To the very delusional person who keeps coming up with these fanciful off season scenarios.

Are you the same person who keeps posting the same Inane, totally fictional, completely personic fairy tales. Where the Lakers get the world and give up scrubs nobody would touch?

You clearly have NO idea about any aspects of a basketball organisation. The Lakers will be getting nothing and no one of note for Pau. You also have no room under the salary cap to pick up ANY one half decent. Face it the lakers are doomed for the near future due to gross mismanagement, you have no one to blame but an incompetent front office for your current predicament

if the lakers have the chance to sign and trade howard for griffin and bledsoe and do not do the deal they are crazy. i hope he walks and they don t get anything for him. with the ownership and management they have now i doubt they will ever recover.

15 Jun 2013 16:46:12

If I was the Lakers GM the 1st thing I'll do is sign D12"if not no worries 2014 around the corner"2nd sign Earl Clark lots of potential 3rd keep GASOL, MWP too much leverage at trading deadline, plus 2014 around the corner 27mil or more too sign max player. Relax Lakers Fans where not the clippers, Miami, Boston, etc "Dynasty, Dynasty, Dynasty "

I agree, LA fans need to relax. We'll be okay this time next year. If the Spurs win it all this year there will be an unprecedented amount of player movement this summer. Fans will force playoff teams to improve their rosters. But if the Heat win I think fans will give teams time to rebuild over the next few years. If the Heat are the Jordan's Bulls then it is smarter for teams to stay as close to the salary cap as possible until they can compete again.

14 Jun 2013 20:05:30
We should get rid of as much of the salary as we can, do bad next season, draft andrew wiggins and sign either lebron or Paul george

14 Jun 2013 00:51:52
Paul George is coming to us baby!

Paul George is a turnover machine. He's not worth a max contract in my opinion. I think the Lakers are in a good place. Fans just need to give Jimmy Buss time to rebuild. The CP3 deal was a setback but it wasn't Jimmy's fault. And I do think MDA's system is the right system for Howard because it spreads the floor. The only problem is the Lakers didn't have the right peaces this year. If we get a stretch 4 we'll be fine. If we could get Brooklyn to send trade us Mirza Teletovic for Chris Duhon that might do the trick.

How are you going to get George when anything you offer will be matched. Cool story though

13 Jun 2013 20:17:05
Is chris paul going to the lakers

Never in a million years

12 Jun 2013 03:10:44
The Lakers are in the best situation possible here's why first if D12 don't sign with the lakers they can sign-n-trade him for someone good&draft pick "younger" then wait 4 "2014" THE LAKERS ORG. IS A CHAMPIONSHIP ORG. THEY ALWAYS GET GREAT PLAYERS

Lakers 2013-14 Roster Should Be sth Like This

1) CP3 / Blake
2) Kobe / Mayo
3) Ariza / Korver
4) Smith / Clark
5) D12 / Hill

And Some Other Reserves

More Importantly The Head Coach Should Be GEORGE CARL

Are we allowed to do a sign and trade being a team over the cap?

(Heard Houston is going after CP3 and Howard)

If so,

Lakers sign and trade: Dwight and Earl Clark to Houston

Houston gives: Asik and Harden

Problem is that the money probably won't match up. If it is financially possible, you guys think Houston would be giving up too much here?

They're not giving up harden. They want harden to go along with Howard and/or Paul

Lakers r not getting hardin other players if D12 get sign-n-trade

We should try to pick up devin Harris if he's not expensive

06 Jun 2013 03:07:38
Try to reduce the cap as much as possible, and then in the 2014 season try to go after Paul George or lebron james

No to both. George is a turnover machine and lacks some fundamental skills. As for Lebron I hope not but he might linked to the PED clinic in Miami. This time next year Lebron might be damaged goods. Stern isn't running and hiding for nothing.

05 Jun 2013 18:58:42
Lakers should if possible sign D12 if not sign CP3 if they sign Cp3 trade or amnesty Steve nash, keep P. Gasol sign Jamerson, Clark, keep meeks, keep MWP, the reason why you keep players with only 1 year left on contract they "ALL WAYS PLAY BETTER THAT YEAR then 2014 Kobe& gasol take pay cut then go after a star player or players in 2014

I think they should try to get jimmer fredette. He would fit well with the mike dantoni style offense

01 Jun 2013 00:55:42
If Howard decides to re-sign which I'm not sure I want him to. The Lakers front office should get Pacers, Knicks, Bulls, Warriors, Nuggets, Rockets, and Heat all on a conference call and say "we are trading Gasol send us your best offer within the next 72 hours and it must include a first round draft pick OR an expiring contract. "

And the goal should be to send him east but I believe the west might come through with better offers to add leverage.

31 May 2013 17:26:54
I think lakers roster should be some like this

1) CP3 / Nash (or blake)
2) Kobe / Mayo
3) MWP / Korver
4) Josh Smith / Clark
5) D12 / Hill
And Some Other Bench Players (not so important)

I Really Like This and its not Unbelievable

Lakers FIRE MIKE DANTONI AND HIRE PHIL JACKSON.

Resign MEEKS, Clark, Jamison

Waive MWP, DUHON

Trade Pau for any stretch four or five
and one or two first round picks

I don't want Phil back and I think Howard will fit better in MDAs system than the triangle. The problem with MDAs system last year was injuries and the Lakers lack of shooters.

28 May 2013 05:00:55
I just was wondering how our season would of gone if the Chris Paul trade went through.
Imagine Paul/Bryant/Howard!
Then next season we would sign LeBron!
Paul
Bryant
MWP
James
Howard
Then we would get a lot of vet's signing for the min to play on this team.

