Because the story was false it was started by an over zealous “NBA Insider” on twitter who fell for a fake source. He even caused panic on a Laker board because of the proposed Randle- T-Wolves,Rondo-Lakers, Love-Celtics deal.
It all started with:
Escalated to:
Than this was written:
Which was stolen by:
Which eventually lead to this:
But if you want to skip all the initial reading and YouTube video of the insider admitting to being trolled:
I’ve expected that will happen all along. Minn should have took the Golden state deal but they keep pushing and pushing with everyone knowing Love wants to leave anyway. It’s gonna end with Minnesota getting fucked on a shit deal because they waited too long as usual or Love leaving them for nothing.
Y’know just it just dawned on me that LeBron made the Heat waste it’s Draft pick to get a PG he liked just to bounce lol. I hear Shabazz isn’t even playing well in summer league.
yeah, Kenny Smith kinda touched on that on an episode of Open Court. Chicago had a very thin frontcourt and Hakeem was the goat…matchup problem to say the least…Jordan and Pippen would’ve had to help out and cheat in paint, which would’ve let all those shooters have open opportunities all series…never can count out the Jordan factor and how his drive to succeed willed his teams to victory, but its not hard to imagine HOU could’ve gotten Chi in seven one of those yrs…
So let me get this straight: the lakers picked up Lin, 2 draft picks, boozer, and some unknown guy from the grizzlies BUT YET they haven’t hired Byron Scott yet after 3 meetings with him?
I thought it was because he hasn’t had any box score stat average out in double digits for his whole career. This guy seems perfect for title hunt teams that need a body on the roster to produce a little bit, not a team with a 2 year clock to commit to getting another ring with Kobe, like the L.A.L. organization has pledged to do. You get these kind of players after the blue chips come your way. If you really need to round out the roster for cheap in the mean time, call up the D-league. Comparable work rate for significantly less money. I wouldn’t even mind another tank year at this point, if we’re going to suck, suck the hardest for more ping pong balls.
EDIT: Fuck it, time to get even more opinionated, I fucking hate the NBA draft for the simple fact a bunch of white guys in suits sell the fans pipe dreams with 95% of the players in the draft every year. The fact is only 3-4 players become mainstays and only like 10-15 find roles.
Just root for Portland already. You’re in Oregon and they’re a much better team. It’s safe to go back now, no sense trying to ride Kobe’s dick at this point. Even with Viagra and a splint he might get a semi at best.
Aldridge was a beast last year and Lillard is the future. The Lakers aren’t going to be able to do anything until Kobe retires. Nobody wants to play with a crippled egomaniac in the twilight of his career who will throw you under the bus the first chance he gets if something goes wrong.
