Although it generally does, rather no longer expect it, and just be surprised in the future.

it's not much but here is Larry ****'s response to my reloading plan:

Hello there Mr. Larry let me make sure I understand something. If the Lakers don’t sign a max guy and Pau takes a 1/3 paycut, would they be able to sign someone like a Monroe or Deng and still be players for say Love and/or Durant in 15/16?

Amendment to my original comment, would they be able to keep this current roster together, add Monroe/Deng, AND be players for Love and/or Durant in 15/16

Maybe. I need to do a follow-up analysis.

I find this hard to believe. If anything Houston called Mitch trying to get him to take Asik's horrible contract and several of their other bad contracts they have for Gasol's expiring $19 million contract.

Mitch ain't no fool.

Sounds about right :lol

Most likely Mitch couldn't get anything worthwhile for Charmin so we're stuck with him.

darthska · Dec 19, 2013

^ I guar-on-TEEEE that's what happened.

"Damn, dudes is only wanting to give us Rip Hamilton or Juwan Howard? I need to do a presser."

"We have decided it would be in our best interest to keep Pau. We like him. Good dude, gooood dude."

licensed to ball · Dec 19, 2013

that probably really is what happened.

No one was gonna give us jack for Pau, Mitch tryna save face :lol

"I'm so nice, people take advantage of it, that's the problem sometimes," Gasol admitted. "I appreciate the people that appreciate it -- that don't take it for granted or don't take advantage of it for their own benefit."
"It's a tough business to be in for that," he acknowledged.

I've always felt like when a GM (especially ours) says a player is not being shopped is EXACTLY when said player is being shopped. My $0.02

Kobe has a fractured tibia. Out six weeks

If the season wasn't over before, it definitely is now.
