Suddenly I'm starting to wish the remaining members of the Buss family would go ahead and make some racist comments now.

Good for the Lakers - now let's see who will get the coaching job and will Gasol re-sign with them..

It was something like he gets half of his salary, which ends up being something like $2 million, though the Lakers can recoup some of that back if he ends up getting hired elsewhere.

Maybe they are making room for a coaching job for Doc Rivers... let Magic buy the Clips and then send their better players over haha

In talks with John Calipari & Kevin Ollie.

I doubt either leave their program. Both in good shape for next season, especially Calipari. But there was that report before the NCAA Championship game that said Calipari to LA was pretty much a done deal.

Do they have any picks to get any of his players

Post by: Chamillitary Click on May 01, 2014, 07:51:18 PM
I mean, they're gonna be in the lottery. They could land Julius Randle. I don't know if they'd take him if they got a top seven or eight pick though.

James Young is projected outside of the lottery. So outside chance lol.

..but yo.. the Lakers have been down before, I remember after Shaq left everyone thought the Lakers were fucked, and in the Nick Van Exel days they weren't that solid.   But they aquired Shaq and that changed everything... then after Shaq left they made moves to get Gasol and that changed everything...

The Kobe deal might have them fucked for a couple years though.  But it won't be long before they land a big free agent signing or two and get back in business.

That's really the bottom line. You can never expect them to be down for too long.

Shaq left in 04 and they acquired Gasol in 08 so it wasen't like the bounced back immediately. Plus, we don't know how much Kobe got left in his tank, how well he's going to play next season and will he be able to avoid another injury - along with that comes the free agent thing and draft pick.. there are simply too many unknowns when it comes to Lakers so we should wait and see what they are going to do.

Personally, I believe it will take them 2-3 years to rebouild and be contenders again..

Ask Knicks fans how long it takes to be contenders again.  The Lakers had some of the best basketball minds in the world for decades.  Jerry, probably the greatest NBA owner, somehow Jerry West was an even better GM than player.  Jim isn't on his father's level and Kupchak isn't West. 

Plus I don't see Phil walking through that door.

Knicks aren't really a fair comparison though..

Why?  They are both huge markets that the media always pumps up as destinations for free agents.  What does LA offer that New York doesn't have?  They don't have Jerry Buss or West anymore.  Kobe is done, Phil is in New York.  They can grasp at drafting a future superstar by tanking if they have any picks.

You are so far into the forest you can't see the trees.  You will realize how much in common you have with Knicks fans in year 4 of your rebuild.  Enjoy.

You said the Lakers were going to be better this year.  You also said Kobe would be healthy.

didn't think the entire laker team would be injured and that we'd be starting d-league players from 10 day contracts the entire year...but i also said rockets would lose in the first round, which makes me 1/2 for 50%, pretty damn good from the field still 8)
