Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace next year: $47.5 million. LeBron, Wade, Bosh: $52 million Kobe, Gasol, Bynum: $63.3 million..

Yeah yall right, Pau isn't better.....He just averaged more rebounds, assists, blocks, had a higher PER and shot better from the field than Bosh...

Id be lying if i said I wasn't a bit underwhelmed

Waiting for Dwight?

 

[tone wone]

Doesn't make it a great signing unless they flip Bynum for Dwight and/or Pau for Josh Smith. Them 2 slow ass 7 footers aint the business with Nash running point.

Howard
Smith
A nikka who can shoot
Kobe
Nash

Lineup probably aint realistic but thats the starting 5 they should shoot for.

Nice pick up, but we still need some more pieces.

-2 shooters coming off the bench.
-1 to 2 more Defensive type players.

might as well flip bynum for dwight and go for the jugular since we seem to be in win now mode.

So question for Lakers fans:

Who took a bigger L when trying to negotiate with the Lakers, Trevor Ariza or Ramon Sessions?

Sessions, only if he wanted his first ring. If it was for money then

Yep, I REALLY like that move now! Nash is functional enough offensively that his liability on defense can be overlooked. If we do trade for Dwight I want to keep Gasol and play him at the high post exclusively.

Nash
Bean
MWP
Pau
Dwight

Blake
Goudelock
Ebanks?/Barnes
Hill?
????

Just get a big body in here to take some backup Center minutes and I think we have a nice squad. I wouldn't mind Nazr Mohammed from OKC, where did he end up signing?

I'd be shocked if the Lakers brought back Barnes.

Hill is more likely to stay now, but I'm still thinking he's gone.

McRobert's is still on the roster and he'll actually thrive with Nash.

Not sure if Ebanks is gonna stay either.

If the reports of the Lakers trying to sign Grant Hill are true Metta is probably gone.

Steve Nash Trade: Grant Hill Could Follow To Los Angeles

The trade that will bring Steve Nash to the Los Angeles Lakers could play a major role in also bringing former Phoenix Suns teammate Grant Hill to the Staples Center.

Sources told ESPN.com that Nash will make a strong push to convince his close friend to join him in Los Angeles, and two other recent reports suggest it's all but certain that Hill will head for SoCal:

Hill had already listed the Lakers as one of four finalists as recently as last weekend;
Hill recently returned from Germany to undergo the same platelet-rich plasma therapy treatment on his knee that Kobe Bryant underwent earlier in his career.

Hill, 39, has never won an NBA title. With the Lakers now ranking among the serious contenders in the 2012-13 NBA season, this could be his best and final opportunity to get a ring before he retires.

guys.... this is the start.. we always re-tool

here's the thing, NOW that nash is in LA... Dwight might just be more interested in LA cuz now there's a true PG running the show so he wont have to worry about kobe dominating the ball ... ya this could be the start of something really major...

that's my point guard you talkin' about!
