BUMP: This Thread when the Lakers SUCK!

- They getting vets to tutor the young men in locker room
- Counting on Ingram to develop
-- Looking to add another nice piece like maybe a Jayson Tatum
---Then a big time free agent signing
Then you have a core of Free agent, Tatum, Ingram to go along with some role players they drafted and developed like Randle, Clarkson, Nance.
They are looking to a championship in future. Making the playoffs isn't good enough in Laker land, They strive for better and more.
History shows they are big time free agent destination.
Yall can laugh at the Lakers all you wantnow but they have shown in history they are one of the ELITE teams in all of sports and bet they get a chip before the Jazz,
Lakers stood by and was loyal to Kobe and hey he was a big reason no free agents would come but Lakers is a brand name and they are in year 1 of minus Kobe. In 5 years they will be competeting for Chips while Jazz are content just making playoffs

Your mom was content just making you.

Just think of the free agent she had to take to make that happen, yuck.
 
Actually, these signings are more about Jim Buss trying to keep his job. Jeannie has threatened to wrest control of basketball operations from him if he can't put together a playoff-caliber team. IINM, he was given a 2-yr window. Things could get very ugly in LA internally.

Well, by the end of his 4 year deal he will be the age of Joe Johnson, the guy we just signed to a 2 year deal.

Deng's 4 year deal (if we had signed him) would severely damage our long term chances. Johnson's 2 year deal at a lower price is far better for us.

I would take Joe Johnson at 11 M for 2 years before I take a Deng at 4 years for more money. JJ's wheels haven't fallen off yet and players have their wheels fall off at different ages. I would argue that JJ can play 2 positions that are a better need for the Jazz than Deng. JJ can play 3 and 4 where Deng can play 2 and 3.

I think you got that position flexibility crossed up.
