What's sad is when Robert Sacre has more blocks and rebound in less minutes than your starting center..lmao and this guy is whining about spots...smh

I actually wouldn't mind giving Kelly some burn if Shawne's shots aren't falling. You lose length and athleticism, but you gain more IQ/intangibles.

PG seems like he could be even better than Kobe... IMO.

Our team, in its current form, might be unfixable short of an absolute miracle like adding LeBron or pulling a Nash and Pau for Melo and Chandler type trade and I'm pretty sure there isn't a Laker homer anywhere that thinks such a deal could ever be pulled off.

Getting a 1st for Pau would be a godsend

The media still hate'in....of course this was the perfect time to jump us in terms of saying we can't do this or that. Until the last few losses we were on a 45 win pace, which would get that 8th seed in my opinion. But of course they won't judge us when we have all our pieces for 40 games or so.

After the quarter turn we were just 3 games under .500 and really not that far off from the pack in terms of playoff teams. I could see if we were 7-16 or something. But at 10-13 and losing all 3 PG's and inserting back a guys off for 200 plus days.....it could be worse. Let's see where were at after January heading into the break.

I think we'll get a better sense of where this team is once we get at least Farmar back and Kobe starts to round into shape+team getting used to playing with him. I'm leaning more toward developing the guys we intend to keep and trading away the excess for any and all assets possible in addition to our 2014 1st. Free agency is nice, but I really feel like we need to target at least one of the upper echelon players in this draft. That player will be locked up for the next 4 years on a rookie scale deal which is vital in the new CBA and obviously this draft class is very talented.

Pringles has to be on thin ice soon. Iv'e never seen rotations so inconsistent. This team is not thatttttt bad talent wise, the rotation is garbage no one in their right mind runs 2 point guards and have shawne williams and jodie meeks playing decent minutes

id like to see

kobe/meeks
young/meeks
johnson/henry
pau/kelly/williams
kamen/hill/sacre

until the pgs comeback

wish we could fastforward to the post Kobe-era at this point. We're just not going to be any good with his ludicrous contract around. I'm grateful for the five rings he brought us, but now we're just wasting our time in the past as a franchise and it's tough to watch.

Kobe is pushing off with that calf and the other is in the air.
