Instead, you have the biggest cancer in league history destroying the team on and off the court lol

[Gileraracer]

They wanted the cancer, they got the cancer :(

5* Quality Thread from OP once again. You need to come home Kenneth. Sooner or later we'll dump the Cancer. Raptors ain't your natural home - perennial chokers and losers - Kawhi can only do so much.

I think my ever growing disdain for Magic Johnson was shown when I sounded the alarms before all the moves and signings were made that the dude was a complete retard that was going to sign fools gold in Lebron James and I was proven right.... his subsequent moves that crashed us even harder only solidified how much a disgusting piece of sh1t he was.

I have legit dropped him two spots on my all-time list for setting back our franchise for at least 3 years doing some irreparable damage that might only be fixed in 4-5 years time.

Signing the cancer was always his move. BFF with Bran always on TV, everywhere, in comments etc.... I knew he had a soft spot for the Cancer and the Cancer always talked sweet of Magic...

Kinda glad while at the same time sad it blew in his face and he had to walk out in shame from the Lakers front office.

It's time Kobe and Phil took the reigns of the franchise and inserted some testosterone into the system. Genie is incompetent as is his brother. Magic's a fool and Pelinka is only there cause he handled Kobe's money.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

It's TIME!

Yes, because its easy to look at it that way. :facepalm

Y'all were shitting on Lou Williams when he was there. All those players are better off of the Lakers.

[MJistheGOAT]

Cancer is strong.
Cancer is up and above any team.

Had Lakers kept Lou, they would win few more games and drop from 2nd overall pick, AND there would be no Josh Hart because Rockets pick acquired for Lou was used to trade for Hart. We don't know how far Lakers would drop from 2nd pick so there would be a very good chance of not being in position to even draft Fox.. SO it's either Lou or Hart/Fox

Had Lakers kept Russell, they would not have dumped Mozgov, and so there would be no money for a max player. SO Russell/Mozgov or Kuzma/PG

Had Lakers kept Randle, there would not be enough money to add a 2nd max player so no Kawhi or KD or Kyrie
Had Lakers kept Clarkson/Nance, there would be no money for a 2nd max either so no Kawhi or kd or kyrie
Essentially, it's Randle/Clarkson/Nance or 2nd max player

If PG and 2nd max player was on roster, there would be no money for a 3rd max player

Good try though, just logically and rationally makes no sense

1. offense wasn't really the lakers problem when they had lou williams. they would have kept getting f*cked on the defensive end. plus there were tanking orders


2. the lakers lineup i have isn't based on free agent acquisitions. at most they would have had to given up ingram and thrown in mozgov to make salaries work for paul george

3 randle signed a 2 year deal with new orleans. the lakers can't even get anthony davis till 2021 anyway. he's gonna be playing in new orleans or boston next year. he's only making 7 million. that doesn't eat up a ton of cap


4. who gives a shit about adding anyone really. the lineup in the OP minus kawhi/KD/kyrie is just fine going forward and they possibly could have landed one guy ( kawhi )
