The Official LA LAKERS thread!!

A_Iverson_I is basically saying that Kobe is a product of his "great" teammates and he is lucky to be in such situations because any other "superstar" with Kobe's teammates could win it too. To that I say whatever, why are we talking about the hypotheticals? At the end of the day the bottom line is Kobe has 5 rings. Who cares if he got them with good teammates or bad teammates. Also lots of guys wanted to come play with him because they knew it would increase their chance of winning.

I hate the "it could be anyone if they were with him" arguments. Yeah maybe a few other players could do the same thing, but they aren't in that situation for a variety of reasons - so you shouldn't take away from Kobe winning.

Was getting worried about you, glad to hear you got to enjoy it!

Bynum - I'd like him to stay, I'd like to see him get back to full health
Fisher - You gotta stick with this guy now, even if he ends up seeing less minutes
Farmar - That's my boy, as up and down as he's been I'd personally hate to lose him
Artest - Now that he can breathe easy, look for him to have a HUGE season next year

All that said, let's see who our competition is next season. We brought Ron in cause it was affordable and a definite upgrade. With all the moves last season by all the different teams we had to make some ourselves. This next season I'm not so sure.

Look how long it took for Pau to shake the new boy nerves, Ron will be fine now he has a season under his belt and a championship ring to boot.

For anyone interested, got a mixtape here called the Big Pay Back 2 Back, the production is very nice but if you're not into Hip Hop it won't be your thing. if you are I highly recommend it, been playing it flat out the last few days;

Lakers 2010 The Bigg Payback 2 Back Mixtape | September 7th | Mixtapes | Coast 2 Coast Mixtape DJs

Flo'z has been doing Laker tracks on the side of doing his own thing for along time now, production skills are nice and his flow is pretty tight.



For anyone interested in last seasons mixtape, here's that aswell;

Yeah I heard the T Mac thing, apparently Mike Miller wants in aswell. T Mac could be huge off the bench if he's happy to take on a role like that. Not sure what to think and won't over think it until it's a reality or more talk emerges. We're also looking at a few PG's; Steve Blake, Luke Riddenhour, Earl Watson, always liked Luke so that would be awesome but it kinda means Farmar or Brown could be out or at least taking a back seat.

I seen the whole Kimmel Show just before aswell. It was good, I thought last seasons was funnier with Adam Morrison and they got stuck into Mbenga more. The stuff they had for Morrison, that highlight rheel of his playoff efforts, that was hilarious. I liked the way Kobe paid respect to Adam though, the dude can play.

*Appologies for the double post, looks like they're not merging anymore.

It will be an interesting off season for the Lakers.

One trade I would do in a heartbeat is the Bosh for Bynum/Walton that has been thrown around on other forums. I love both Luke and Drew, but Luke is a defensive liability on the court, and Drew will struggle to play big minutes on his dodgy knees.

The biggest issue for the team is (and yes, I'm banging this drum again) the point guard role. Farmar has shown that he won't be a starter, and Fish will be another year older. Blake is an interesting one that would work well in the triangle I believe, Ridnor less so IMO. Not sure about salaries, but I'd be happy trading Brown for either one of those...I love Brown's highlight reel, but that doesn't convert to Ws at the end of the day!