Then next season we would sign LeBron!
Paul
Bryant
Harrison Barnes/Chandler Parsons
James
Howard

28 May 2013 04:28:43
Everyone is freaking out and thinking that this is rebuilding time. It's the lakers. They will get this figured out. Everyone needs to calm down because everyone knows the lakers will be star-stutted lineup.

25 May 2013 04:06:16
How about Paul George to L. A. in 2014?

Comments?

George would be nice. I think people are underestimating Mitch and Jimmy Buss. No matter what Howard does the Lakers will be in good shape. No player is bigger than the organization.

24 May 2013 11:21:08
Gasol was a top 10 big years ago huh? More like two years ago

tinyurl.com/ngb8bwr

Lol please no, unless its for the min

22 May 2013 03:38:13
Can we get Bynum back?

21 May 2013 13:56:07
If Howard decides to leave I think Lakers are better off letting contracts expire. In 2014 the Laker lineup pg, Kobe, Melo, PF and Gasol. I don't think Melo will stay with the Knicks after the way new york media has treated him. No good allstar type caliber play will want to stay in new york after being pounded by the media over and over.

Melo would be a terrible fit in the Lakers. He has nothing to offer but isolation plays for himself. We already have an Isolation player in Kobe. Might as well spend the money on a team player.

Face it.

We will have the same roster next season. Jim Buss is killing this franchise. It's rubbish, I know. Highly doubt Kobe will get his 6th due to Jim Buss and his huge Ego.

Steve Nash/Steve Blake/Darius Morris/Chris Duhon
Kobe Bryant/Andrew Goudlelock
Metta World Peace/Earl Clark
Pau Gasol/Antwan Jamison
Dwight Howard/Jordan Hill

They only possible moves that Jim Buss may make would be moving possibly Jordan Hill. Maybe signing another hopefully useless point guard.

The roster I'd like too see assembled

Patty Mills/Steve Nash/Andrew Goudlelock
Nick Young/Ronnie Brewer/Kobe Bryant *injured*
Trevor Ariza/Kyle Korver
Pau Gasol/Earl Clark
Dwight Howard/Ryan Hollins

Jim Buss didn't bring Phil back and as it turns out sounds like the right move. So let's give Jim a chance and see what he does this offseason.

17 May 2013 02:44:03
Dear Mr. Jim Buss,

Phil has written another book. Don't bring him back to the Lakers. That's all.

Lakers Fan

I finally understand why Dr Buss turned the team over to Jim and not Jeanie. It came through loud and clear.

1. Phil has written not one but two books where Kobe is referenced all through the book. Regardless whether or not Phil is correct in his assessment, it is unacceptable for him to write these books in the first place.

2. The fact that Jeanie wasn't able to stop Phil from doing this a second time means she would have no control over Phil if she were running the team.

3. Say what you want about MDA but I don't think he would ever in a million years write a book about Steve Nash. I think MDA has too much respect for his players to do that.

4. It was also unacceptable for Phil to texting Howard during the season. I hope Howard is smart enough to not be blinded by the 11 rings and realize Phil would probably write his next book about him.

Since media people are too stupid to call Phil out for this I hope owners keep him out of basketball. The relationship between player and coach has to begin with trust.

Finally, I hope this backfires on Phil and Laker fans say "enough is enough". Kobe deserves better!

I agree maybe Phil was not the man for the Job. Flip Saunders or Brian Shaw should have this position

Kobe and the Lakers should be done with Phil. Why would Phil bring up the Colorado incident in his new book? That's just wrong no matter how you slice it. Winning 11 championships does not give anyone a free pass to stop being a decent human-being. If Kobe has anything else to do with Phil, not only is he "surrounded by a bunch of persons", he is the person.

Biggest comparison between Kobe and Jordan is Jordan was smart enough to keep Phil at a distance after their championship run. If you notice Jordan still doesn't have much to do with Phil.

Kinda sounds like Phil is getting a little backlash from LA fans after writing this book. LA fans let Phil slide with the first book but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen with this one.

I will boycott every program Phil is on talking about his book. I don't know if it's true but rumors in LA are the reason everything fell apart with Phil returning to the team had to do with the release of his book. I don't know if this is true but supposedly Jim Buss told Phil he couldn't release the book if he returned to coach the Lakers and Phil refused and that's when everything fell apart. I'm not a big fan of Jim but I agree with him about the book.

Phil is full of it. "Kobe is like a son to me". Most parents don't go around writing books about their kids. Kobe was just a means to an end for Phil. Phil only cares about Phil. The fact that Phil talked about his own daughter in the book without telling her tells you what type of person he is. I hope Kobe realizes this and moves on.

These are Phil's own words "Kobe is sensitive. " Well if Phil knows this then my question is why would you write 2 books about the guy. Phil brings too much drama and I wouldn't want that for Howard.

15 May 2013 17:53:15
Please make a way for this!

PG : Rubio, Billups, Vasquez
SG : Bryant, DeRozan
SF : Terrence Ross, Terrence Williams
PF : Josh Smith, Taj Gibson
C : Amar'e Stoudemire, Hill

07 May 2013 17:20:16
COuld the lakers sign Chris Paul, Keep Dwight Howard, and Keep Paul Gasol if Kobe takes a 10 million per year pay cut?

Kobe is still under contract so they can't really cut his a pay until its up. they can amnesty him but they wouldn't and they shouldn't.

rdp2401

Amnesty Kobe and make a coach for a year. He would still get his 30. This would show team matters.

04 May 2013 13:58:28
People assume Howard will sign with Houston if the doesn't sign with the Lakers. But don't count Dallas out because Rick Carlise is a coach that I believe Howard would love to play for.
