We Will Rise Again: Official 2014 Laker offseason thread

[CASHAPP]

^God damn son take it easy. I said numerous times I respect the organization. The difference with Dwight Coward is that he came and just gave up in less than 1 year....first time ive seen a superstar give up that easily. With Bron and Melo all im saying is that maybe both want to try and build a bigger reputation through championships if they stay. They just wanna raise the bar...so even if they arent on a Lakers level....there is at least a discussion

 

[CASHAPP]

Yeah, that doesnt happen in real life breh. How many FA's you see knocking down the doors begging and hoping to play for the Memphis Grizzlies or Utah Jazz

I never said any of those teams....Im talking Melo (NYK) and Bron (MIA) those are babies compared to LA but the one thing they have in common is a popular city...thats where im talking how maybe they want to build a new legacy jist like Jerry west ...magic...kareem did and that tall white center who played for you decades ago who I forgot their name

People keep saying Melo would be the King of New York if he won a chip there. Which is true. But if Melo wins a chip and takes this torch from Kobe in LA he could be the King of Everything. The Lakers reach is far beyond their local market. It's global.

Yes, New York is the largest United States Market but the Lakers have a global market that is unmatched. King of a city vs. King of the World.

Channing Frye just left the market.

Jermaine O Neal still available.

If Lakers do get Melo - and Pau - speculatively I could see Steve Blake and Caron Butler back with team - I hear Kobe recruiting both

Dammit Kobe, ain't nobody want Bagel & old ass Butler back.

If you missed this, Lakers are interested in Lance Stephenson depending on how the Melo/LeBron situation works out.

 

[PTBG]

ESPNSteinLine: Vibe I get out of New York, meanwhile, is legitimate unease ... given that some in the organization expected a decision from Melo by Monday

 

[Dwight Howard]

I'm cool w either Melo or Lance. If we're missing on Melo Lance should be a definite. Mitch has the balls to throw 3yr/40mil at him.

Is Isaiah still in the mix?

Is Isaiah still in the mix?

Add Stephenson. BK RT @LakerJason: @LakerGMC @KamBrothers I assume our plan B is Isiah Thomas and Monroe
