Lakers off to a shocker

 

[nichj99]

My goodness the Knicks are awful!

3 starters couldn't put points on the board. Calderone had 11 and Melo an efficient 25.

Bad. Bad. Bad.

I couldn't think of any family friendly descriptions to get close enough

LA infront.... somehow.....

 

[Grindnation]

im at work but really wanted to watch this game =(, love watching the Lakers vs "good teams" even if they potentially get blown out theses are the games i like to see team chemistry or lack of it =).
watching the box score at work sucks =(

 

[ozballer23]

Kobe with 10 assists at the half.... yes 10!

 

[Grindnation]

15 assist ! woot woot, looked at the box score and nearly spewed my coffee =). And we are leading hahahaha
this will make my week if we win this!

 

[ozballer23]

looks like the Cavs have this one

 

[ozballer23]

17 assists, career high for kobe

 

[nichj99]

looks like the trades are starting to kick up again.

Rumors / Being discussed is a 3 team deal:
Brook Lopez to OKC
Lance Stephenson to BROOKLYN
Jarrett Jack / Jeremy Lamb to CHARLOTTE

I'd say Kendrick Perkins would have to be thrown in again to make the numbers work.

Looks like the Thunder are finally serious about putting together a title contender.

Charlotte have apparently signed off on the deal, but OKC & NETS are still hammering out details. MJ must really want Lance gone to rubber stamp it that fast

Lakers ain't doing squat.....

I have two answers:

1) Looks like we are gonna take the same approach in free agency. Go big or Go home.

2) We don't exactly have the best assets to swing for (admittedly, surely we could have given a better package for Waiters)

I did read today that Jordan Farmar is getting waived and the Lakers are considering signing him. I like Farmar, a lot actually - but I don't see this as a difference maker in the slightest.

He is good, but like you say, won't help us contend. I say let's wait for westbrook and love and throw maxies at them lol

lol. plan works in theory - but first we need attractive assets (Houston acquired those draft picks, then got Harden - then Dwight came). Our most attractive piece has played a career 1 game and a total of 10 minutes. Gonna have to do a lot more yet.

Give em everyone but kobe, we'll draft the rest....

assuming they want them i know there's a few players on the roster i cringe at when ever they touch the ball (kelly, sacre)

You gotta love the Sac. Lol. Keep Hill I reckon, move Lin, Nash and Boozer, surely someone would take those "quality" players....

I like Hill, but I think if i had to pick, I'd choose Ed Davis (as long as we had a quality C to play next to him... *draft okafor lol*).

Nash and Lin are expiring deals, otherwise they are worthless IMO. (sorry to any Lin fans on here reading, he's a good 6th man but not a starter!). Boozer is another one I can't stand. He's so washed up. On a contender he'd be getting half the minutes he is now.
