ITS BEEN MOSTLY TRASH SINCE 82, EVEN THEN YOU COULD ARGUE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN WILKINS

I wonder when its time to invest in some better scouting? How many years? How many failures?

TAKE THE LST 10 YEARS AND TELL ME IF SHAQ AND KOBE WOULD HAVE BROKEN UP

PG - ARENAS / BARBOSA
SG - KOBE / FINLEY
SF - PRINCE / KIRILENKO
PF - LEWIS / WHOEVER
C - SHAQ / WHOEVER

LOL so we are going to do the what if we drafted game?

if the vancover grizzlies drafted rgiht they could have had

nash
kobe
vc/t-mac
marion
gasol

what's ur point?

many teams passed on these players... not just the lakers...

and plus... put those diamounds in the rough in the triangle their rookie year? they may never have flourished....

gilbert could be flippin burgers at burker king if we drafted him....

the situation in which you are drafted in really changes the impact you have on the game...

gilbert in golden state= 24.6 minutes
gilbert in LA= less than 5 minutes probably

same goes with AK, boozer, lewis, etc

could they play in the tri? how would they flourish with limited PT...

many factors... many what ifs...

our scouting sucks so much that I wouldn´t be surprised if they pick another bum with the 26th pick.

Even if we kept them all, how are we going to pay them all? I don't think Buss would spend his money like Isiah.

Lord, AK would have been great with us at SF. Certain 4-peat.
