Saying we will be fine sounds like me last year...

Last year I was good...

This year? Nah. This is killing me...
 
None of us were in those pre draft workouts

DLO may have proven he was the best player available at #2, you can't pass that up

This may be true but coming out of the draft the rhetoric was that there's multiple bigs in FA next week. So they were also trying some type of justification for the sudden switch after two months of being on the Oak train.
 
The world isn't over, but this isn't a good look.

You can't keep courting free agents and then failing, it looks bad, it makes players think something isn't going wrong, it may have nothing to do with our pitch, but you get this perception, and that is big.

We really need a star to come out and say I want to play for the Lakers and bring this franchise back, sadly we had that kind of with Butler, but he can't leave.
 
after the draft it was "in mitch we trust"

Now the ship is sinking and lma hasn't singed anywhere lol

no wonder ppl hate us :lol

I was just thinking the same thing lol free agency isn't over yet. Regardless 3 months ago we were in the darkest hole now everything is looking brighter. We cant get everything we want. This reminds me of 07 when we wanted to trade Bynum for kidd and get jermain oneal. Fans were pissed and wanted to burn mitch at the stake. Bynum blossomed and we got mid season trade for gasol. We ended up in the finals that year. Of course we had kobe in his prime but regardless I haven't lost hope in management. They will find a way to get us back to the top one way to another.
 
My gut-we ain't gettin DJ. But we'll make a formality pitch later today...Hopefully mitch wont have too much jetlag.

So the contingency=Monroe/league average SF? Love(meh)?/league average C? Rolo/Tobias? Option C it is.

I'm hurting bro. We're going into our 6th year straight of stuggle ball. With no hope on the horizon.



Might as well dead the season again, tank once more...get a high draft and go after KD next summer. Sorry Kobe, I love you, but it has to be this way. This longterm losing cannot continue.

why is everyone overreacting to every tweet?

we missed out on a pf that hates playing c when we already have a pf thats too small to play c

every little thing is going to be all right

I mean, they could have made it work with minutes, so he plays very little center.
 
what happened to all the optimism and young core and our bright future?

They're still there it's just the guys we've been pursuing the last couple years apparently don't want to wait for them to develop while they're in the middle to downside of their primes. Which is understandable for them but sucks for us.

I'm still hyped to watch this squad if we completely bust this offseason. Going to be like the NVE and EJ days...was a fun squad to watch!
 
The Lakers have had prominent free agent meetings in each of the last two summers, only to come away empty-handed when all was said and done.

L.A. chased Carmelo Anthony last year, and reportedly got close. The year prior it was Dwight Howard, though the chances of him re-upping was always extremely slim, for a variety of reasons.

The Lakers were much more optimistic about their chances of landing one or more big names heading into this round of recruiting, and the first meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge reportedly went about as well as could be expected.

Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com:

The Lakers meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge went almost two hours. Source in the room said it went “really well”

From a person in the room for the Lakers pitch “LaMarcus seemed completely focused.”

Always hard to gauge how a meeting really went, but Lakers felt better about this mtg w/ Aldridge than they did w/ Dwight or Melo.

Bill Oram of the Orange County Register:

Been told Kobe Bryant was “very good” in Lakers meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge. Also that meeting went “well,” for what that’s worth.

This doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things; Aldridge knew what the Lakers had to offer before he stepped in the room, and things probably won’t be much different in San Antonio, the other city that has the strongest chance of signing him.

But after the way the last two summers ended in disappointment for the Lakers, they’ll take any encouraging signs they can at this stage of the process.
