The Show Must Go On: 2013-14 Los Angeles Lakers thread

Man I do not see love taking us to the promise land when Kobe's done...give me melo a good coach and some defensive minded players...oh yea and a point guard something we never had

lol, that's what the lotto pick is for. I want Love next to Embiid, I think they'd be what Bynum and Gasol couldn't be. We can go after Bledsoe which imo is preferable. I don't got a problem with us getting Melo, but for one he's an older player than Love and for two I don't know how well he'll fit next to Kobe. If they do fit well together, then that alone is gonna be a lot of shots between them and less chance for our potential lotto pick to develop.

I ain't trippin either way. This team needs to hit on the draft pick. The idiots that run our team have found themselves in a great situation, they can sign a player in his prime, draft a new franchise player of the future, and let their old superstar go out in the style he deserves. I can only imagine how the dumbasses running the team will fukk this one up.

If they win the lotto and draft Embiid, I think they have to make a strong push for Bosh in free agency. If they can't sign him, do whatever it takes to get Love in LA by 2015.

You really wanna give a 30 year old a 5 year max deal? I don't.. Give me a prime Kevin Love to go along with our draft pick + Kobe and hopefully Lowry.

Melo will play at a high level 3 out of those 5 years. Maybe I need to watch some more wolves games.

I don't think kobe would mind deferring to his good friend melo he just never liked Howard that's all

 

[gho3st]

So Shannon Brown(Before signing with Spurs) went from avg 10ppg to out of the league?

 

[Hater]

I wouldn't mind missing out on Embiid if we got Asik.

[Hater]

Interesting time to get "injured"

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Those who oppose the tank gon get them mystery injuries. It's Doc Buss and the ghosts of Lakers past powering this holy tank.

Having a secure spot on this Lakers team moving forward might be a tall order to ask for if you’re currently on the roster. For Jodie Meeks, he hopes that his growth and improvement this season will play a big factor in what management decides to do with him in the 2014 off-season.

According to Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News, Meeks has a very strong interest in staying in Los Angeles, and will be looking to sign a long-term deal with the Lakers in this upcoming summer:

“I like the city and love it here,” said Meeks. “The coaching staff is great and it’s a storied organization. I always pictured playing in a organization that’s prideful about winning. I love it here and hope I can stay a long time.”

As for the Lakers, we know that they intend to have full flexibility to do what they want in the summers of 2014 and 2015, so a long-term deal might not be in the interest of management.

Regardless of that, Meeks has been having a career season, averaging 14.7 points per game on 45 percent shooting from the field and 41 percent from beyond the arc.

Thoughts?

Hell no Meeks can go somewhere else

 

[Hater]

Thoughts?

I rather keep Swaggy but if he looking to get paid, resign woatie.

 

[King Poetic]

So everyone is imagining if the Lakers get the #1 and pick Embiid, but have the brehs thought about the possibility of getting a 2-6 pick?

Wiggins? Exum? Both are likely inefficient low teen scorers in the first season..Jabari Parker would be interesting and could become a monster working with Kobe...and then what? Gulp....Randle, Smart, etc

Need at least top 4 brehs
