what can the Lakers do this offseason? almost every player except Kobe is tradeable, but they won't get much for Odom or Butler....and no one wants Divac or Brian Grant....They have no salary cap room available to sign a top free agent like Ray Allen or Michael Redd, unless they take a pay cut like Payton and Malone.....don't see that happening....What can the Lakers do? :-\
-
trade butler and others for boozer move lamar to sf sign a back up or starting center for the LLE OR MLE n then maybe we can draft JACK/felton n maybe after trade it for someone or maybe phil can convince someone like larry huges or antonio daniels for a pg

WE DONT NEED NO M REDD OR RAY ALLEN WE ALREADY SET AT SG WITH KOBE WE NEED PEOPLE WHO FIT THE TRIANGLE MEANIN A PG THAT CAN SHOOT A PF THAT CAN BE A BANGER A CENTER THAT CAN BLOCK SHOTS N HIT SOME SHOTS HERE AND THERE WE SET I EXPECT A 55 WIN TEAM NEXT SEASON BELIEVE DAT
-
I was just using them as examples of big name free agents...
-
I really have no clue, man. But Phil is the first step. Personally i dont think Lakers are so bad, man. I mean they can make the Play Offs with this roster and a decent coach. Mihm, Odom, Butler and Kobe are perfect for a triangle. We need a PG and some role players. Plus remember we will have an high draft pick, probably 10th. I dont know, i'm curious. We should select a PG and do 2-3 trades trying to get a good PF.
-
the Lakers aren't a playoff team for at least a couple of years, no matter what

dude shut up, Boozer didn't even live up to the expections of his major contract. They need a center that's for sure and some better role players because Chuckie and Butler aren't cutting it.
-
Well, Phil Jackson said that the current Laker team is better fit to play the triangle offense than any of the Laker teams he coached...So that gives Laker fans some hope, because Phil seems like the kind of guy who knows what he's talking about...If the Lakers can find a rythym with Phil Jackson then they can easily make the playoffs next year, even with their current roster...Remember, Lakers were a playoff team up until a month after Frank Hamblen took over...Phil can really turn things around for LA...Just look at what George Karl did for Denver...You just gotta have faith...PeACe

I thought you meant Phil from Eastenders

most good players dont want to play with ball hog bryant....there is no way in hell allen would ever do it....and shit after karl and gary took pay cuts up the ass and still didnt win i doubt others are willing to do that anymore
-

It's pretty sad that people still consider Kobe a ball-hog when he averages the most assists on his team and when it's been known that he would like for his teammates to start relying on him less and stepping up more... ::)
-
WATCH OUT FOR THE CLIPPERS, I EXPECT A HUGE HUGE OFFSEASON MOVE FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!

kobe is a ballhog. get over it.

I remember a game we've lost i think against Golden State. 5-6 seconds left. Ball to Kobe, Kobe to Walton for the last shot, Walton was scared to shoot, and he gives the ball back to Kobe. Time expires. And then they call Kobe a ball-hog! Mmmm.. ::)
-
kobe is a ballhog. get over it.
And Gilbert Arenas doesn't shoot enough... ::)
-
Trade Kobe...they could get 2, 3 good players for him. If u sign Phil Jackson he could maybe create a team that can play together and win, rather then a team with one superstar that wont win anytime soon.

Phil Jackson said the current Laker team is perfect to run the triangle offense, and you do realize that Kobe is a huge part of the current Laker team, right? That means that if Phil has any interest to coach the Lakers, he's interested in coaching the Lakers with it's current star player...Phil knows that Buss would never trade Kobe. So even though they had their differences, Phil and Kobe both want to win, and together they can achieve...

You didn't, but I never claimed that you said that...I was simply implying that bashing Kobe for being a ballhog with a Gilbert Arenas pic in your sig is a pretty ironic thing to do...Kobe is a scorer and a passer...A ballhog doesn't lead his team in assists.

Phil does want to trade Kobe. He doesn't however want to trade Odam because he likes Odam. But he does want to trade Kobe. He said it in his book that Kobe was uncoachable, he has said it in every interview he has done, plus Phil has some condition were he has weak feet and Kobe has thrown the basketball at Phil's feet to knock him down.

Oh i strongly disagree here. First of all that team was a Shaq team. So it was possible to trade Kobe and still be competitive, simply because of Shaq. This team doesnt have Shaq no more, so to trade Kobe is a stupid move. Plus consider Kobe knows triangle well, and he fits well in triangle. Shaq didnt. Shaq and Kobe didnt. Kobe and Odom probably will. IMO the Lakers doesnt have to trade Kobe. They should keep Kobe, Odom, Mihm, maybe Divac and try to move the rest of the roster to get a good PF/C and a decent PG (maybe from the draft).

well to clear it up, gil played for az and the shot against chicago was so similar to the shot salim took for the win against osu. thats why i have them in my sig. and gil does shoot too much imo and needs to egt the extra pass in a lot but hes still an outstanding player. as for kobe hes a phenominal player but i still think hes a ballhog.

