Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 His jumpshot has improved too. SWAGGY P, Ed Davis, & Johnson are more that I like. We'll have some flexibility to make some moves too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 Johnson...no i would rather take hill and boozer the cap space rule has taken a lot of power from the lakers and celtics Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 He's up and down. He's had a few good moments. BOOZER? NO THANKS. Well the good thing is that they have players on cheap deals, which will be good trade pieces in the future. Plus by next season they'll have good $ in cap space due to that new TV deal.

Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 it seems we both have some picky choices but what are your thoughts about lin LA has always money, its the limit that cant be exceeded Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 Not really a fan of Lin. OK player, makes mistakes in games, and he's seems lost at time during them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 I was afraid of this. We cant even bench him. Everyone in the nba has pg but not the lakers. I think the only 2 reasons he is there are there was no one else and lakers+lin: great sales in china Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 Pretty much what you said. Lakers should look into Goran Dragic. I'm a fan of his. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 Hmm not really this time. Every team playing well pretty much won. He's a solid player. He would always put up good numbers against the lakers. The Suns already have 3 point guards so he should look elsewhere team wise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 i think indiana is bad, a lose to 76ers this is a fun thing whats your all time starting 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Paul George & Hill are out, and I never thought Hibbert was great, so I'm not surprised they lose a few games. At least the 76ers aren't the Knicks, ha.PG Magic SG Jordan/Kobe SF Bird PF Duncan C Kareem. How about you? Edited January 11, 2015 by Kudo12XX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 nice choices i see how he scores and do have to say that i hate these new rules if he jumps first then you cant jump at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 I'm not a fan of the rules either. The league has definitely changed over the years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 FT Atlanta Hawks 120 - Washington Wizards 89 FT L. A. Clippers 90 - Miami Heat 104 OT Memphis Grizzlies 122 - Phoenix Suns 110 FT Sacramento Kings 103 - Cleveland Cavaliers 84 FT L. A. Lakers 94 - Portland Trailblazers 106 First of all i like to say that the hawks are something that no one expected and that everyone should watch after the heat had to win eventually memphis, im surprised it took them an extra time to finish of the suns you know you are bad when you get stomped by sacramento, the kings are a dysfunctional team since they fired their coach and under a good coach the cavs can be, without lbj, a solid team these cavs will never win anything im glad LA lost ( Draft pick ), and that Black played again with great stats these lakers are not bad, but they need a C and a PG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 I agree 100%. For years the Hawks to me we're always just a #4-5 seed, and then make no noise in the playoffs. Looks like this year may be different since they seem legit. That was shady for them to fire the kings coach, IMO. They had a good flow going, and Cousins was finally playing like he was motivated.

Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 well, he aint wrong could you imagine if the lakers payed the fools gold howard love might be better then dwight but he is no superstar this is the reason cap space was put, they calculated the future and saw this im thinking if he does not get the max he will go to NY or LA LA is a much more better choice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 I agreed with him. Love isn't a Max player. Love & Howard can't be full trusted. They'll escape a team when things get rough. Not traits for leaders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 i would like if the get gasol marc and lamarcus that would be good with the bech they have any trade rumors you have heard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 doubtful on lamarcus since he's likely to sign a max contract with portland. marc gasol would be great especially with the season he's having. heard they may be shipping Lin out in a trade. hill & sacre have gotten some interest from the cavs exchange for draft picks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 but i dont see portland winning it all, maybe that will help the laker bout time for lin, so ho will be the PG not interested in cavs picks and dont trade hill...he is good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 73 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 only way I see him leaving is if he doesn't get the $/deal yrs he wants. lin stinks. that's why they need an upgrade soon. cavs prob just wanna replace varejao but i'd rather not trade hill either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 i wonder why the lakers never went for D-will hes among the better choices Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
