I guess my idea of trading Chilldress for him last year looks bit better now that it is too late.

There's a difference between Blatche for the minimum and Blatche for 6 million through 2015. Also PER sucks and Blatche is the perfect example for it. Not that he's playing bad but PER doesn't involve any kind of defensive impact.

Sure, but the we wouldn't have had the money to sign Beasley.

Would be awesome if Love is out for the season, and Derrick Williams explodes in his absence. We then somehow manage to pick him up for Gortat, Morris and the Laker lotto pick.

Wolves have a PF-C rotation of

Williams/ Morris
Pekovic/ Gortat

Which is pretty solid.

Well it's official - we are now the 5th worst team in the nba. Even sactown has a better percentage than us.

And it could get worse - two of the teams worse than us either have just had or are about to have franchise players come back from injury (Wall in Washington, Gordon in NOH).

Top 3 pick is not out of the equation, folks.

Big game tonight. Denver (8th seed) is 2 1/2 games ahead of the Lakers in the stadings. Nuggets will travel to Staples Center tonight!

Let's hope The lakers look just as slow and old as they did the other night against the clippers.

Shot of the season by Gallinari. Damn it that was great.

Normally I wouldn't root so openly for another team's misfortune, but damn how awesome is it that the Lakers are struggling this far into the season?

GrantHill · Post #1049 » by **GrantHill** » Mon Jan 7, 2013 5:07 am

From now-end of Feb: Lakers play 14 on road, 12 @ home. Among road games: MEM, SA, MIA, CHI, DEN, DAL, BKN, MIN, BOS. Hard 2 play catch up.

Dwight Howard aggravated the sprained rotator cuff in his right shoulder and will have an MRI exam in the morning. #Lakers

YES!

Lakers, 15-18, need to go 33-16 in last 49 to get to 48 wins, the average # of wins of 8 seed in West in last 3 full seasons.

I've seen him getting injured and it looked exactly like the injury Channing got the last two years.

I honestly have more satisfaction seeing lakers lose and give suns their pick rather than Suns fight for 9th spot or be tread mill team... I hate lakers that much.

Post #1056 » by **ATTL** » Mon Jan 7, 2013 6:10 am

I knew those picks from the Lakers in that Nash trade were going to be helpful.

thamadkant · Post #1057 » by **thamadkant** » Mon Jan 7, 2013 6:21 am

If no team bail lakers out with Gasol and they lose Howard next season... And Nash continues to decline... 2015 Lakers pick (assuming no protection) will be top 7.

Nash then retires join Suns FO as GM... Haha. I heard he had a part with convincing Lakers to pull trade with Suns with those picks.

This could be one of the best trades in Suns' history.

sunskerr · Post #1059 » by **sunskerr** » Mon Jan 7, 2013 12:46 pm

So conflicted about the Lakers losing. I want Nash to hold the trophy but I want the Suns to get that lottery pick.

I think I want the lottery pick more.

Read this topic first time in few weeks :

Mood:
meh
thats funny
hehe
awyee lakers lose again
we own pick if lottery ?

Suckers lose again ? Yay !
your signature -> all hope comes crumbling down, B&B have no clue, they even can`t comprehend what makes a team succesful. We really should not be focusing on Gentry, 95% of the damage is done by B&B.

When are their contracts up ?
