After Jordan and with Lou and D'Angelo are the Lakers again the best team in LA?

Clippers are still better, even after losing DJ.

[kennethgriffin]

if lakers can swing a good trade ... shipping one or more of lin/young for another solid player.

then the lakers might be better than the clippers minus deandre

[Levity]

DJ had a huge impact on the clippers and was a perfect pairing next to griffin, so it's going to be interesting to see how they adjust.

Gonna be funny when Clippers destroy the Lakers this season like usual.

Gonna be funny when Clippers get bounced first round of playoffs this season like usual.

fixed

No. Some fellow Lakers fans are way delusional. Blake and CP3 are better than everything we got and then they got Redick who is a great shooter.
Our rookies won't be superstars right out of the gate.

he did force griffin to take more jumpers and play more from the perimeter, maybe with DJ gone, we see griffin more at the 5, and playing more in the paint.

i meant defensively. DJ doesnt help anyone on the offensive side, considering he just clogs the paint. But having them together all these years really accelerated Griffins development of his midrange game.

Gonna be funny when Clippers have to change their "new" selfies banners

No, definitely not.
Potentially they could, if Kobe is relatively healthy and Russell/Randle develop into good players and Hibbert protects the rim. A lot of, ... IFs.

Clips still have Paul & Griffin; two players better than anyone Lakers have.

[Rooster]

Clippers curse. They are still looking up at our banners

[GimmeThat]

Kobe can't be Phil Ivey anymore,
They still need 'that' scorer

Bosh and a 2nd rounder might get it done with the salary situation coming up and all the Sf getting paid already.

[DMAVS41]

Clippers are under-rated right now.

If they are healthy...they will be awesome again.

Going small with Blake at the 5 is something they should have done more often anyway...I really think that is going to surprise a lot of people...just how good that can be for long stretches.

Throw in Lance and Paul....they are still a 55 win or so team if healthy.

Why are laker fans such insecure babies?
