But he'd still be the playmaker for the team until he no longer had that role. Why are you making this harder than it needs to be? Another question, do you consider Whiteside and/or P.Gasol to be defensive anchors?

i) You don't have to be a center (or start for that matter) to anchor a defense
ii) I'm not asking you to rank centers from 1-30 - I'm just asking you out of the players you consider to be defensive anchors, who would be at the bottom of the list (if you can't decide on one, name as many as you want).
You know what breh...it's 4:40 where I'm at :heh:

Roy Hibbert is a defensive anchor. And was so good at it that the Lakers went and got another player in his mold.

You Laker fans are so stupid. Why aren't y'all blaming Jeannie Buss? She's supposed to be governing owner. Y'all knew this day was coming with all this cap space. Y'all thought "we're good, we're LA, we'll get some big names"

People been telling y'all for the longest no big name wants to go there:mjlol:. Hell 2 weeks ago, y'all thought you were getting LeBron & KD

So now when free agency starts, no body is taking their calls, can't get a meeting & y'all bytching about giving Mozgov 65 mil.

This is what's gonna happen when no one wants to play for you & you HAVE TO spend 55 Mil. Jeannie should have fired Mitch & Jim at least 2 years ago & things could've been different

Didn't the owners say they'd sell the team if they weren't a title contender by now?

Bismack not better then Mozzy, Mozzy came back from knee surgery too earlier this season and it fukk him this season but Bron got Mozzy this payday from last season production when he was ballin in the Finals... :ehh:
Unless he can rekindle his game (and remain healthy) from '14/'15, there's no reason for you to suggest he's better than Biyombo right now. Same applies to Noah. Especially since Biyombo will continue to get better and both of those players will steadily decline over the periods of their respective deals.

:manny:

No, Jim Buss said that he would step from basketball operations if the Lakers weren't contenders in 3 years but I think he might have been given an extra year or this is supposed to be the final year
:russ:at them selling the team. This is their family business. They aren't like other owners that own companies in other industries & decided to buy a team

Biyombo is 23*; anchored a top-10 defense (technically 11th) and was arguably a top-5 rim protector last season + has a clean bill of health. Noah is 31; has noticeably declined on both ends and has a # of health concerns.

@Soundwave I think you might need to bring out dem thangs. :francis:

So it's down to Portland and Memphis. Please let Memphis sign him.

If we get him I just might change my avi for the first time since joining the Coli. This is a step backwards.

This is why teams like the Blazers and Grizzlies never win championships. fukk this. Anti-climactic...I was waiting to see what they was going to do and this is what they come up with.'

Disappointing.
