We Will Rise Again: Official 2014 Laker offseason thread

[Swagnificent]

That's not crazy. That would actually be the smart thing do. These idiots in the FO want to tie 50 mil a year to two players in their 30's.

yea cause kobe's contract is gonna be on the lakers books for 5 years. fukk outta here. kobe's 25 mil will be off the books in 2016. they'd be in the market to sign another max free agent to pair with melo in 2016.

signing melo would be the best thing the front office can do both short term and long term. with melo on for the next 4-5 years, it not only makes us a contender in the short term with kobe still around but can also be used to entice another big name in 2 years time to pair with melo after kobe's contract comes off the books.

Here's my thing tho, if we're goin so hard for melo why not just go after LeBron? For the record, I prefer we just fill holes first but if its so serious that we make a splash why not LeBron? At least he plays defense.

And Melo will be 32 then with 2yrs left on his contract. i'm sure by then his agent would want start discussing an extension. We should have gotten Melo 3 years ago but

Lebron is not comin here bruh. Talking to other teams(besides Cavs and Heat) is basically ego stroking.

 

[360crazy]

Lakers aren't getting Melo or Lebron. Kobe will not win any more rings unless he plays with Melo and Lebron in Miami. Kobe took all of that money because he knew no one of worth was coming to LA to play with him. He's too selfish of a player.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

It's not crazy bruh.





I just want Melo.

I dont. Hes one of the most overrated players today. He's not a leader at all.

If you say so bruh.

Dude has played in the east for a good minute now. What has he done?

I think a lot of that has to do with how Lebron is doing things. He's not meeting with people. He's not really saying much. It just seems harder to talk to LeBron these days.

What has anyone in the East done not named LeBron James?

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Made the playoffs.

 

[Rekkapryde]

I know this will sound crazy but id rather have Randle and build thru cheaper fa then gving all money to Melo

that's smart, not crazy.

Bledsoe, Bean, Parsons, Randle, Pau

 

[TheNig]

Made the playoffs.

You do know that last season was the first time Melo ever missed the playoffs.

 

[TheNig]

Mitch making fukking power moves.

Mitch not fukkin around.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

You do know that last season was the first time Melo ever missed the playoffs.

And there's no excuse as to why it happened. He's in the fukking eastern conference.

The Knicks fukking sucked. Woodson wouldn't play Amare' even though Amare' had no restrictions. Basketball is a team game and Melo was pretty much in it alone last season. Please try thinking...please man I knowwww you can do it. Just try harder. He isn't the most covenant free agent for no reason.
