I don't remember anything about him wanting a sign-n-trade...and there was more money to be made by signing with Houston, because of the tax laws. either way, he was leading us on and making us think theres a chance he'd stay for some time..the sign-n-trade was always pipe dream.


things are quietly goin good for us right now....everyone comes off the books in the summer, we found a potential point guard for the future in kendall marshall, kobe fractured his knee, allowing more time for the Achilles to rest, enough money to sign two max-level players this coming offseason, a probable top 5 pick comin our way.......the odds are in our favor. if we play our cards right, we'll be killin the game again by next year.

Okay... I'm not so sure...

Lots of contracts come off the books, but Kobe is signed for too much, we need luck to get into the top 3 and the Lakers are about to lose 7 in a row at home, plus they don't look ready to compete next year... this is NOT good. Unless they can make a trade for Love.

And the sign and trade was not a pipe dream. There was lots of options, Dwight wanted it, Houston was ready to give it, and the Lakers tried to act tough at first. It was a misjudgment about how LA has never lost a big name free agent. It was a slap in the face, and I truly hope the organization realizes that it will take more than Gold and Forum Blue uniforms to regain their mojo. I want to see #17 and #18 in the next few years. I can't stand Boston being on top. And this could have been avoided had the Lakers sucked it up and talked to Houston in June instead of trying to push something last minute.

We are not good right now. Marshall, cool, Nick Young, cool, but these are not starters for a championship level team. At best these are role players. I wouldn't be convinced the Lakers are back unless I see some real talent on the roster under the age of 27.

I want Jimmy to stop running the team, let Jeanie and Phil handle that, get some young talent under 27 ready for prime time and an exciting brand of basketball that I don't feel bored watching. Hell I'd take a team like the early 90's with Van Exel, Jones, Cedric, Campbell and Vlade. It takes time to build a championship team, even Shaq and Kobe needed 4 years. But make the product watchable, even if you are going to lose. At least when they lost after. Shaq left the team had a young Kobe. Right now, I take time to watch the game, and it sucks. I have never felt this way as a fan. And if they had more draft picks, at least I'd feel better about the future.

IM TELLING U, WE HAVE ALL THE LEVERAGE IN THE WORLD GOING INTO NEXT SEASON....HAVE SOME FAITH. WE STILL GOT ONE OF THE BEST GM'S IN THE BUSINESS.
