pau & socks gotta go.

keep mike brown.



only keeps are kobe & ron. also dont mind if we keep blake as a backup.

Pretty much, this entire team is expendable. With an aggressive playmaker at the point the offense wouldn't be an issue and we could focus on defense like brown wants.

But I'd much rather Monty Williams be coaching this team if we were going to keep going the young coach route, he seem realer than brown's goofy ass.

Let's keep it fonky like James Brown's sweatsocks, for all you dudes trying to move Bynum, outside of Kobe, he's the reason you guys didn't stop at round 1 in a game 7 loss to the Nuggets, in fact, he balled out during the playoffs and commanded double and triple teams. He should be untouchable. Honestly, I would deal Pau, for picks and some good role players, they need the cap space more than anything close to equal value, with that extra money you can potentially make a play for Deron Williams. Either way the number one goal is to move Gasol and get cap space, maybe trade him to the Bobcats for Biyombo (underrated defender) + picks. The Bobcats have a good scorer and some relevance and the Lakers have money, win-win.

In his exit interview, Metta World Peace was asked about coach Mike Brown.

Compared to Phil Jackson, he said, it was a "drastic change."

But then World Peace went to some trouble, apparently to make clear he was not blaming his coach for the Lakers' playoff departure.

"Mike wasn't out there guarding Kevin [Durant]," he explains. "That was me. Kevin scored on me. Mike didn't miss that 3-point shot. I missed it. Mike didn't come into camp out of shape."

Then he paused.

"Wait ... he did come in out of shape. Mike is a fat ass."

Anybody talking about trading Bynum AND Pau is being overly emotional and overreacting.

If I was confident that the Lakers could get consistent perimeter scorers for a reasonable price I wouldn't even worry about trading either of them. As it is though there's no way to get a solid PG, back up SG or SF without giving up Pau or Bynum.

I'm still hesitant to trade Bynum because he's shown he can be dominate and he's still young enough that he'll hopefully mature. Pau is more versatile but he disappears sometimes and is much older.

And maybe Mike Brown does need to be gotten rid of, none of the players seem to respect him. Every player besides Kobe, Blake, and young guys have taken shots at him publicly.
