We had a key injuries. All of our centers in the rotation were injured and Deandre Jordan took advantage of their absence. If we had Bogut, Ezeli or O'Neil in game 7 we would've won the series. But don't let facts cloud your lousy opinion.

I didnt give an opinion at all:umad:


I asked questions about what YOU stated last offseason:ufdup:

Lakers might have something in Clarkson. At minimum some energy and potential scoring off the bench. I see him as a 2 guard in his early stages. Or an off the ball one. I wouldnt expect him to make plays for anyone but himself at this stage.

Lakers are going to have to swing for the fences on some guys that havent developed. Much like last year. Just show guys playing time is available and if you produce look at Meeks, Kaman, Hill, Swaggy, Farmar all came up in regards to salary. Mitch needs to wise up and get these guys for 2 years with a team option tho. Fukk a player option.

Potential Targets:

Al Foruq Aminu
Ed Davis
Seth Curry
Jeff Adrien
Charlie Villanueva
BJ Mullens
Chris Douglas Roberts
Brandon Rush
Jimmer Fredette
Aaron Brooks

Hope to add atleast 3 guys from that list to the roster before its all said and done. Not much, but might be able to hit on one or two of them for production.

:laff:at me wanting Marcus Smart over him. dont get me wrong Smart gon be nice, but Julius is an obvious mismatch at the 4. we won
this nikka a beast. reminds me of a Lamar Odom/Charles Barkley hybrid. too quick for most pf's but also stronger as well. if he develops a consistent jumper its a wrap. 13 and 8 rookie year...he got vision too

:yeshrug: Shawn Marion is the best SF left and he is a good defender, not sure if he would want to come here on a rebuilding team, but this might be the only team left on the market he would start for and we could offer him a 1 or 2 year deal. He is old, but he can still ball, but if we are gonna really go full out tank mode, than yes bring back Wes Johnson to be the starting SF instead.

Never understood the ZBO comparisons, other then Randal having a nice post game. He has elite PF athleticism. The body control and fluidity is nice, Lebron look stiffer.
