He didn’t want to sign those two contracts and wasted a his prime when he won two chips. Steve Nash everybody thought was a good idea.

He didn't want to sign those contracts? Let me guess, Jim Buss forced him huh?

He wasted Kobe's prime. Kobe from 04-07 had the WOAT teammates ever for a superstar. EVER.

This was his lineup

Smush Parker or Chucky Atkins
Kobe
Luke Walton
Odom
Kwame



How woat do you have to do be to have KOBE BRYANT in his prime and not take advantage of that?

fukk Kupchak forever.

Cantstop in 2012:

we officially signed Nash

that's my pg brehs

a pg that can get in the paint, distribute and shoot?

"not like he averages 15 assists a game or something"

Listening to Setve on Espn 710 now.

ESPN Los Angeles LIVE - Max & Marcellus - ESPN Los Angeles

that's my pg

Age isn't an issue when our oldest players are STILL first tier in their respective positions.

So we upgraded our bench and pg situation with our mini mle left for a guy like Meeks. everyone knows I bag on the front office but we're leading the league in best offseason

Our starting unit is set which is

Nash/Blake
Kobe/Barbosa
Artest/Terrence Williams
Pau/Jamison
Bynum/Hill

We have a top 5 PG
Best SG
Best C
Top 3-4 PF

our bench is top 10

the only thing is your tired act of trying to reel up the coliseum to join your hatred for the purp and gold. See you for all 82 + games this year Bilz. :shake:

just looked over at our roster brehs and it's so beautiful. salute to mitch and jimmy

yo we're gonna make em SO mad this season. Last season it was tough popping shyt because our roster was but this season im making sure we back to LWO 08-10 status

Statistically, Nash is BY FAR the best pick and roll pg. Statiscally, Dwight is BY FAR the best pick and roll C. I have a solid idea brokewave, let's sign Phil Jackson, run the triangle offense and turn Nash into Steve Blake(we all know an offense like that worked so well for Steve in preseason and the early season). Does that sound like a winning formula to you?

The horror on my face when I found out we actually signed a coach that employs an offensive system that caters to one of the best PG's of all time and best C in the game.

We added the best C in the league and a top 5-7 PG. Keep . Not like Dwight is on his way to full recovery and Nash wasn't putting up elite PG numbers with a bad back.

So we replaced our shook PG with a top 5 PG who is cool as ice in pressure situations

Nash doesn't need to learn how to play D with Dwight behind him.

Lakers with an A+ offseason.

Nash
Jamison
Hill

Nash is a top PG. You saw what he did to y'all on Christmas.

Nash(the best pick and roll PG in the league, statistically)

offseason keeps getting better

I made this thread and we got Nash, Dwight, resigned Hill, Jodie Meeks and Jamison.

Looks like I'm making the season thread.

I can tell the board is shook.

Last year, I was after the CP3 veto and I just knew it wasn't our season.

This year I'm counting down the days to training camp.

to the haters.

Oh yea we're real shook of the fukking Spurs. We only have the best backcourt and frontcourt in the L.

Last time the Spurs won a ring was in 2007.

I was a drunk and I’m a stan. I’m not paid to make decisions.

At least Kobestans willing to admit they think their opinions are as terrible as everyone else does, I'll give you that.

But for the record, you weren't just stanning Nash when he was joining Kobe. You treated a Nash to the Raptors rumors like it was some big deal, even started a damn thread about it.

I'd disagree and say Exum is still very much an unknown. 4 years in and we're still discussing what he might be without having any answers as to what he is.

But back to my point in that regard, don't take a player because BPA when you're already committing to someone there. Your scenario doesn't even conflict with that. You're saying take a 5 and get rid of the one you have. You're not disagreeing with my logic so why are you still bringing this up? Exum being a risk is a separate matter, but what you're still doing is addressing a need. If you said take Michael Porter because he's BPA then you're clueless considering what you've committed to.

