2012 Los Angeles Lakers Thread


Kevin Greene

Gasol has made it clear he wants to play where his status is more stable. I think a feasible trade would be with MIN where he could play with fellow Spaniard Ricky Rubio and in turn we get back UCLA alumn Kevin Love.

I will never say never when it comes to Mitch, but I'm not sure if we could do a Gasol for Love swap. It would be amazing if we could, although I would miss Gasol a bunch.

Love was hurt this entire season, his value is nowhere near what it was before the start. Also he's made it known that he has no intention of staying in MN long term if they don't make a playoff push, so while unlikely, it wouldn't be entirely shocking to me.....

If Pau is moved, personally I'd rather go for bad expiring contracts paired with 1st round draft picks.

In 2014 the Lakers will have virtually no contracts on the books unless Dwight signs long term.

We'll need youth, and have a total salary cap number to spend in the FA market.

I still can't get over this Kobe injury though... hard to think about basketball right now, but it looks like we're going to be signing Andrew Goudelock.

Drew Goudelock has been lighting it up in D League...was on the D League All Star team. It will be nice to see the guy hopefully get some playing time.

Yeah I was always a fan of Mini Mamba and wasn't happy when we kept Morris over him (or CDR for that matter).

Sucks for Kobe, but works out great for Laker haters who can somehow use a Players ruptured Achilles to try and twist a knife in Laker Fans backs.

You stay classy as always.

The butthurt is strong with this one. My point was that your excuse for LeBron winning last year was that Derrick Rose was hurt. Now I bet it will Kobe being hurt.

I would have been much much happier with Kobe and the Lakers losing in the playoffs with him being on the court.

so I actually watched some of this game last night...someone please tell me how the hack a Dwight isn't an intentional foul every time? if the refs called it as such, my understanding is they'd get shots and the ball??? been a while since I've watched much NBA. it's fricken embarassing to watch when some idiot runs all the way down the floor to grab Dwight.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
