He's meeting with us because of Danny and CBS, Fakers don't have that kind of combo.
They got Luke Walton with the 39-4 coaching record, Kobe Bryant, their 16 championship banners, and the young studs of Russell, Randle, and Ingram.
walton is a fraud. ML carr could have coached that team to a 39-4 record.
the best thing about kobe is that he is retired. just ask lamarcus aldridge.
the banners are nice. but as long as jim buss owns the team they're unlikely to get another. guy is a clown.
and the young studs? russell and randle led the lakers to the 2nd-worst record in the league last year. their defense is pathetic. people harp on okafor's d. they should watch randle first, he is worse.
offensively, at no point has anyone on that team shown that they can play team basketball. watching the lakers reminds me of 1st-grade basketball, everyone just shoots it as soon as it touches their hands. and ingram, though he does have good potential, has proved nothing, and is currently a stick figure.
so let's pump the brakes on the lakers for now, there's a reason durant has no interest in them. the media hype machine isn't going to save them this time.
