Lakers made it clear to Melo today they'd offer the maximum, 4-yr, $97mil contract they can, if he chose them.

i thought that was pretty much a pre-req

[1~Gibson~1]

I might actually root for the Lakers if he signs but they would still have to supplement the team with quality role players... not that that would be hard to do

This shocks pretty much no one.

They managed to sign Nick Young, Wesley Johnson and Xavier Henry for the min last year. Not to mention they found a diamond in the rough in Kendall Marshall. If they continue the trend of young athletic defensive players and shooters they'll be alright.

Would rather him play for the bulls since Kobe is on his last legs. Bulls system seems to be a better fit on paper but who knows.

This. We finally had a bench and some younger athletic players..
Add a decent coach, healthy Kobe an pau, melo and a few more pieces and championship cruise

Get it done Mitch

If the Lakers are trying to win:

This would be the stupidest thing they could possibly do.




If the Lakers are trying to make more revenue from the fans:

This is a brilliant maneuver.

Iso melo all day? No one else can score for shit in that team apart from rose. And who knows if he'll be healthy at all, plus there owner is a cheap bastard..

[Levity]

Can the rockets offer the max, as well? Because i read that they can only offer 20 mil with their current cap (not sure if they includes lin or not) and bulls, even less

[JohnFreeman]

Is it weird that I hate the Lakers, but I enjoyed seeing them play well?

[The-Legend-24]

Why are they offering this career loser so much?

[AirTupac]

I don't know how to react. That's a lot of money for being possibly mediocre for a couple seasons. They must have something lined up if they are offering this.

[ThemBombs]

if he's seriously considering the Lakers than he may as well stay in NY. Coming to LA the Lakers would be Knicks 2.0 for the next four years at this current rate- One season of a good playoff team, 3 seasons of garbage.
