This shyt ain't possible. Didn't they just sign Hill and Randle.
:leon: Ain't Al Horf a FA next season? He would be a great pick-up for LAL, even though he does get hurt, he is one of the best and most productive big men in the league, practically an automatic All Star if he is healthy, but he is gonna stay in ATL though, they have a real promising thing going over there.

No, he isn't and gtfoh B.

2015 FA class got some players but most are likely to stick.
2016 is the class. Noah, Durant. Horf, etc.

:beli: Lakers need a center, but M Gasol won't come here, Deandre Jordan is probably gonna stay with LAC. Only hope is that somehow Ed Davis turns it around and lives up to his potential, but he won't so its gonna be a lay-up defense for the next 2 season for LAL.

M Gasol already falling off wit his fat azz so we better pray Edwin can turn into a solid 5.

:ld:He would actually be THE perfect piece on this team and would turn us into a contender imo, but he is going into his 30's, but he really only had one injury filled season last year, when he plays, stat wise, Grizz are the best defensive squad in the league when he plays. He probably stays in Mem. I really hope Ed is the starting 5 though. :lupe: He is really athletic and has shown that he could be a good PNR defender, and is much better at the 5 than the 4. :beli: I like Hill, but he is not a starter at all, and is best used playing 15-18 minutes. And if Davis doesn't show much or shows some value, we can always try to dump him along with Nash and Hou 1st rounder at the trade deadline for a solid piece as well.

Marc Gasol would be the perfect piece to a lot of teams as he is the perfect piece for Memphis as well.

More cacly....fukk it. At this point I'm just ready for the season to start, I'm hoping Kobe stays healthy and he's back to being Kobe again. Hopefully we have a coach that's no braindead, and hopefully we make the 8th seed to keep our pick away from the faggit sons.

Ed Davis needs to bulk up if he's going to play the 5 dude is skinny as hell:damn:
:ehh: I think he could sorta be like our Elden Campbell, he needs to improve his jumpshot. When he was getting minutes at the 5 with the Rap's, he was giving 4/5's that work. I remember he was out there looking dominate against the Lakers 2 seasons ago vs. Pau & Dwight. He seems better suited if the team ran that Miami Heat blitz PNR defense he would flourish, which is why Bosh has been successful at the 5. All I know is that if Hill is gonna start at the 5, that he is gonna get hurt less than 5 games in. Ed Davis in a contract year and wants to show that he belongs as a starter, give him a shot, we already know what Hill can do for the most part imo. :manny:

all things considered, Mitch did a solid job

-Jeremy Lin and a first round pick for the draft rights to a 32 year old who was drafted in 2004.

-Not giving in to Chicago's sign & trade offer which still got us Boozer for something like $13 million cheaper.

-Jordan Clarkson is looking like a steal and Mitch wanted him so bad he straight up bought him.

Keep Swaggy P at $5 million a season..Jordan Hill at $9 a year is a good move too and I don't think he's being overpaid. It also gives us a trade piece if we need to acquire a larger salary.

-At #7 Julius Randle was the right pick and he could end up being a contributing player right away.

-And honestly I think we got really lucky with Xavier. Don't take this the wrong way, but if he didn't get injured and have to sit last season, I could see him being a much more sought after piece this off season. His injury might have given us the ability to keep him

-Ed Davis for 1 mil
