We Will Rise Again: Official 2014 Laker offseason thread

[Swagnificent]

Exum is going to be a superstar. We could have drafted him at 5th if we hadn't won those meaningless games down the stretch.

true. but can't cry over spilt milk. Randle looks good. Plus he's better to pair with Kobe the next 3 years than Exum who also needs the ball. That Randle/Kobe pick n roll gonna be sick.

 

[Dwight Howard]

so as long as Houston isnt a lottery team, we get their pick

 

[Kenny_Powers]

he looks like he has "it". it's encouraging seeing him able to finish over length. He was able to get great shots over and around Withey all game. he has really good footwork around the basket, but he looks pretty good breaking down forwards from the top. dude is quick for his size. he'll never be a defensive enforcer but he can be a solid team defender with proper coaching. his touch around the basket is looking elite, its something you cant really teach (ala Dwight). some of the shots he take im like "wtf" but he finds a way to make them go in.

Jordan Clarkson gon mess around and take Kendall Marshall spot. he's honestly looked better than him this summer. doesnt have the playmaking ability, but he looks to be a great slasher/scoring pg we can bring off the bench. being 6'5 and athletic helps alot too. i think he should def make the squad, let him learn from Nash. maybe we have a 2nd-round steal. maybe

Marshall is fukking trash, motherfukker needs to

How is Clarkson's defense, by the way? I only watched when Randle was in the game because of the WC.

You never answered my question tho, you used to be the most optimistic Laker fan on the board. What was the straw that broke your back?

draft lotto

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

draft lotto

That was the 1 thing the organization had no control over tho.

its just solid. he has the athleticism unlike Marshall he just needs to work on IQ stuff like positioning

Proper tanking could've worked, but we had an enemy coaching our team and doin fuked up shyt like playing nash so we'd have to pay what we owe him, doing everything in his power to derail the tank, it just brought me back to all of the mismanagement throughout the years and I've come to the realization all the bad times during Kobe's tenure with this team and directly tied to jim and mitch and unless they go away ain't shyt gon change.

I'm interested in seeing Randle's development and Kobe chasing Kareem.

Yeah, it's kinda like a comedy hour. Tragicomedy with how fukked up it is, but I understand the Lakers are in a hostage situation so I'll just enjoy what few brought spots there may be cuz we won't be the Lakers until those jerks are taken out.

 

[CanesMiamiLakers]

Lakers suck and I gotta root for my canes
I always had the lakers to look forward to.
They should bring in lamar to make me feel better

 

[Colejeezy]

i like the jclarkson kid. he has potential..fearless attacking the rim..explosive..athletic..id take him comin off the bench over marshal and develop.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

You guys shutting in Lin like he won't be starting or was a bad pickup


And Marshall is a smart player, regardless what you think about his athleticism. JClarkson might take some of his minutes, but Marshall mixed well with the 2nd unit last year if I'm not mistaken. They both might spend time on the court together

Randle looks real good. Hope he continues to improve. He reminds me of a throwback type player and has REALLY good handles

Im excited about Randle brehs.

Him and Jordan Hill should eat up all the rebounds for us.....we should have offensive rebounds/put-backs galore once the season begins.

The key to our team is Kobe though. If he's healthy, we'll do better than expected....probably even sneak into the playoffs as an 8th seed.

The FO is officially garbage though

They totally blew the whole "2014 plan"

We need the Asian Doctor to hurry and up buy the Lakers from the Buss', because they have no idea what they're doing

You a Cavs fan now, breh? You was an LWO general from way back on the SOHH days. What's up???

I still AM an #LWO general breh.


Im repping my city and state out in the open now, since Im tired of all the slick remarks about Cleveland & Ohio in general. It doesnt change my love for the Lakers, Buccaneers, FSU, or UK at all.


Matter of fact, I've always rooted for the home team, just since I've changed my avi from Adrien Broner to Kyrie Irving rocking a practice jersey with my city name on it, everyone's acting alarmed


It's still #LWO business as usual or I wouldnt be in here
