And said another executive: "They just need one big guy to go there, and the rest will follow. I expect [Russell] Westbrook and [James] Harden to join forces there when they become free. It definitely still has allure. It's still L.A., and they are still the Lakers. No free agent can question whether or not they will spend the money to win titles."


Westbrook is not eligible to become a free agent until 2016, while Harden isn't a free agent until 2018.

dumbest article/executive of all time.

breh we won 30 last year with a fukkton of injuries, lance the cancer, our coach going through an episode of What Dreams May Come, and Marvin Williams as our go-to shooter

i'm gonna need you to stop fronting like you're a dirty kings or knicks fan

Clifford is back fyi

42-40 isn't exactly awful. doesn't mean we're gonna be 50 wins good. is 42 wins supposed to be bad?

35-42 wins is pretty realistic. what do you think we're looking at realistically speaking?

I think our roster is better than when we were in the playoffs two years ago. Al's playing for his CONtract and won't be fat/hurt. Everyone's gonna be working to bounce back from last year. All this shooting is gonna do amazing shyt for Kemba/MKG/Al. Batum is smart enough to hit the breaks on what's usually our YOLOguard spot and he can create too. I'm cool sacrificing some defense to get our offense out of the cellar. We can't bank on holding teams under 92 points every night in this league anyway.

i have never disagreed that we'll be better

i just think we're going all in on a 7 or 8 seed and sacrificing future assets

what do you think is a realistic win total this year?

48 or more. A lot of it depends on Kemba and whoever the backup PG is. We really are gonna need a distributor off the bench with our general lack of ballhandling. Mo ain't the answer.

Anyone want to come to Toronto?

In an interview on The Jim Rome Show on Tuesday, Russell made his sales pitch to the veteran power forward:

“Man, who doesn’t want to be in L.A., starting with that. The franchise is on the come up, they’ve been so spoiled with winning around here, losing is not an option,” Russell said. “I mean Portland, he played well, they played well as a team, they made some strides, but L.A., just me being out here for these few days, these few months I was before, there’s nothing like it. A lot of guys want to be here, a lot of guys live here in the summer, so many faces here that you play on the Lakers you are already at the top of the crop of all the people that live here.”

Russell out here recruiting FA's already.

[Loose]

" the teams suck you want win dhit, but the nightlifes cool" basically what it says

 

[NatiboyB]

The Knicks would be a good fit for him he is still talented and they will have a lack of athletic ability...

but I most likely see him going to Washington.