LOL, so you're his new manager? Yes, he bashed him in his book, but are you forgetting that they co-existed for 5 years, and even won 3 championships together? And am I missing something, because I seriously don't remember Phil saying Kobe was uncoachable in any of his interviews, let alone "every interview he has done"...Keep bringing this board bullshit, because it's only making you look like one of those moronic Laker haters...PeACe

Yeah that's why one of the guys who interviewed Phll for ESPN Magazine who was on Jim Rome is Burning, and said that Phil told him exactly what I posted before.
Plus it's been said in every form of media that Phil thought Kobe was uncoachable.
You should start listening to the radio and watching TV to see the interviews so you know what people have said about this subject.

did u think Phil would say..."the current Laker team is shit, and im going to want to get rid of everyone if i get there"? lol The current Laker team is no where NEAR perfect for the triangle. I will give u this tho, a healthy Vlade is very good for the system. Kobe, if he gets his head strait as far as being more a team player, is good for it. Odom, is a good fit for it. But they DEFINETELY need some more shooters for the triangle. But, i still think getting rid of Kobe would be the best step the Lakers could take to improving the team. Sometimes talent isnt everything. And i just dont see Kobe winning. Like i said, unless his attitude gets better.
-
Phil said what he said...I'm not gunna come up with all these theorys as to what he thinks, I just know what he said...Lakers will never trade Kobe, end of story...Jerry Buss said he wouldn't trade Kobe for a team, a coach, and an arena...We'll see what the future holds for the Lakers...If history is any indication, they should be on the rise pretty soon...PeACe

phil wanted to trade kobe in the 2001 season. it says so in his book. phil thinks kobe is the best player in the league right now. dont bash me this is what he said. phil has always wanted to coach the best player in the league i.e. jordan shaq now kobe. thinks he can win a championship with kobe. first of all we need a pure 1. like a jkidd with some defense. we need a real powerforward. like a carlos boozer. i wish we couldve gotten one of those pf from denver. kenyon nene or camby. they have three. move odom to sf. i think mihm is fine at c if he could hold the ball better. theres rumors that lakers are going for kg. theyre going to try to trade up in the draft to get a better pick to fill the void of lamar odom. rodney peete from best damn sportshow period said he talk to isaiah thomas recently and asked him about phil. he said phil wasnt coming to ny anymore. so now its down to the lakers and kings. some insiders from clublakers are saying that everything is done with phil theyre just waiting on the announcement

Phil wants a piece of what ever team he goes to, meaning he wants to be part owner.

"Their current roster is not appealing at all," Jackson said. "It's obvious they have a roster that's limited because it's capped out. It's going to take a while to clean that up. They had performers that were paid big money that were incapable of performing.
"Brian Grant didn't earn his lunch money this year. Vlade didn't earn his lunch money this year. Those really hurt when that happened.
"They haven't got a lot of wiggle room to get better in a hurry. They underachieved this year. There's no doubt this team was much more talented than their record showed."

there is talk he might go to houston.

The former Los Angeles Lakers coach said he wouldn't necessarily mind taking on a rebuilding job.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2060501
-
^ The former Los Angeles Lakers coach betta sign with the Lakers and shut up. ;D
-
so whats the deal you guys think phil really come back cause if he does i bet we will be a hell of a lot better next season
-
I believe he will...
-
There are 2 things that a person shouldn't do in life, 1. get back together with an ex-girlfriend, and 2. go back to a former employer especially if it ended badly like the Phil-Laker situation did. This can only end badly if Phil goes back.
-
First of all,, kobe is one of the best scores in NBA history that's why he shoots alot
2nd you're actin like he leads the NBA in shot attempts per game,kobe finish 3rd this year ,iverson is the hot dog who always leads the NBA in shot attempts per game...
and kobe avg a career high in assist this past season,the only reason he didn't avg more is because his teammates suck!!!..and he still avg 6 assist per game
and chris mighm is not good for the triangle ,,he's to soft
and about Phil coming back ,,i would like to see it but like dude said, "you don't comeback t a old job"...but we'll see what happens..
i don't mind Flip sanders
-
What about Brown?
-
What about Brown?
well he has 3 years left in his contract...
plus his health is a big question mark..look at what sappostly happen to Rudy T..i think he got fired couse he's a bad coach,REALLY BAD COACH...
BACK to brown,the reason people are talkin about him been the Lakers coach is couse he has a house in malibu his wife is from malibu,and kobe likes brown
-
If you add the fact he's a great coach, well.. isnt it enought to wish he signs with the Lakers?
-
i think the lakers are fucked since shaq's big ass left the team. its ganna take new and young talent to help the lakers get back on their feet
-
I think Miami is fucked too, if Shaq doesnt play against Detroit.

I think Miami is fucked too, if Shaq doesnt play against Detroit.
Yea...Shaq is the reason for every team getting fucked.

Shit is pretty funny. Miami built the whole team around Shaq. They fucked their salary cap for the next years just to be in a win or die situation. You know, without Shaq it was impossible for them to be condenders for the title (maybe for the Eastern Conference title, but that's it!), now they are. But Shaq will be 34 next year. They got ridd of 2 of their best players, Odom and Butler, young players, and they agreed to pay Shaq a shitload of millions for the next years. Now immagine Miami getting eliminated by Detroit! lol. A real fucked up situation. At least the Lakers still have Kobe, and they have two pretty good young players in return, and they'll have a lot of salary cap space in just 2 seasons. Shit it's even possible they'll have an high draft pick! (Raymond Felton?).

i think the lakers are fucked since shaq's big ass left the team. its ganna take new and young talent to help the lakers get back on their feet

-
he'll tap dat azz no matter what, ya know that homie Phil
9 championships and still pimpin them bitchez, his old bosses daughter! that's gangsta
that fool gon' beat that pussy no matter, he just might get a couple million dollars for it depending on his decision
Jerry Buss: "Here Phil, here's $10 million, pleaze screw my daughter"
Phil Jackson: "Fo sho! gimme dat shit u punk! where dat pussy Jerry? gimme da answer ya bitch"
"I'ma have a porno and a playoff berth, gimme my money Jerry! ya know I showed her the best dick in Los Los"

I know,I'm a Lakers Fan,but i'm just saying is not easy getting superstars like kobe,if you could trade shaq and not trip because you got kobe,you done a good job if you're Dr.Buss...well actually Jerry Wesy discover kobe,so thanks Jerry West
