Reason no one signed kmart bc he wants more than the vet min. Dude needs to realize he is a bench player at this pt in his career.

He's over that. He has come out and said he will sign for anyone for the minimum and has been humbled.

And at thinking Derrick Williams for Pau does anything. Go ahead, that dude is buns and certainly doesn't help you against OKC.

Wizards shot themseleves in the foot by taking on arizas & okafors bad contract + nenes newly signed contract

 

[mronegative]

GIVE LAKERS EVERYBODY

it worked for miami

 Our center was Joel Anthony for the large part of the last 2 seasons, and we still have LeBron running the point sometimes. 

boohoo.

Wizards have been a paraplegic franchise long long before those deals were signed.....they don't even have any more feet to shoot.



Read the article in the Washington Post about Ernie trying to justify why the team is headed in the right direction. Laughable.

Kahn had a mini press conference yesterday saying:
1. He hasn't talked to anyone in the Lakers offices since January--Beasley
2. No trades will happen, due to he's waiting on Rubio and Chase to recover and be completely healthy.

And if Rubio returns good and we make the playoffs I don't see Love being that mad at the organization, its just guys are not healthy including his dumb knuckle push up doing *****. We have the players now. He'll demand we resign Pek and we will. Roy might never play again we can go get some more veteran talent and be 100 for next season.

Plus our coach is not some dumb ***** either so......

I bet it's Adelman that wants Pau. He wants to make Pau-Love the modern day Divac-Webber.

Just read the wiz article that gm ernie is on another planet he needs to realize that team is not going anywhere in the current state. He better do something or he will lose wall to fa.

 

[airjordan jb23]

Just checked out that Stephen Jackson interview... Great piece. Dude always keeps it trill.

 

[essential1]

Any word on the wizards making any moves?

They are probably fire selling the roster sans Wall, Nene & Beal. They need to start figuring out how to free up cap next season and the year after.


#1 on the trade list is Ariza.

KG still passing up shots late in the game and everyone giving him a free pass. If he gave it to PP i wouldnt care but he passed it to the guy that cant hit a jump shot.

If you watched the game you would've seen KG hit the game-tying shot that sent it to overtime with 7 seconds left in the 4th.

On the final play in OT, Turner fell asleep after Rondo inbounded the ball. One dribble and he has a layup.

"Gasol for Durant"

"Gasol for Love"

"Gasol for Harden"

There really is an issue with the perception some of you have against Lakers fans..

Part of what is being said is "I wouldn't trade Pau unless this was the offer."

That's not being absurd. That's being aware of what deals are bad for your team.

People say take Calderon & Bargnani. When someone says I don't do it unless Lowry is substituted for Calderon. It's delusional? No that's knowing what you get back must be worth what you are letting go...

And Calderon & Bargs is not remotely good enough..

And there is nothing dumb about saying "If Love or Josh Smith say they are not coming back or want out that they will be traded." Josh Smith especially... Josh Smith wouldn't be a Hawk today if Ferry didn't pull the rabbit out of his *** and have some take on Joe Johnson's ridiculous contract... And one of the teams they kept at the top of the list was the Lakers. And Love already indicated if the team doesn't start winning he will opt out when his player option comes up.

Pau's value is meh right now. But they've traded less for more before.

Will they trade Pau? At some point... But they won't do it unless they are winners in the deal. It's always how the Lakers have operated and that's not going to change now.

And if that is how your team has operated for 40 years, it's not delusional. It's reality.

Wait, so TWICE the Celtics ran a play for Rondo to shoot game winning jumpshots?

Naw, that last one was for PP but Rondo didn't get the ball to him.

I'm assuming PP was upset since he didn't go over and check on him.

 

[Coupé It]

you can really sense how insecure other teams fanbases are whenever you mention the Lakers laugh all you want but the odds of Kevin Love/Josh Smith ending up in LA are probably much better than Dwight/Pau/Nash/Artest being there in the first place and it's all because their management is just that damn good.
if you've been keeping up with Pau's situation and Derrick Williams in Minny, the writing is HELLA on the wall for some kind of trade between the two teams. enjoy the Lakers struggles while it lasts bros
