Lakers fans aggy over rumors of giving up Randle...dude is not going to be shooting the ball AT ALL this year...
Dude is going to be on the floor with Lin, Swaggy, Kobe, and maybe all 3 at the same time...you think one of those dudes is passing the ball to an undersized power forward rookie?
Randle highlight tape this year will be nothing but putbacks and the occasional steal and dunk in the open court

Why are the Clipps hated in Miss and Tenn?? I can kinda of see Tenn because of the past playoff wars Clipps/Grizz have had. Do Miss residents support the Grizz??

Since you think you can predict the future, what are the lottery numbers exactly?

From ESPN Insider Amin Elhassan(Laker Hater) courtesy of Skooby...
He has the Lakers as free agency losers since they didn't get Melo or Bron
He had the Lakers, Pistons and Kings as losers but no Rockets or Heat
Los Angeles Lakers
Main signees:Jordan Hill, Nick Young, Carlos Boozer, Ed Davis
If you squint your eyes really hard, what the Lakers achieved in free agency was pretty good: They outright stole Davis for two years at the veteran's minimum, Hill's deal is a dramatic overpay but is really just a one-year deal with L.A. holding the option on the second year, Boozer for one year at a little more than $3 million isn't that weighty and Young ...
OK, forget it. The Lakers shot themselves in the foot.
Other than Davis, none of the players signed this offseason can be looked at as a building block for the future. At the same time, none of them are good enough to individually (or collectively) change the fate of this team's win-loss future enough to ensure a playoff berth. In essence, the Lakers spent a bunch of money to contend for the 10th overall pick in the 2015 draft. Slight problem with that strategy: If their pick falls outside of the top five, it goes to Phoenix as the final obligation due from the Steve Nash trade. Strategic win-loss management issues aside, the real story is how the Lakers brand was incapable of landing a single signature free agent despite having the wherewithal to offer a max deal. If this were the Jazz, we wouldn't bat an eye, but for this to happen in Tinseltown? My how the mighty have fallen.
