Lakers offseason thread: Renovation era

[H.J.Duck]

I'm not sure if I wan't that Bynum for Howard deal to happen anymore... I'm not really a fan of JRich/Turkoglu and the fact that we'd have to give Magic future drafts picks too. I just don't know....


Not to mention, Bynum actually did just have his best individual season (if we look @ JUST stats) despite the fact that he acted like a bytch. But then again, it ain't like Dwight is really that much tougher mentally either... and I hate all the fake funny shyt he does


we gotta do something though & that deal would change things. But I really don't even know what I want to happen

I'm not about to get my hopes up on any deal being made.

it's a risk either way, but if we lose bynum and DH, we'd have a lot of cap room to sign new free agents/do big trades

this is LA, we always re-tool and who the fukk wouldn't wanna live here? I'd pick this city over any in America

Dwight dont want to play wit kobe

Its not the lakers

You can thank the "Mamba" and his selfish attitude for that

Also the lakers will have to take back hedo or another contract and they will have kobe,dwight,pau,artest and hedo makin 86 million

The Lakers had been on Howard’s initial list of three preferred teams – along with Brooklyn and Dallas – but eventually dropped off. Part of the reason has been the frayed relationship between Howard and Kobe Bryant. Those two stars had a contentious phone conversation over a year ago about Howard’s potential offensive role with the Lakers, sources said, and there’s been an uncertainty between both about how they would co-exist on the floor.

Nevertheless, Bryant and Howard do have history together with Team USA, and there’s a belief among those who know them that the bond of chasing a title would ultimately bring them together.

“They would fight for the first week of training camp, and then be best buddies by the start of the preseason games," one league source who knows both Bryant and Howard well told Yahoo! Sports. "They need each other to win.”

^^ if them fools wanna win they'd kiss and make up

I think if Mamba hopped on the phone and welcomed D12 with open arms this would be a done deal

Don't really give a fukk what a player on another team, who can't decide what he wants to eat probably without flip-flopping thinks about playing with Kobe.

Kobe got us 5 championships, one of them against Dwight himself.

I'm telling you. The only way Dwight would have went to the Lakers is if CP3 is there. He knows paul would keep him happy in an offense and gave him touches. Without a real, savvy PG...a relationship with Dwight andKobe can't work. Plus what happens when Kobe is done in two years. Its rebuild all over again. Dwight should not waste years of his prime like Hakeem did from 24-30, it was depressing as Rockets fan to see him waste those years.
