You're right Kblo, Swaggy is 100% legit. He straight up takes over games and I don't see us losing another game this season

They just relax a bit more with him around. They know with Kobe it's always intense and focused. You need that guy in the locker room that will make everybody feel like it's okay to be themselves, instead of acting like robots.

I love Nick Young.

When asked in Nick Young could claim credit for the 2 wins on twc, Kobe replied :

"Yes. Hey listen, if that's what's rolling, then that's just what's rolling. I'll take it. When you got a player that gets buckets and can create, that does wonders. Some teams have 5-6 guys that can do that, but listen Nick is a phenomenal talent. His defense, his effort, his pull up jumper, I'm very happy to have him back."

Lakers are +13 with Nick on the floor so far as well

I hope Young continues to play well... because we all know he's gonna have struggling games... we have enough offensive players to make up for another player struggling but we can't have multiple players struggling in games especially against the Top teams.

He needs to be benched. We need our pick more than we need 25 wins.

This is the help that Kobe needs. Winning is possible. If we could make some moves and get a couple more of players who can create and make shots and play D then we could still turn this season around. Six straight wins more and we're .500. If Randle is healthy our chances are brighter. :nod:

Much needed scoring from the bench and the three spot. Less pressure for Wes offensively so he could focus on D. He plays the 2 as well.

Of what? Being a bad team until we finally get a good FA and not some bust or bench player on good teams? Screw that. The Draft is typically the "best" FA class in that it has young players with affordable and team-option contracts.
On Harden being MVP of this season ( I don't even like Harden much)

Making it in the playoffs . If Randle is healthy right now there is a big chance that Boozer is not starting and we are winning more games.

Yall are fn nuts if you doubt la makes a trade at the deadline if they are 500 near the break and can make a playoff run. They would sell those picks, nash, kelly, x, and clarkson without a second thought

41 wins (.500) gets you the 10th seed in the west, if you know what I mean. I could see them trading any of the garbage they have, but picks are worth more than gold in the new cba. The point is moot anyway, with Wes, Boozer, and Hill as our starting front court, its hard to think of a worse group in the league. There is no way this team sniffs .500.

This season? No. Next season, maybe, if the Thunder get injured again and the Grizz lose Marc Gasol, which is as likely as Wes Johnson becoming an all star.
