Happy days are here again! Mike D'Antoni resigns as the Lakers coach. I couldn't be happier!

Pretty classless for a guy who did a much shittier job when he was in the same spot.

Dunno where to post this, but: Is anybody else totally sick of most of these commercials during the playoff games? The beer ones are really bad. The Corona "throw your shoes into the air" one is horrible, and the Dos Equis man literally says the same thing every single commercial break: &...

Sterling is a piece of shit. No one is denying that. No one is denying that he is a known racist. BUT So, something he was baited into saying, that was *illegally recorded* in the *privacy of his own home* is costing him a fine like that AND a life time ban?? How is this in ANY way correct??? I loo...

I always wondered how the Spanish National team of a few years ago would have done as an NBA franchise. It's pretty stacked - the Gasols, Rubio, Calderon, Rudy, Navarro, Sergio Rodriguez, Garbajosa, Navarro, etc. That would have been at least a playoff team.

Dragic and a first for Pau sign and trade?

I don't think that's happening. Even if it were the right bball move, Goran's become the face of the team. It would be a pretty big PR hit.

It'd have to be a hell of a haul (Love?) to give up Goran.

Why are people acting surprised? He's a pretty well known racist. Thank you. I'm really surprised at how surprised and shocked people are. Charles Barkley said as much. This guy has a long history of just being an awful, awful person. Why is what he says in private the tipping point to get him out ...

I'd be pretty happy going in to next season with a guard rotation of Gogi, Bled, Green and Archie with spot minutes going to a rookie/project and/or a 3rd string PG (Jahii Carson? Stauskas?).

That whole list is one big "Meh."

I'd pass on making a big FA move and try and improve through trade. Monroe is obviously the most intriguing name, but he's probably looking for a max deal.

They gave Lance Blanks a ballot?

Congrats to Gogi.

Hopefully his career trends the way of past winners like Kevin Love, Zach Randolph and Paul George and not former Suns Boris Diaw, Hedo Turkoglu and Aaron Brooks.

My thing with Chandler is that he still leaves us with no post offense, hes an upgrade from Plumlee, but really with another year of wear and tear how much of an actual upgrade is he? I don't think people realize how truly awful Miles Plumlee is in the post. He has some nice footwork and moves, but...

I'm a big Tyson Chandler fan and a lot of what he brings doesn't show up on paper. If we didn't have Frye or Dragic or Tucker, I'd be more inclined to bring him in because of his hard work and leadership ability. He's legit and can help a young team with his presence on and off the court. But becau...

I think you're a little too high on Olynyk. He's 2.5 years older than Len and while he has good offensive upside, he's likely always going to be a defensive negative.

When Olynyk was Len's age he was averaging 5.8 ppg for Gonzaga.

$8M of it.

TheOriginalOriginal wrote:Ehhhh... Chandler has A LOT of Miles on him. Len would have to show he's ready for 20+ min a night.

I'm counting on it.

Next year is also the last on Chandler's deal, so it wouldn't be the biggest risk.

If we strike out in free agency and are determined to take another big step forward next season, here's a trade I would consider: Miles Plumlee for Tyson Chandler. (with a few caveats, such as a big step forward from Len in the Summer, and Chandler entering the season healthy and without a giant for...
