As of now we have a payroll of $78 million. And that's without Dwight.
With Dwight we're at about $100 million. Even if we amnesty cut Kobe, we're still about $12 million over the cap... If we...

If it comes down to the last game, I don't see SA resting their players to be honest. If it's up to them to kick the Lakers out of the playoff picture and avoid a possible first round match up...
Never! I don't root for anyone in the playoffs except for the Lakers, only thing I do is root against the teams I hate most - for example the Clippers.
I'm not giving up on them yet but it's hard to believe they can turn it around. Yes, they're only behind like 4 games or so but that has been the case for a while now. They're not playing as a unit...
If he leaves, he will be more hated than LeBron ever was. Right now, the only ones who still support him, are Laker fans - not even all of them. I really liked Howard, but lately I couldn't care less...
Let's hope it's not that serious, he's been really solid lately.
The good news is that our frontcourt is deep enough to replace him. Oh wait...
Good call, Mike D'Ipshit! Howard isn't healthy himself and the only one able to play C is the 60th pick :facepalm:
That decision alone should justify firing this idiot... Don't blame this on...
You definitely don't want him playing Center. I'd rather put im at SF... If we trade Pau without getting back a backup C, we're screwed (yes, more than we are now). Might as well help the other team...
In a heartbeat! LeBron would be a solid upgrade for that backup PG spot. He'd have to get past Steve Blake though.
Seems like that team meeting really helped!
If we keep playing like that, we are very hard to beat. I hope they can convince Pau to come off the bench, it gives us a much better bench and it's...
This.
And as already mentioned, they would lose their flexibility in 2014. Wouldn't make much sense, but hey, it's Jimmy so who the **** knows.
I agree that this is also on the FO. They shouldn't have hired him in the first place. It's not like D'Antoni isn't to blame at all though, because he is too stubborn to make any kind of adjustments....
Why the hell should we be happy? This team is built to win and we wouldn't even get the lottery pick. If they don't make the playoffs this season is a complete fail, no matter how you look at it.
Seriously what's up with people blaming Dwight all of a sudden. Not really his fault that D'Antoni (and the rest of the team) doesn't know how to use him. Offensively as well as defensively.
He has...
All I know is he needs to go NOW. I don't care how. Pay him the rest of his contract but just get rid of him. I've had enough. Getting a new coach this late into the season isn't ideal but I'd rather...
And this is exactly where D'Antoni has failed BIG TIME. Where the hell are Nash & Dwight PnRs??? Dwight's strength isn't posting up but being the roll man. It's not like Dwight gets not touches. but...
But hey, at least our offense is exciting right?
Looks like half of his email got lost when he sent it. What he meant was
"I still believe the Lakers can make the playoffs, if they hire me"
You can say about Phil what you want, but one thing you can't deny is his people skills, he knows how to keep egos in check and how to build chemistry.
Exactly! Offense will take care of itself. Playing for each other on defense, helping each other out is a chemistry thing though and that seems to be our biggest problem right now. Phil would know...
My first thought.
one quarter is not enough. They allowed 60 points in the first half AGAIN. That's just too much and it happens way too often.
In an interview during the game 'Antoni was asked what they have to do to get better defensively esp in transition. Answer: We have to take better shots. Might be true in a way but are you kidding...
This.
The worst part is that he isn't even ready to go to therapy, at least that's what I've read. Why should you feel sympathy? What do you think he would do if he wasn't an NBA player? He...
So I've been wondering this for a while now and I can't really find an answer, but why does the Clippers logo look so similar to the Lakers logo? I mean, same style, very similar fonts, motion lines,...
