@ArashMarkazi
There had already been preliminary talks between Dwight Howard and Time Warner on a show if he returned to the Lakers.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

That would be the UN-funniest, worst rated show ever. I am sure they aren't serious about this, if they were it would be cancelled quick, they just want to entice him to stay in LA with whatever means possible since Dwight is dumb and easily impressionable. First billboards now this lmao. Steve Nash trying to pull a last minute David Robinson lol. Yet he is getting a kick out of this. This the same guy that got himself kicked out of their last playoff game lol.

Oh dear god.

[Optimus_Steel]

Maybe they should stop telling Dwight to "stay" and instead "spay". Dude is rumored to have 8 kids now.

How hard is it to wear a condom?!

Its not that hard.........unless your Dwight Howard.

Last I heard was 6 kids but I wouldn't be surprised if he tied Shawn Kemp by now.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

isnt that who the Lakers have their $3billion contract with? If Dwight leaves, Kobe is hurt, who is going to pay the cost to watch the Lakers lose? and people say big markets dont have big advantages. I dont see anyone offering the same deal for Durant or Westbrook.

Gotta crawl before you walk. Took Harkless forever to finally get it. Was even benched at one point. Oladipo needs to learn. hell get his minutes, but doesnt need to be starter right away. Besides, were tanking.

Lol, that doesn't many sense. As you said, we're talking. So, Oladipo should be playing more minutes than Afflalo since Afflalo is most likely better.

And just because Harkless took forever to learn, doesn't mean Oladipo will take forever. So, should we just bench ever rookie in the draft whose team is tanking?

I dont ever make sense.... if that makes sense.

Damn...I have so many spelling mistakes in that post lol.

We are taking home that summer league championship.

Gonna have a sick team just between Dipo, Tobes, AN, KOQ, and Harkless. I'm watching youtube videos on some of the invitees. Most of them played overseas last year.

AJ Slaughter a 6'3" 180 PG that's played over in France he's got some nice skills http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsgnOTJvzLE

Shane Lawal I've heard of 6'10' 225 this video doesn't show a whole lot but he's a good finisher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwEJZn2bFso

Glen Dandrige 6'6" guard played in Morocco has that inside/outside game and athleticism that our staff likes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fMMhZgt7aM

Matt Gatens 6'6" guard from Iowa reminds me of JJ a lot good spot up shooter and comes off a lot of screens

Ramone Moore 6'4" out of Temple a gunner and a slasher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdbBwGQczV8

Eric Wise 6'6" guard from USC couldn't find too much on just him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJjrc0V528Y

Dandridge and Slaughter stuck out to me the most of these

[rcklsscognition]

Here's Oladipo on Jim Rome today, recorded it on my phone, not sure if quality is too great.

Why do the Magic always fail to sign summer league point guards. I'm a little pissed we didn't get that aussie guy, I thought it was a done deal. Same thing happened last year.

signing to SL doesnt mean anything. We can easily monitor him and offer a contract if we want. That is what happened to Wayns last year if i remember right

[laVal03]

I really like those colors.

love the name! *sarcasm. SMDH.....

The name is horrible but I admit I like the colors and what they did with the logo.

@NBARUMORS
Rumor: Iman Shumpert and Tyson Chandler for Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan.

The Los Angeles Lakers expressed their interest to multiple free agents when free agency began at midnight, and the latest name to add to the list is big man Byron Mullens, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN. Mullens had a career-high in points per game, but shot just 38 percent from the field.

BJ Mullens, Ryan Kelly > Dwight
