Why do you guys keep saying this silly shyt? This fukking team just won 27 games without Kobe, with about 50 different starting lineups, some nights only suiting up 8 guys with Pringles as the fukking coach.

You really think you take those guys from last year's squad, add Kobe, Melo and Julius Randle with a competent coach and an actual system they won't double their wins? Are you fukking serious? :what: :wtf: :mindblown:

Of course they can double their wins with that team but go deep in the playoffs? Nah can't see it.

The Spurs just won the title with Boris Diaw as one of the focal points but you're already dismissing the Lakers? Are you guys even fans? :what:

People want to act like the Lakers weren't treading .500 a quarter of the way through the season with no bean before the team turned into a MASH unit

Yea, I still think Melo is just using the Lakers as leverage to either get his max deal with the Knicks or a sign and trade to the Bulls so he can get the full max in Chicago. Melo & Kobe sounds nice, but defense would be real bad.
The knicks already offered him a max deal. But if we were to sign melo, how much money would we have left to spend on FAgents after signing Pau?

Breh, I'm still reserved after the failed experiment that was Howard, Kobe, and Nash. I like Melo. I just think we can build a more well rounded team without his max contract.

Bruhs we went back to back with a team that wasn't overly talented. But they were a complete team. I'm not saying we can build one with Melo, but a Core of Melo, Kobe and Randal sound like a nice starting block to me.

Little off topic but I expect Deandre Kane to become a rotation player

They are realist unlike you. You're just a homer. I'm sure if I go through your old posts, I'll find some where you were celebrating the Mike Brown hirer, the Nash trade etc.

A month ago you said Embiid was the only good prospect in the draft. Now everyday you're here dikk riding Randle. Same with @Swagnificent Dude made several posts calling him a bust. Now that he is Laker he is going to be an all-star.

I hated the Brown hire; it shoulda been Shaw. The Nash trade seemed good at the time, but he played below expectations and Dwight destroyed that team.

I still think Embiid is the best prospect on this draft, but after cooling down, Randle should have an immediate impact. There's no pressure on him, especially if they land Melo so he can grow at his natural pace. I never shyt on him as a prospect. I can't change my mind on what I think his impact could be? :what:

You don't even like the Lakers from what I can see. Constantly trashing the players and front office. They've been to almost half the Finals since 2000 but it's always doom and gloom when you're posting. You sound like a Wolves fan.

Is it still "delusion" on my part for Melo to sign with the Lakers? :thatso:

Melo isn't going to sign with the Lakers and that's what's best for the organization in the long run. And I'm going to continue trashing them until the FO get their act together.

You're why people hate Lakers fans and think we're spoiled. One wretched season and you're jumping off a cliff. :mjlol:

Tell me LA has no shot at Melo again.

@Gil Scott-Heroin you too.

The logical view on this is that it's leverage to bluff Phil on leaving Knicks with nothing.

Why do you guys keep saying this silly shyt? This fukking team just won 27 games without Kobe, with about 50 different starting lineups, some nights only suiting up 8 guys with Pringles as the fukking coach.

You really think you take those guys from last year's squad, add Kobe, Melo and Julius Randle with a competent coach and an actual system they won't double their wins? Are you fukking serious? :what: :wtf: :mindblown:

They still ain't winning no ship.

Please tell me you ain't serious.

Knicks have already offered him the super max - he'll get it no matter what. If Melo is using LA - it's only leverage to 'bluff' Phill to send him to the Chi.
