Lakers offseason thread: Renovation era

[Premeditated]

How that nikka gonna call anybody stupid after that?

motherfukker. I know Spain is a white country. I was just saying, you would be naive to think a large chunk of them don't have moor in them. Did you even read through the thread? Did you read what that nikka said in the thread also?

 

[rapbeats]

fukk it, might as well pick him up, as there doesn't seems to be any other younger talent we can pick up. Meeks is a hella streaky shooter, was mostly cold for the Sixers this year, but hopefully with the Lakers and with Nash, he can play make his wide open shots he will be taking. Our roster is really good, but for us to be a lock for a championship, we gotta get D12 ASAP, even though he is a bytch ass nikka, he is a talented ass fukk bytch ass nikka and one of the top 5-10 NBA players in the league, so we gotta get that trade done

let me let you in on a little secret.

THE LAKERS DONT NEED DWIGHT HOWARD.

there's no reason for you to NEED dwight. when you have a center that was getting doubled and tripled teamed last year. if your bigman can attract that much attention. his job is done. what the rest of yall need to do is what? TAKE and MAKE OPEN SHOTS. could the lakers do that last year? NOPE. thats why they lost. same as the year before. dallas beat everyone because they were on fire with their 3s and mid range jumpers.

sessions wasnt a reliable shooter, blake was a decent last year. metta was horrible early and solid late. kobe was HORRRRRIBLE early(torn ligament in the shooting hand wrist). and decent late.
kapono couldnt hit a shot, traded, murphy couldnt hit a shot consistently. gone.

gasol was MONEY from the high post the last month of the season but playoffs came around. and he forgot how to shoot.

you cant have a situation where teams can just jump your big like that and you cant hit. they will do the same thing to dwight. dwight is good but he aint no shaq either. he aint moving 3 people to dunk on them. it aint happening. HOPS and BEASTLY POWER are two different things. people dont realize that.

thats why you may never see another shaq in your lifetime.

This team badly needs some athleticism to cover the defenses lapses for Nash and Bryant. Howard is the answer.

Bynum doesn't play D if he doesn't get the ball. Howard gets hyped/motivated off a couple of dunks and blocks. We're going to have to pay the max either way for either center...might as well it be Dwight. If you can upgrade from the #2 center to #1, shyt why not?

I'm not sweating it though. Lakers consolation prize is the #2 center in the league, not a bad problem to have

Team needs to focus on that bench first though. The pool of agents are shriveling up

Troy Murphy shot 45% from the field and 41% from 3 last season.

Murphy actually shot better than anybody else on the team last year, problem was he was the most unathletic player on the team and a HORRIBLE defender.

Jodie Meeks to LA?

I was actually referring to your post on Australians. Aboriginal Indigenous Australians are as dark as people in Africa. Its even hard to tell them apart sometimes. Angel on the rag is right. 500 years is not long enough to have an affect on their appearance. Yeah, I read the thread.

breh, the Lakers defense got worst near the end of the season. Bynum does not care much about defense, and the best way to overhaul and improve our defense is called getting the fukking 3 time DPOY D12. He will cover up Nash's flaws on defense and cover up Pau's softness too at times on defense. Bynum is talented as fukk too, but the dude's attitude and the way he phones it in during games, and even PLAYOFF games ain't acceptable at all breh, so he has to go, and Dwight, even though he did give up a bit on the MAgic nearing the end of last season, with the LAkers he will be motivated as fukk as he knows this is the best team he has and will ever play with and his greatest chance to get a ring and for his legacy as well. Plus, with Bynum and Gasol, they don't contemplate each other, Bynum takes up the whole post, so Gasol is forced to shoot mid-range shots, which he is good, but he is much better in the post. Phil couldn't fix the Pau and Bynum problem which was why Bynum was on the bench during most of the 4th quarter and Pau was center with Odom playing the 4. Dwight might not be Shaq, but there ain't been a player as strong or physical imposing since Shaq 3-peat era, and the closest person since is Dwight. Plus Dwight is an underrated passer to, and is much better at reading double teams and passing out of double teams. Bynum is the better free throw shooter, which is important in late game situations, but besides that, Dwight is better at everything else and we can rely on him to bring it every game and once he feels and hears the affection he gets from the LAker fans, he will stay for here for sure. Bynum is dope, but his inconsistency and his bad work ethic is a nuisance, this is the same Bynum that told Kareem that he didn't need any more help on his game. Give me D12 over Bynum any fukking day.

when you have a center that was getting doubled and tripled teamed last year. if your bigman can attract that much attention. his job is done.

That's only if the big man is a good post passer. He's only getting double and triple teamed when he actually has ball and there's nothing he could do about it because he's an awful passer and just turns the ball over once he gets swarmed. Even if they have good shooters on the perimeter, it doesn't matter because he can't get it to them.

Dwight is miles ahead of Bynum. Anyone that says otherwise doesn't watch basketball.

NBA Rumors: Lakers and Jodie Meeks Express Mutual Interest

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a very busy summer and it appears as though the front office is still ready to make more moves. The Lakers have already acquired Steve Nash and Antawn Jamison, and it looks like one more name can be added to that list.

Los Angeles has struggled from the three-point line in the past several seasons, but it did help that issue by trading for Nash. However, one player cannot do all the work, and thus the Lakers are looking for more help. According to sources, the Los Angeles Lakers are interested in adding Jodie Meeks. The two sides have been talking and the former Sixer would make a nice addition to the team.

Meeks is a great shooter and he will help space the floor for the Lakers. With such a deadly shooter like Meeks on the floor, players like Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol will have more space to operate.

Adding someone like Meeks would also make the lives of Nash and Kobe Bryant much easier. Nash would have another teammate he can pass to and Kobe would have a player he could rely on in clutch situations. Every championship team needs a three-point specialist on the floor, and Meeks can be that type of player for Los Angeles.

Meeks has played three seasons in the NBA and he is an average 37 percent shooter from the three-point arc and 88 percent from the free-throw line. Two seasons ago, Meeks shot almost 40 percent from the arc and Los Angels would surely appreciate a number close to such a high mark. The Lakers had one of the worst benches in the league last season, so Meeks would surely help strengthen that aspect of the team.

Why hasnt Kmart been signed ?? Was he that bad?

 

[Colejeezy]

Meeks and Nate would be good enough off the bench.

 

[Still Benefited]

Damn K mart is a possibility and we signed Antwan Jamison?if we get nate and meeks that will be a good look but really we don't NEED anything else....dwight would halp on D more then Bynum but Bynum ain't just a scrub,plus he playin for the contract this season expect nuthin less than a 100% effort unless he's a true idiot

 

[Bilz]

Why hasnt Kmart been signed ?? Was he that bad?

He looked pretty washed up last year. I'd sign most of the other PF's on that list before him.
