It has nothing to do with hate. The man said the Lakers should have Kobe sit out the whole year, what the fukk is the point in having him if you not gonna use him? You want a 20 win roster in hopes of striking lottery gold and free agency gold in 2014, when you can amnesty Kobe free up some money and atleast field a competive team.

Pau Gasol makes $19 on his own. Not including Nash, MWP, Blake, Hill, Duhon, the rest of the bench, Kobe alone isn't the difference between cap space (barely having it at that) and not having cap space.
and why would Utah trade for Pau when they could either just re-up Al or let Favors start?
Breh, cutting Kobe makes no difference and it's an expiring contract. Especially given all the money the Lakers made OFF of Kobe it'd be disrespectful as fukk to just cut him like that imo and that's not even on some stan shyt that's just real.
shyt just sounds stupid no matter how you slice it. If there were a plethora of free agents this offseason and Gasol's contract wasn't on the books you might have an argument but even then that would be an extremely controversial move that I doubt the Lakers would risk.
That still only 40 mill in cap space. That's 18 mill left . They can trade Gasol for something, he and like everybody else only got 1 year on the books, they can dump those.
If he don't want to play there any more they can do it. They can flip Gasol at the deadline or whatever.
And it's not disrespectful to ask him to sit out so you can tank the season, Not only is it disrespectful it's illegal.

You still want Dwight back right? The only way you'd get more space is if you renounce his rights completely.
and the Lakers without Dwight would be at $47 mil with no Kobe, Dwight, or Earl Clark and only 6 players under contract. You do the math.
I don't want Dwight that's why i'm trying to flip Pau for Jefferson
Another day, and mike woatoni is still head coach. 
I dunno about yall, but I'd welcome Dwight back if it meant he gets rid of that scum coaching our team.

What if they fire Mike and get Lionel?

We'd be one step closer to looking like we give a fukk again. Everything can still be salvaged to at least send Kobe off right but its gonna take a year or two to fix things but gettin rid of the scum is by the far the most important step to getting on the right path.
So UnThotful
Superstar
Earl Clark coming back?
Whoever we draft is gonna be trash but somehow teams below us or slightly above us manage to draft players that contribute right away. I guess that's what happens when Jimmy hires bartenders to be scouts.
Calm down brehs
We the GOAT franchise and organization for a reason
I look at it like this....It all started in 1949 as the Minneapolis Lakers right?:
1949-1956, we had George Mikan as our Superstar player and we did our thang until he retired.
1957 and 1958, for 2 years we just stayed above water
1959-1974 we acquired our next Superstar players....Elgin Baylor in 59, Jerry West in 61, Gail Goodrich in 66, and Wilt Chamberlain in 1969.
1975 Gail Goodrich, near the end of his prime, was left all alone and the Lakers struggled to a 30-52 record
1976-1991 We do what we do and acquired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from the Bucks in 76 and let Gail Goodrich go and sign with the New Orleans Jazz for their future 1979 1st round pick
That turned out to be the #1 overall pick when the Jazz finished with the worst record in the NBA in 1979 and we selected Magic Johnson in the draft. We then go on to the following season and trade our 1st round pick in the 1980 draft packaged with our barely used, 3.0 ppg, 1.7 rpg PF/SF Don Ford, to the Cavs for their future 1st round pick in the 1982 draft and guard Butch Lee. That pick turned out to be the #1 overall pick when we won the coin toss that year and we selected James Worthy....we shut shyt down until Magic caught HIV and Big Game James got injured
1992-1996 We had a couple decent seasons, a couple bad seasons....but all in all, it was dark days for the Lakers even though we had acquired young and exciting Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones
1997-2004 On draft night, we traded Vlade Divac for the GAWD and also acquired Shaquille O'Neal as a FA. The dynasty was reborn. We went on to 3 more rings and 4 Finals.
2005-2007 The Gawd was surrounded by the worst disciples ever. Kwame Brown/Smush Parker/Luke Walton/Jumaine Jones/Aaron McKie/Tierre Brown/Slava Medvedenko/Vladimir Radmanovic/Laron Profit/Chucky Atkins/Brian Grant. Only players with any talent was Lamar Odom and Caron Butler who we traded after 1 season. The GAWD was so disappointed that he said he would rather play on Pluto than play with this roster the next season. We did manage however to acquire 17 year old Andrew Bynum straight out of HS in 2005 even though he wouldn't reach his full potential in 2012 due to numerous injuries
2008-2010 The GAWD was blessed when we acquired Pau Gasol, Trevor Ariza and Andrew Bynum teamed up with him to provide a force in the paint with Odom providing versatility off the bench. 2010, We acquired Metta World Peace who locked up young Kevin Durant and was a key to us winning. The LWO was back after a brief 3 year hiatus. We went on to win more championships and make nikkas mad all over again when went to 3 straight NBA Finals
2011-current Pau Gasol has heavily struggled, MWP is washed up, Andrew Bynum was traded, and even though we acquired Dwight Howard and Steve Nash...both were injured the entire season. The future is unknown for the LWO, due to salary cap restraints, and all we can rely on is the fact that we never go too long withou re-upping and taking over the league again. We WILL BE BACK
2014 or 2015....
