We'll be in the playoffs, just gotta keep winning these games against teams like the Bobcats.

So I don't get it. Are you from LA or just a bandwagon Laker douche? If you're from here and are hocking the Lakers you're a sell out dude.

If Howard does go, the Cap Space stays.

Win.

Exactly, you guys are acting like Howard leaving is going to make the Lakers irrelevant for years, like they won't be able to attract marquee free agents. Sorry guys but if Howard isn't under contract the Lakers will have a completely empty roster in 2014. They'll sign two max players then, and make sure they have enough for Love in '15....

No Phil Jackson + Kobe = less attractive

LeBron is the target in I believe '14? Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Kemba is a gamer and it's going to be fun to watch him lead this team into the future. The question is at what point is the roster slate completely swiped clean of guys like Diop, Thomas and Gordon who are killing the cap number and providing little to nothing for this team.

At this point, I trust Ron Rivera late in a game more than I do Mike Dunlap. The way this team crumbles under pressure with comfortable leads night-in and night-out is ridiculous. It's like they're told to lose the game in the fourth quarter to get more ping-pong balls in the lottery. It's like at some point it hits them that they're up on a team like the Lakers comfortably and they go completely away from everything that made them successful up to that point in the game.

This is rebuild year 1 following deconstruction year 1, and though the team is more competitive, the inability to close out games is a concern that I fear will follow this team no matter how far it goes if it doesn't get stopped now.

Rivera > Dunlap ? HELL NO!

Dunlap is doing his job. Grooming these kids into men. Cho and MJ are paying him to tank the next couple years. He's losing games bc thats his job to.

Chico is pathetic

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
