It's funny but I think Lakers' fans are the only fanbase that doesn't blindly hate the Warriors at this point. I guess all those years of being at the top and winning multiple rings while looking down at the lowly Dubs will do that to you.

I have to admit that I am not that high on Swaggy but I trust Myers and Co. to do the right thing.

I hope your new FO is patient with Coach Walton, I think he has the potential to be a great HC.

Whats their to hate? They play the right way on both ends. I also enjoy watching the spurs even though they took some of our rings ;)

Swaggy actually played decent on man D and can get on fire from 3. For around 5 mill it would be a steal for warriors.

Besides, there's only one team we blindly hate, and they're in the east. :wink:

Why don't we try to keep Swaggy P? At this point, he is our only chance at the FA market.

1yr 5 mil deal with the Warriors.

Good riddance for us, but he'll be a valuable instant 3 point threat off the bench for the Warriors.

Honestly, I would have taken him back for 5 mil for one year. That would have been a good deal for us

Lakers should have offered him a 1 year 8-9 million dollar contract and let him test the market next year.

We offered waiters a 1 year deal. Anything he can provide us on a 1 year contract is just gravy

Thanks for the memories, Nick Young. My top two are:

1. Him opting out of his contract.
2. Signing with another team.

And with this, the last vestige of the Mike D'Antoni era is finally gone.

Swaggy P was entertaining as hell. I would love to see him get a ring next season.

Unfortunately I believe we're still sending checks to Mr 'antoni.

edit wait no you're right, he resigned. Wow!
