We Will Rise Again: Official 2014 Laker offseason thread

[Hater]

A source said the Bulls would hope to engage the Lakers in sign-and-trade possibilities should they get a verbal commitment from Gasol. The Bulls would dangle the expiring $16.8 million contract of Carlos Boozer and likely would have to include sweeteners, possibly in the form of draft picks. Steve Nash has an expiring deal the Lakers have shopped in the past.

And that's exactly what he'll be doing when Kobe retires in a couple years.

smh, this dummy coulda retired with more rings than Jordan if he had just taken a pay cut.

I only want Melo if Lebron comes with him. Other than that.

this.

Another plan was that if the Lakers couldn't get the LABron/Melo combo, the other plan was to try to get Melo/Bosh, which wouldn't be that bad imo, but if its just Melo

I'd be more than happy to get Melo locked up right now if they could. They'll have a little more cap room next year with Nash's deal off the books and then in two years at the very least crazy room to try and pair someone else up with Melo.

brehs you know what bill simmons is doing.. hes a celtics fan meaning he hates the knicks and lakers. He's trying to make the Knicks fanbase go into panic mode and Lakers fanbase have hope meanwhile his fakkit ass just laughing at both fanbases behind the scenes.

Not getting my hopes up.

 

[Rakim Allah]

Not getting my hopes up.

I hear you.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Like @GreatestLaker said, it'd only be worth it if we get LeBron too. Melo alone isn't gonna fix everything.

 

[PTBG]

I hear you.

Funniest shyt about this whole Melo Drama, was when that moron Chris Broussard said that Melo was only meeting the Lakers because he lives close by the facility and was only going for Kobe, saying they have no chance at all.
