I’m ready for 2019

A link that works

And as for this (old) report that came out shortly after the season ended, it’s bull…the lakers still probably cleared 30 to 40 million in PROFIT last year (yes, PROFIT even paying the luxury tax comcast, see how that works) and if they DOUBLED the cost of laker seats – they’d still sell out every game.

This rumor that Phil Jackson will be asked to take a pay cut has blown up into every one thinking the lakes are going to trade players to save money.

I think Jerry Buss is a scum bucket, who lives his life llike he’s 22 and thinks he’s above us all, but he’s the kind of owner a professional sports owner SHOULD be – and as long as he thinks the lakers cna win a title, he will pay the money.

If Phil is just posturing because of money instead of his knee -buss will pony up – because buss knows keeping phil makes him more money than it costs him

Odom is a good fit for the Lakers as a 6th man.

At 31 this fall and without a position Odom would be a poor fit on the Sixers.

Now if Bynum was healthy a Bynum for Iguodala trade would make sense (Bynum is 22)- but Bynum is not healthy.

I hope not

in a crazy, mixed-up world where 8th men off the bench start…yes, he will be starting.

The evidence (Sam Dalembert trade for instance, the ‘one year offer’ to andre miller) is that the most important thing to the sixers is staying under the luxury tax. I supposed there’s a CHANCE that they use their MLE but I wouldn’t put it at high and I wouldn’t say that it would matter to the long term health of this team winning games.

Haywood is a strong MLE candidate, but teams that have a chance of, you know, winning have a better shot at him than the sixers even if they were willing to spend

Yeah I wouldn’t waste money on a vet center that’s just going to slow development of Hawes and Speights. Throw them into the fire, let them get better.

INtersting if true – the Nets have to have some inside dope that they’re a player to make a move like that I would think – but I can’t see them being a real player.

And pushing thorn out the door – big mistake (another person who is better than stefanski)

Chad Ford has it on Twitter as well

I wrote on reclinergm, that I think Lebron and Bosh should go to the Nets (although it won’t happen.)

They are moving to Brooklyn, and they can change their name to “la Familia.”

Harris(27),Lee(24), Lebron(25),Bosh(26),Lopez(22)
bench: Favors(19), Williams(23)

A long time winner, in NY, with an owner who is willing to use “any means necessary” to win.

I was surprised at the start of last season how well Lou was playing. At least on paper anyway. It appeared he was playing much more under controll, his assists were up and his turnovers were down.

I do believe Lou can play point guard, but am unsure if it’s his natural game.

Lou could play starting “scoring guard” on a good team. Not sure he could be relied upon tpo truly run the point- but several teams have “point forwards.”

This would be great if the Sixers had any significant cap space that off season…oh wait…they had that, and then they traded it to Sacramento for what appears to be a bust and a two year contract.

We’ll definitely overpay for Thad after this season, I really feel like that’s almost a given. Hopefully Hawes blows out his knee or something and gives us a reason not to resign him. As for Willie, he’ll probably leave and try to get his last long deal with another team, and Kapono should be dealt by the deadline. I hope.

In my ideal world, Hawes and Thad play out of their minds, and we deal them for something. See a contract year for what it is and deal them for more than they’re worth. This applies more to Hawes than Thad IMO but regardless…

Took a pay raise and he’ll honor his last year, " With the blessing of my family and time away I want to try one more time with this group" One last proverbial hurrah it seems like, don’t like their chances with Perkins nearly blowing out his knee.

doesn’t he know anthony opted out last week?
