Honestly the main reason I'd want either Bynum or Pau to go is to free up more room for Kobe on the block. As long as he's on the team we know he's going to be a ball dominator so why not use him to his best ability. They need some sharp shooters as well that can knock down a three.

People have a warped view when it comes to Pau Gasol. Part of it is his fault, but still. Pau Gasol is an elite player in this league who's not only willing to play second fiddle, but third if necessary.

one thing you gotta learn bout lakers they pull moves no one can i know we all say Dwight and D-will but mitch the don brewing something behind the scenes

They do shyt on the low too. The problem is a lot of teams actively work against the Lakers. Look at how salty the other Owners got after the CP3 deal. Mitch actually picked up an elite player AND freed up cap space at the same time.

The main thing hurting this team is the new CBA. That shyt instantly became a problem for the Lakers.

This.

And I hope Mitch's idea of sharpshooters this off-season doesn't consist of bums like Jason Kapono and Troy Murphy.

For awhile Kapono WAS considered a sharp shooter.

Murphy actually shot better than anyone else on the team from the perimeter (41%) Mike Brown just didn't give him many opportunities. Dude is also a complete liability on the defensive end.

If we can't get no big trades, we gotta get FA's like Nick Young, Sam Young, JJ Hickson, Jarreyd Bayless, Alonzo Gee, Jamal Crawford? We need shooters on deck ASAP

If we can't trade anyone, than we need to get some really good players and shooter in FA for cheap. We still got the trade exception, and we can still try to get Beasley. We gots the worst bench in the game and gotta improve that ASAP, and our perimeter shooting is terrible. Teams always double our Big 3 and force our other players to hit those perimeter shots and they can't hit shyt. I think Jordan Hill can be a good tradable piece, but yea other than that, we don't have anyone else, and we got stupid fukk Mike Brown as out coach for the foreseeable future. Right now how are roster is, we are still a top 3-4 team in the West, but the Thunder are gonna be a road block for us in the playoffs, and the younger teams like the Grizzles and going to get better. But, we the Lakeset LWO breh, we get what we want, when we want up in this bytch. :shaq:

we will always re-tool it just sucks we got cockblocked last year by stern for cp3

i think we should be doing everything we can to get dwill, get an elite PG, and other players will flock to wanna play with him + be in LA, everyone loves Socal/wants to live here

get Dwill and we might get dwight to come too, and even though he's gone down in my book and is a bit of a primadonna, he's still way better than bynum's headcase ass

just get pau and bynum off my team, someone sit kobe down and ask him to lead and not jack up 20+ shots a game and get ron ron to get off the 3pt line and play more in the block , and yes definitely get a few shooters who are consistent and we're good

i just laughed at how simple i made that sound, obviously the lakers team has serious problems, here's hoping for some blockbuster trades to spark some excitement
