ATL: The Lakers still suck and we still approve

Dropped to Denver tonight. Things are not going well in Laker land.

Can they hold out until Jan. 15 so that we can trade Ersan to them or will they trade Gasol sooner?

Great to see them drop to 15-18 on the year. Looked like Nash would turn them, but they are still having some issues against better teams.

The best part would be if Dwight decided to bolt for Atlanta this summer and left them with nothing.

I'm hoping for Dallas. Dwight knows Cuban will do everything in his will to appease him and Dirk. I just hope Dwight isn't too proud after what he did to Orlando to ditch LA.

I see you are over on the Lakers board trying to close the deal. Interesting how they all say Gasol sucks but then aren't thrilled about any of the deals for him.

I was just seeing if they had anything on Ersan over there. Pretty much said he's been solid lately but that first month was an abomination to the game of basketball.

at the thread title. Love it.

And I love how things aren't working out in Laker land.

:lol: at the thread title. Love it.

I disagree. It shows a lack of class and maturity which is unfortunately the norm for some on this board.

Somebody banish Nebula to the Cardinals board.

You know what's kind of crazy? You could build a team around Nash, Howard, and a bunch of good role players like the Bucks have, or you could build a team around Bryant, Gasol, and a bunch of good role players - and either team would clearly be better than the Lakers are now.

What I'm enjoying is how this has the potential to be worse than the 2004 Lakers when they signed Payton and Karl Malone, trying to form a vets superteam.

Their team to date reminds me of those 1996 Rockets that had Hakeem, Barkley, Pippen and I think Clyde. Guys were just too old at that point to figure out how to make it work.

I was just comparing them to that team with my buddy at work. That was '99 though, I believe. Pippen was with the Bulls in '96-98 of course.

ETA: And that Rockets team was pretty good in 1999, though not as good as they should have been based on their talent.

I'm guessing the Lakers look like world beaters next Tuesday.

They need to trade Howard, not Gasol.
