  1. I'm a little surprised it was him making the ask but if you see the clips of his body language this season its not super surprising. He clearly was frustrated with Mitchell not playing any defense and his inability to make a consistently decent entry pass.
  2. I agree but now no one knows how to feed the post so it wouldnt matter. I've seen countless bigs have mismatches down there and the guard will either not even look or throw an awful entry pass that gets stolen.
  3. You say this like its a bad thing.
  4. Right, saying Ja will fall off if/when he isnt super athletic is assuming that he will never work on his game to have tricks, moves, shots that dont require him to be super athletic. Every great player added to their game to offset getting older. Nothing I've seen from Ja says that he wont do the same.
  5. Yeah this and that dunk on Poetl (sp?) have me convinced that these guys just dont believe a guy that small can jump from that far out and still dunk on them. I can understand the thinking though cause that shit should be impossible. Dude is jumping from the dotted line and dunking on folks at 6'1. We never seen shit like that before.
  6. Yeah, that "plan" never made any sense. There was no way he was coming back under those conditions
  7. Meh, I thought they were before they traded for Harden in the first place. The lack of any interior defense killed them throughout the yr. Trading away Allen was fucking stupid then and it looks infinitely worse now.

    This "clearing cap" stuff is ridiculous. The Lakers aint doing that shit. Only possible exception would be if LBJ asks out. Further LBJ AINT GOING TO FUCKING OKC!!!!!! The mere thought of is fucking folly. Yes this season was a disaster and it looks as if they have boxed themselves in but I'm sure they will get it together and field an at least competitive team next yr. They will find a pigeon to take Russ and might even get something in return.

    Making money and eating well. She was probably pretty active too before she got busy with working. She was hot as hell before she exploded.

    He and SVG are the same. They get immediate improvement from their team in the first yr or two. Then everyone gets sick of their shit and the teams fall apart. They are coaches to get you back to the hump then you move on to someone else to get you over the hump.

    The Cap quotes were pretty fair. They just didnt need to be said publicly. He has enough access to go and talk to LBJ if he felt it was that much of an issue. I know a lot of people dislike him for various reasons but for all the good he has done many of the things pointed out by Cap seem nit-picky.

    There's also this: https://lakersdaily.com/report-demar-derozan-felt-like-lakers-were-in-disarray-and-didnt-know-what-they-were-doing/ “I talked to someone from DeRozan’s camp,” Ohm Youngmisuk said. “When DeRozan was in town in L.A., and he basically stuck it to the Lakers. The impression that I got from his camp was that DeRozan felt that the Lakers were in sort of disarray. They didn’t really have a vision. They didn’t know what they were doing.”

    Yeah I know Demar was reportedly open about going to LA. That wasnt the part I was disputing. Magic said they could have signed Demar (they couldn't, they were over the cap) and kept their depth, while also trading for Heild. The money just doesnt work. Additionally, the Lakers were balking at giving Demar a 3rd yr which he ultimately got from CHI. So yeah he was willing to take an an annual discount he wanted to make sure he got that 3rd yr and that is what broke down the deal as much as LBJ/AD going to talk to Russ from the reports I've seen. Not even saying that LBJ isnt at least at partial fault. Just that this is Magic and while he may want the Lakers to win I am sure he isnt going to hesitate to give hindsight and make it seem like he could have done it better than Pelinka

    I assumed he was talking about the latter. No way he makes it through half a season.

    Well, I'm not sure if Derozen wanted to come there but Magic's scenario is not realistic. They would not have been able to sign Demar, keep their depth and trade for Buddy.

    Absolutely love the guy. He lives like he LOVES life and then goes on the court and fucking destroys! Clearly works extremely hard on his game too.

    Yeah there was a catering angle involved as well. Still nothing to get that worked up about.

    Yeah, his comments were stupid as hell given the context of their season but what was he supposed to say about his player?
