2012 Los Angeles Lakers Thread

lakers may run deep into the playoffs now without kobe getting in their way

Seriously.... Stop trolling the Lakers thread, you don't like Kobe we get it. That doesn't mean asinine comments like this need to be made. Anyone who says the Lakers are a better team without #24 is either a Kobe hater, or a complete imbecile...

Oh and since we know the ball hog comments are coming, I'll throw this little nugget out there for the uneducated....

Kobe was averaging 6 assists per game, tying his career high, and also the highest since 2004-05....

I'm so ready for this Rockets game. I hope that Dwight can dominate in the paint and on the glass again. Our defense will need to be top notch again, because the Rockets offense is very good. Assuming Nash plays, who do you think will play as the starting SG? Meeks? Because I feel like I'd probably rather have Morris guarding Harden, although any of them will likely have a very tough down slowing him down.

you guys sound like you want the lakers to fail without kobe

So admitting that the team without Kobe probably isn't good enough to win in the playoffs is saying we want them to fail? Sounds like we are just realistic in our expectations....

Just ignore dudes like this. Let's just talk Lakers. Ignore the trolls.

With the results tonight, Lakers can end up anywhere from the seventh to the ninth seed. If they win vs Rox they are in and will play San Antonio as the seventh seed. A loss and a Utah loss they're the eighth and have to deal with OKC in the first round. A loss and a Utah win and they end up tied with Utah who owns the head to head tiebreaker, and they're on the outside looking in as the ninth seed....

Going to be a fun Wednesday night.....

Go Showtime!

    • 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
