Why not 15 players 

Post#1 » by laduane1 » Fri Oct 22, 2010 2:11 am

The Lakers being a little older and having played a lot of games the last few years. Why not carry a 15th player. There have been a lot of interesting names released today as teams cut down to there main rosters. I just want the Lakers to be as strong as they can be.

Walton will be hurt again. AB is out a month. So the 14 is really 13, plus the two rookies will see limit time. Why not find that one who has shown in the pass that he can be a player and make the Lakers just that much better. Only going to cost the vet min. any ways.

cuz once we sign 15 we cant sign anymore. you always gotta leave room for one in case of emergency. understandably getting a 15th player would cover that but what if the position that was signed is not the same as the one thats injured? one roster spot at the very least gives us flexibility

Money, as G=K demonstrates :D
and a combination of keeping your options open (what if somebody has a bad injury?) with a lack of meaningful choices, perhaps?

We need Adam Morrison. The only our potential mascot are Luke Walton & Sasha, but the truth is, these guys arent comical as Ammo, DJ or Sun.

If you win a championship with 14 players does it really matter?

Veterans are bought out. They want titles. We need space to sign them mid-season.

We haven't recently. But why not try it? Teams do it all the time and we ARE the two-time defending champs.

I would only care to try it if it helped our team, not if it helped some old guy get a title.
