Hate to inform you that B Scott is no longer the coach of the Lakers.

How can you move forward and keep the pick? You would have to be extremely lucky or Silver would have the rig the lottery for you. You can't keep relying on the draft to save you.

The Lakers got 2 good locker room vets who can mentor some of the draft picks. If the signings are structured with team options, along with health, the signings go from solid to good.

Do you honestly think Swaggy P and Lou "Jack Tripper" Will should be the main vets influencing the young core?

The cap goes up next year. The Lakers still have close to 20 million left.

Again who are these one year signings the Lakers should have went with. Wes Johnson? Wayne Ellington? Sacre? Ronnie Price?

20 million won't be enough to sign a top guy

Not even close

When the smoke clears on free agency and we start to see players getting signed on one year deals, I'll be sure to point out how stupid you sound

Being real..

I'd rather watch Kobe back out there for another year getting 30 mil :wow:

No question

But why pay deng 72 mil?

Afflalo is much cheaper
Ryan anderson is the same price and fills a bigger need
Allen crabbe still available

Theyre so many cheaper, younger options that make more sense

20 mil in cap space is useless when deng cost 18 mil

Lakers shoulda been signing guys to 1 or 2 year deals

What a trash organization

Lowry is definitely a better defender than Conley, and Kyle can guard SGs. Neither can shoot, but Kyle plays hard 100% of the time. Conley is not consistent, the only thing he can do is manage an offense, but he also never averaged 7apg. And he's like the only "Top 10" that can't average 20ppg. He's good, but he's not a difference maker. If Lowry is your PG, he instantly gives your team an identity.


Lowry can easily take over a game, Conley......can not at this stage of his career.

Lowry can shoot, he's a consistent 3 point threat.

They could have well over 20 million next season. Like I said the cap goes up. Also the Lakers aren't guaranteed to get a big name especially if they as bad as they were this past season.

Why can't you point it out now?
