THIS.

How does that one signing entail an "A" for the entire off-season?

Beside Kobe shooting too much, Gasol playing "soft," and Bynum being disinterested, what is the main criticism of these Lakers: they don't have a strong PG. Despite the fact that he's in his late 30s and can't play a lick of defense, this is a significant upgrade over Fisher and Sessions.

The offseason is all about improving your team for the next season. Different teams have different expectations and goals for the upcoming season. The Lakers' goal is to win another championship. Whoever did this grading obviously thinks this signing will make that a very real and legitimate possibility. And I don't know if I can disagree with them. It's arguable they improved their team more than anybody else by signing one player.

Now that I got that objective response out the way, fukk the Lakers. This old mafukka ain't gon' change nothing. Still going out in the 2nd round. :pacspit:

OKC's grade should have been a B-; just like the Heat and the Knicks. Knikka definitely a Western Conference lover.

I always find it funny that in these grades hardly anyone ever gets an A or below a C
LOL at the heat getting a B or whatever, after just winning the ship.... and adding Jesus and Rashard.... :smh:

just got a text from David Stern saying "the NBA off season has not been completed yet" which means that some of these teams are NOT finished with transactions quite yet


while true that the Dwight Howard situation has been a detriment to the Magic off season thus far, they can salvage it by trading him for Kevin Durant, which would be a pretty good return for Howard, league sources say



:pachaha:

The D (where it's so cold)
I would have gave the Pistons a C personally for the overall basketball operations but getting rid of Gordon was such a great move I'm not mad at a B.

The Mavs with a B is a bit surprising.

Exactly They were attempting to get Dwight and dwill got neither and turned into a borderline playoff team after already sacrificing a chance to repeat , yet that gets a higher grade than the Knicks and heat who beefed up playoffs teams :stopitslime:
