    Bosh is a good team defender. Watch the effect he had on game 4 of the Finals last year. All over the floor.

    I'll take 26.6, 13.2, 4.1, and 38% 3P% at 25 years old over a 29 year old Bosh who is a "good team defender". But to each his own.

    How does Melo cost too much? If you mean he's overpaid then yea I agree but that's not going to stop a team from giving him a max deal

    If the Lakers get him, they won't have any money left to sign the remaining pieces to the puzzle of winning a championship... like a defensive big man who alters shots or a wing defender. It would have to be something like Tyson and Melo to really make sense.
    And Bosh spice isn't saving the Lakers lol, he ain't leaving Miami either

    I'll take Bosh over all of those other guys (Love, Rondo, Kyrie etc.). IMO he's a step in the right direction and he's low-key the best PF in the league right along with LA. We don't need a "superstar" PG with Kobe since their playing styles will clash and Love doesn't even try to play defense.

    If that scenario played out the first move would be to resign Gasol, and fill the rest of he roster with veteran role players and young talent, probably keep a lot of the players they have now, I'm not taking Bosh over Love but I don't necessarily disagree that he might be a better fit in the short term, I just find it hard to believe Kobe had Bosh in mind during his message to the fans, I don't think anyone believes Bosh is going to leave Bron, Miami is going to lock him up, Love on the other hand is out of Minnesota and a friend of Kobe's so we'll see

    and Kevin Love ain't saving the celtics. y'all gonna trade for him and be in same situation with him putting up hollow stats and losing unless y'all get a real star to lead him. he is a Robin ala Pau on the Grizzlies

    Last I checked he got Minnesota ballin, and hes doing it without another star, they been dealing with injuries and they have a lackluster bench, in the east they would be a playoff team so would they be hollow stats then?

    Why are you surprised? As long as that fool pringles is coaching the team the lakers will continue to average giving up well over a hundred points a game.

    Its about 101 to 108 in terms of points scored and points given up. That ? is terrible.

    What are the odds that Jimmy brings Mike D back for another year?

    That's a sick joke. 50/50 probably. If he brings him back, he truly doesn't know what he's doing.

    Your dad was a winner as a owner, he only wanted the best. How the ? has none of that brushed off on you? smh

    I think he will...D'Antoni will get at least the start of another year based off the injuries that have plagued the Lakers this season.

    More concerning to me is the fact Steve Nash wants to return smfh...he needs to hang it up.

    Once the injury plague hit my first thought was, "Damn, this is going to lead to D'Antoni getting another chance." I hope we're wrong.

    Steve is letting his pride get in the way of common sense. He's done and everyone seems to know it but him.

    Mike is coming back and it's kind of disturbing to think about. But I doubt we get a big name this offseason and with that management won't want to pay a coach to sit on his ass.

    If this doesn't get a coach fired I don't know what will. No matter what, these are pros and to have a team get disrespected like this on their home court is unacceptable.

    Agree with everyone. I know we got some scrubs on this team and injuries and blah blah blah.

    The fact is D'Antoni is a ? coach stubborn and struggles to adapt because of his system. Defense is a joke have some damn pride make an effort to stop someone foul the ? out of someone.

    This ? is embarrassing. And this clown will probably get to coach again next year.

    Like Max Kellerman always says, the freaking coach does not deserve the D in his name. Sad thing is, Antoni will most likely get another year... smh
