I hope Mitch states what's on his mind when he speaks to MDA.

I wonder if Nick Young will announce what he's planning on doing. Is he returning or testing the free agency market?
During the post-game interview on the radio broadcast of the Lakers-Spurs game last night, John Ireland kept trying to get Nick Young to tell what his plans are, but Nick wouldn't bite. I'm really curious now.

Nick Young said he's ready to opt out after the game yesterday.

People should listen to Farmar's interview when they want some perspective.

If we don't draft an SF, I can see us bringing Nick Young back if only for the good vibes.

He's gone... He's going to take the top dollar on the table, and that ain't going to be us.
He just don't seem to to care that much about the Lakers honestly. He seems like he left already, actually...
The Lakers stepping stone...

Really? That's what you're getting? I mean, he just said Mitch said some good things and that he was worried about what Mitch was gonna say. Yeah he's noncommittal, but that's his way of speaking.
EDIT: the above poorly phrased because I was listening to Nick's interview at the time, but meaning he seemed to care/be nervous about if "Mitch would say the right things"...to me he appeared pleased.

Yeah... He'd like to be back maybe, but he also wants every penny he can get.

Volume scorers can be had for cheap, if he wants top dollar he's gonna have to find a new home. I honestly don't understand why so many Laker fans are enamored with him....I still cant take his game seriously.

Yeah, Nick Young.. He Gone. And I ain't even mad. Swaggy P is an And 1 guy, not a championship caliber player.

At his current salary, he's a steal... And well worth having on the team... But someone is going to go all in for 'Swaggy P' and be disappointed... And I hope that's not us.
His over all game is OK, but not anything overly special.

He said all the right things this entire season. Im a team player, I want to be a Laker etc etc.
But seeing how he derailed our tank to showcase his talent and the way he went about it clearly showed, he was just selling himself for his next big contract. I said it since day one. Can you blame him. Not one bit.

I like Swaggy and his interview. He's a perfect 6th man to me. I like a lot of what he said and he really did seem to learn to me, I think he's a guy that wants to win and is learning how. The money him and Farmar took to come here showed me a lot. I'd love to have those guys back if it were possible. Obviously a lot depends on who we draft and if we try and sign any names. If our bench was Farmer, Young, Baze, X, Hill, and Sacre I would not be dissapointed at all.