I said Exum is more of a known commodity than Sexton/Young, and that's the truth. 4 years in and we're discussing what he might be because of injuries, not because of a failure of his skills or not having talent.

I'm saying take BPA regardless of need, which is why we're disagreeing. I'd take Bamba, regardless of whether or not I have a plan in place for Vucci because at the end of the day he's an expiring so if I trade him or not Bamba will be my starting C of the future one way or the other.

I'm NOT saying pass up Bamba for Sexton though!

Gordon ain't no 3. He's been at the 4 all year and that's where he performs best. If Isaac is gonna succeed anywhere it'll be as a 3 because he physically is too puny to to put the mass needed and it looks to be that way for a while.

As for Saric, that Magic team had Gordon, Tobias Harris, and wound up signing Channing Frye on a big 4 year deal. That team didn't need a Saric. Knowing what we know about that team, there's a better chance he winds up like Hezonja and you know it.

Breh, if you're saying Gordon is a 4 and Isaac is a 3, what exactly is the objection to them potentially working together? Having them both would give the coach flexibility to adjust his matchups, and I disagree Gordon can guard some threes.

Fam, you said this about the Bucks and Sanders/Embiid, drafting for need is exactly how you end up passing on Embiid for Parker, had they taken BPA they'd have the two best players under 25 on the same team, but they didn't need a generational C I guess. Knowing what we know about Saric, there's also a chance he ends up starting next to Gordon, and also would have freed up the Magic to draft Dennis Smith or Mitchell since the wouldn't have Payton and would have needed a PG in the 2017 draft.

Take Ayton and trade Vucevic. I'm telling you Orlando hasn't been inclined to do shyt like this though. They'd do some shyt like draft Bamba, re-sign Vucevic to a 4 year deal, have Bamba behind Biyombo on their depth chart and then wonder why they're not progressing. Clusterfukk city.

You don't need to trade Vucci, he's expiring at the end of the season Also, I don't think Hammond is an inept as Henningan, you're still operating under the idea that they've got Rob at the wheel.

What motive did I have? This is the dumb shyt here I don't understand. I don't have a motive behind what I said besides saying it. YOU however on the other hand, do. You're the one with the agita towards him. I don't gain or lose anything based on someone else's performance. I'm way too blunt to play these stupid games on here. I'm way more objective than you're giving me credit for. I'll shyt on whoever and give whoever props if warranted.

You and I haven't discussed basketball outside of the draft until Rubio's name came up You do have a motive and post about him when he plays well, we are the yin and yang breh.

Sabonis ain't a 5 by trade though. He's only playing there out of necessity because Turner's banged up a lot. He's a natural 4 (and if you wanted to relate that to Orlando's roster then, they had Vucevic, O'Quinn and Dedmon)

Covington's been a SF every year except this year, and truth be told, you can flip flop him and Simmons and it doesn't really matter. They can play both forward spots.

Gordon's been meh defensively as it is. He's been better at the 4 though. Their clusterfukk at the 3 is already gonna cost them Hezonja. Isaac is as talented as anyone on that team, but he ain't built for the 4 with his body and blood of Christ diet.

He's playing the 5 and doing well at it, better than he did at playing the 4 because he's not even remotely quick enough to guard 4s. He plays the 5 coming off the bench for Turner as well, so it's not just a case of him getting minutes there when Turner is out.


Covington has played mostly SF this year, he played the 4 almost exclusively 3 years ago though, the point is that when you have 6'8+ forwards you can get away with playing them together now because the PF position is changing into a spot where Tweeners are now coveted. They have 3 guys who are all positionless in the sense that none of them are traditional PFs, yet all 3 of them can guard a traditional PF if need be. An Isaac/Gordon pairing makes a lot of sense with the direction the league is heading, it's all about versatility.

God damn tonight's lineup is loaded.

Tor/Cle
Bos/Mil
GS/OKC
WSH/Hou
Ind/Den
SA/LAC

And Lakers/Utah might be different since Lakers have no reason to lose.
