Mitch needs to get on the phone with Masai right now and see what we can do to get lowry.

If we can some how swindle Amir Johnson out of the deal too, that would be amazing (TOR's looking to tank and supposedly want to unload their starting 5 sans Val). Johnson is the pick and roll player MDA's been looking for.

:lol: the Lakers PG position is such a curse! Only we can go from 3 starting caliber PGs to none in a months time. Say what you want about Fish but dude played every night.

Only way the Toronto Trade would work is if we took Landry Fields. Pau for Landry, Amir and Lowry. Amir and Landry are on the books for 2014. We go all in for 2015.

Kobe as starting PG is ridiculous. Who is he going to guard? In his current state, he could barely guard PJ Tucker now you are going to ask him to guard Westbrook tomorrow?

i know were trying to keep our books free for the 14 class, but having landrys "abysmal" contract wouldnt be the end of the world. his only decent seasons were under Mike Dantoni. so it could work. plus hes from los alamitos, so im sure he'd be happy as hell to be back home.

Kobe as a passer worked last year. Might be the start of something.

but how stagnant did the offense look with henry, meeks, and young trying to initiate it. kobes going to be hovering around 30 minutes a game for a while, so those last 18 minutes whos going to run an offense.

Meeks will guard PGs.

Kobe -> Magic
Meeks -> Norm Nixon
Young -> B-Scott
Johnson -> Worthy
Pau -> Kareem
Hill -> Rambo

That's the problem ya. Farmar's return isn't that far away though.

I'm amazed how hard it is for people to figure out that you can crossmatch on the defensive end in the NBA. It's hilarious. I mean honestly it it that hard to figure out.

Let's explain this rocket science:

- Kobe will be guarded by Sefolosha tomorrow
- Kobe will guard Sefolosha on the other END



WOOWWWWWW SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!!! Is that if you play PG on one end, you don't have to guard the opposing team's PG? NO **** WAY

With Nash, Blake, Farmar, and Kaman out, and with Hill, Young, and Pau sucking royal... Might make more sense to sit Kobe for a while...

Tanking while not meaning to... The 2013/2014 Lakers.

Why even bother bringing anyone else on board at this point?
Never have rice at Hanzo's house...
