Carlos Boozer will be sent to LA in a Gasol sign and trade

[qrich]

Oh boy. What a rough year it's going to be.

Worst part is, that team is a limbo 10 seed team, and the pick is only top 5 protected.

Should just have guys like Marshall, Young, Randle, Sacre start and bring in ultra scrubs. I'm talking Ryan Bowen level scrubs.

[qrich]

starting Nick Young at the 3 and washed up Boozer at the 4. You aren't making the playoffs in the East.

That's WITH a healthy Kobe.
You are going to be sorely disappointed this season.


Here's a little secret...Nick Young isn't good.....he's never BEEN good.....he will never BE good

Nick Young is good if used properly, like he was in a Clippers uniform. Dude actually played decent to solid D and wasn't a blackhole.

Nick should and will most likely be a 6th man, which fits him perfectly. He was our 1st/2nd option last season despite coming off the bench, so obviously his overall efficiency is going to be lower in a bigger role. Going from leading the team in ppg to 6th man is a whole other thing.

On the offensive end, the man was solid. 18 ppg on 44/39/83 shooting is not bad at all, especially in only 28 mpg. Problem is that he doesn't rebound or pass all that well and his D is inconsistent.

this is confirmed

lakers fully healthy could be ok. they should run this offense

PG Lin/Marshall/Nash
SG Kobe/Clarksson
SF Young/
PF Boozer/Randle
C Hill/Sacre

meh... looks good to me

not great.. but good

they should dump nash for a backup small forward and theyre a possible 7-8th seed

Randle will start, Kobe's playing SF.
This is a great team on paper, 50+ wins. Depends on the coach ofc

[jernejteras]

can they get boozer and carmelo? that wouldn't be so bad...

[Fox]

Horrible team. Wont even make the playoffs.

[orange_chicken]

You a dumbazz. Hinrich will be in the trade. LA will get a decent point guard.

So if Nick Young is 6th man who starts? I'm still laughing at the absurdity of giving Jordan Hill a 9 million dollar contract you could have just taken salary for picks instead of that retarded contract.

Lakers are going to be absolutely terrible this season. This potential roster is more unwatchable than last year's.

[kshutts1]

its a 1 year rental. lakers are just looking for expiring contracts and a competitive roster

theyre waiting on 2015

boozer and lin come off the books. but right now they can help LA

I agree with this assessment, and that's what makes it so annoying. The Lakers, very clearly, have ZERO plan. You don't sign Kobe to that contract without wanting to win now. Kobe wouldn't/shouldn't like that. Yet the Lakers seem content on being a "dumping grounds" this season? To build for the future? Kobe's deal was not a future deal. Two totally contradictory actions.

I liked the Lin move. I think he can help the Lakers this year and the pick is great for the future. But if this Boozer thing is true? Nick Young being signed (to an admittedly good deal) before offering to Monroe or Stephenson? Just makes no sense in the grand scheme of things.

[no pun intended]

Lakers are going to be absolutely terrible this season. This potential roster is more unwatchable than last year's.

Lol anyone with the right mind would know that nothing could be worse than last season.

Actually, the Lakers can't do this S&T anymore based on the cap.

Jordan Hill is worth every penny if he can stay healthy.
He's been better than Gasol for the last two years
