You get your sold, Amy outs Tim, you lose your 1st 5th, Tim gets joint custody of his proxy's kids, Tim loses $25 million and the Clippers tear you a brand new one. And aside from some old in Phoenix nobody notices.Laker fans hoping with all their heart that a PG can save their broken franchise that has literally been the laughing stock of the league since the Spurs swept them in the first round
Just shows to go ya.

It could be worse....
21-61
Giving back an NBA le is the worst.
21-61 > Making it to and losing a Game 7 of the NBA Finals ????
You'll have to explain that one to me...
& your Bryant has done it twice.
They were selling your is explanation enough.
They were selling your .
And I'll have to live with that. (God knows you won't let me/us forget it) I've come to peace with that Demon Cubby, but I'll take another bite of that sammich. We blew it...one of the biggest choke jobs in NBA history.
Now let's talk about this 21-61.
They were hawking your merchandise. Then, Bryant thought he was a big shot. Nuh, uh.
What do you want me to say that I haven't said already? We've disgraced ourselves from the FO to the everyday game play. We've played musical chairs with the coaching when there was absolutely no need for it. We've made complete fools of ourselves and we've reaped what we've sown. The alarming part? We ain't hit bottom yet.
No. They were actually selling your '13 NBA le gear on the television. What you're talking about for us is projection. What I'm talking about happened, it's reality.
I like this Cub a lot better...
Now if we could somehow get you to 75% Duncan is a , losing your 1st fifth, and Amy posts.....and 25% posts like the one you just made. You'd quickly become my favorite Lakers fan who posts here. At least you have the courage to admit the bad times....and that is a trait that is very rare 'round these parts.
great postWe drafted the purest basketball player in the draft. If the money is right, I foresee free agents coming to the Lakers to play with this kid.
We also got a summer league commitment from Robert Upshaw.
Recap: we have D'Russell and Upshaw. Upshaw will make the team. Before his "issues" he was considered a 1st rounder. D'Russell + Upshaw > drafting Okafor...and these two "fit" with Randle and Clarkson.
Million dollar question: will the Lakers develop these young players? I hope so.
to be fair russell turned out to be a much better pick than oak
“I foresee Free Agents coming to the Lakers to play with this kid”
Who would’ve thought the kid is a snitch
You chicken for this!
You chicken for this!
God damn, Fernando; the LkrFan curse strikes again.
On a side note, I didn't foresee how PGs (or pseudo PGs, ex Harden) have become the most important position in the league (by far). 2015 was still about wings and bigs (to an extent).
3 best players in the league are still wings tbh.
Harden isn't a pg in the typical sense, you kind of noted that anyway.
But the real reason I was going to post
Robert Upshaw
It's still all about dynamic two-way wings, tbh. Traditional point guards are strictly for the regular season. The only exception to the rule might be Alphabrook if Presti ever gets serious about building a real team around him. And Curry, since even when he has his usual playoff disappearing acts, he's still carrying Durbeta by giving him wide open shots due to the gravity he creates.
This is the biggest misconception about today's NBA: that it is a PG's league. Not it isn't son. It is a wing's league.
8 of the top 15 players per RPM are PGs (they are also the majority in every other advanced stat category you can think of). The really only successful "wing" player since the Warriors took hold of the league has been Lebron, and he plays more like a PG than anything else (Warriors aren't built around Durant, they're built around Curry. He is still the primary catalyst for that entire offense). PGs have become the most important position in the game because the pick-and-roll is the most dangerous offensive set in the game, and the pick-and-roll centers around ball handling and passing, two PG centric skills. Then add into that the ability to shoot from distance off the dribble (Curry, Harden, Lilliard, etc) for further impact. And you know who has been arguably Boston's most important player in their run following all the injuries? PG Terry Rozier. The primary wings on the Celtics are having less game impact than Aron Baynes, despite the decent per game stats.
