Doesn't sound like Kobe's coming back this year.

Now I literally have no clue what's going to happen this offseason, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. 
All I know is that if we have a top 4 and can pick Embiid, Wiggins, Exum, or Parker, we better not trade it at all.
Looks like we really starting from the bottom and they are just going to let kobe gun for the next two years.
Im cool with it

Big problem is that our pick for next year is only top 5 protected, so we either have to do another tanking year, doubt if that happens or go all in with making it to the playoffs. Have no clue at all, but 
at least it feels good finally getting a top 5 pick though at the very least.
I'm glad to see the FO starting to openly acknowledge the tank. We need to put the pedal to the metal now, we've got more than enough games to gain some ground and have a locked position in the Top 3. Mitch can get out of this debacle as long as he plays this shyt smart. Keep some of these young gems for the bench and fire f'ucktoni immediately when the season is over. Draft the best player possible, make smart signings not name brand signings, and wait it out for KL in 2015 and make one more run with Kobe/Love/Lotto pick in 2016, once Kobe retires we'll have huge cap space and a rebuilt Laker team ready to compete which will be attractive to future superstar FAs. GOAT franchise can make Durant a gawd rather than just a servant, it's up to him. 
I wouldn't mind another season of the tank life, I've gotten used to it. It's kinda like watching Friday, it's funny but it got it's serious more tense moments. There's no such thing as down times for the GOAT franchise everything the Lakers do is high stakes, The Greatest Show on Earth never disappoints even in losing seasons. A top 5 pick in '15 would be nice going into Kobe's final year too. In the meanwhile, Kobe and *lotto pick* can play a fun style of basketball. Let Kobe heist as much as he wants so he can get closer to the record while the rook gets his feet wet. Get another lotto pick + K-Love, that'd be a nasty young squad going into Kobe's final season. Imagine Exum this year, and if he stays in school Embiid next year.
I want Kobe to usher in a new era of GOAT franchise basketball for the kids and gracefully bow out with one more title, Mitch better deliver.

We would need to have at least the second worst record in the league to guarantee a top 5 pick.I wouldn't mind another season of the tank life, I've gotten used to it.

It would be a tough price to pay for that. Ideally, I'd like to just fire f'ucktoni and get a young coach we can groom to have next in line when all the pieces come together. But there is no better tank coach at the moment than f'ucktoni.
Nah. That would derail the tank. Turner aint that good

Only way the pain go away is if you embrace the destruction. @GreatestLaker was the first with the tank talk gotta give credit where it's due, I couldn't even rock with the concept. It's all about the future and setting up Kobe's last season for a run at one more. An even 20 years, Top 3 in scoring, 6 rings, he really was the next Jordan.
