The Official 2015 NBA Free Agency/Off-Season Thread

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.

goddamn 48 wins would give me a half chub

one thing i think people forget is how good kemba was playing pre injury. he woulda been an all star. was playing the best ball of his career and was lethal at the end of games.

pick n roll with him and frank surrounded by a shooter and slashers....

just once i think I'm out, they suck me back in

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

The team already has the young talent/assets with cap space, and with Kobe retiring next season and the increase of the salary cap, Lakers are on the right path and moving up. They won't win much this season or be a factor come April time, but Lakers already have the long term strategy down to a T, just don't need to fukk it up by signing aging vets/average players to long term contracts or give up too many assets which leads to having none like before.

They are all on rookie scale contracts which in today's CBA is one of the most valuable assets to have. Randle, like most PF's are undersized these days anyways, he didn't even play last year, don't see why anyone should write him off already. He has the skills to be a real nice player, not sure how good he can be. Russell has potential to be one of the best players in the draft, and the tools to be a top PG imo. Clarkson showed he can play, will see if he can be a starter or 6th man off the bench. Plus, not really an asset yet but could be, Lakers snatched Robert Upshaw who went undrafted, who would have been a lottery pick if he didn't get kicked off of 2 colleges/other problems. Lakers had no assets at all last year, so its a miracle they have a semblance of it now.

Can someone explain to me what makes Julius Randle such an elite prospect? How did he land at #7 the way people talk about him he should of easily been #4...It seems like he became a better prospect on a broken leg.

draymond green is about to get a max contract but @Loose screws thinks being an undersized PF is a bad thing

Yeah I respect that none of that says why a player would go there maybe in 2-3 years y'all get noteworthy free agents to consider as of right now you would be overpaying 2nd tier players

Theirs a reason draymond green is the only one of his kind. Also he's always been a top tier defender Randle has never been in his career and that won't change

You're telling someone to stop trolling?

Julius randle is the only player in the league that can go coast to coast because he did it once in a preseason game

And Jordan clarkson is a future all star because he stat padded on an awful tanking team where he had the ball the most and horrible team mates
