Yeah, that's my feeling as well.

The dude just won the 6th Man Award and Lakers management wanted to off him... Pretty low, IMO.

Lets not forget that trade was for cp3, it's not like they were trying to trade him to free up cap space. The trade being declined is what messed everything up.

Pau is old, but I still think his struggles aren't his age, it's operating under a non-triangle offense. Pau isn't getting the touches he was getting under Phil Jackson. D'Antoni's offense is even worse for Pau since it requires fast, young, athletic players to operate. That's why the entire Lakers team was in the hospital for the Spurs series, D'Antoni literally grinded these old men into the ground, especially Kobe.

If Kobe and Pau stay, D'Antoni needs to leave, and Phil needs to come back. Otherwise, I could see Kobe and Pau fighting injuries against and the lakers getting wiped out in the 1st round.

I definitely agree. Kobe could stand out and shoot 3s until he turned 50 especially for a team like the heat, but that's not kobe he has to be a part of the core. I think D'Antoni is a problem, but not the biggest one. I would like to see them bring Phil back next year, but after the way they treated him I don't know if he'd return.

Yeah, David Stern helped contribute to this current mess as well... Hopefully someone is jabbing needles into a voodoo doll of Stern.

No Phil won't be back.

Kobe's wheels have a lot miles on them, he's a hard working guy and a fierce competitor, but after his Injury he will never be the same, I say this because of the way he plays, and his age.

Hard to rebuild with Kobe being the center peace with a 30 million dollar contract

If Lakers want to rebuild, they need to do what Celtics did. Blow up the whole team and leave only young talent, which I don't think the Lakers has any.

His contract runs out next year. If he wants to make a run at a championship he will take a lot less money.

Yeah, let's see how important a championship is in relation to money... It's not like the guy is hurting in that department.

I am guessing he will take less money and a lesser role ( in terms of minutes). Phil will be back after this year unless Mike does something spectacular (guessing not). I predict Lakers have a frustrating season because we will see some flashes of brilliance that get us all excited and then they will lose a bunch.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Lakers then get one of the top 3 free agents in 14. I would not even put it past them to land Lebrick. Just when Laker fans are ready to kill Kupcake, he pulls something ridiculously good off. Just my opinion.

Lakers will probably not make the playoffs this season. If you live in SoCal and want to see an L.A team move deep into the post-season, you have to get onto the Lob City bandwagon.

Wouldn't be surprised if both the celtics and lakers make the playoffs this year. At the end of the day winners get the job done. In 3 years both organizations will be back in contention w/o lebron. I'm not a laker or kobe fan, but at the end of the day kobe one with a wide variety of people. Lebron had to go to Miami and get help...

The scary part is that the Lakers aren't even really guaranteed a playoff spot next year. That's how stacked the West is.

OKC, San Antonio, Clippers, Houston, Memphis, Golden State are pretty much guaranteed to get seeds (likely the top 6, in no particular order).

So that leaves 2 seeds up for grabs.

I guess I'm too much of a traditionalist.

Same goes for the Angels... They'll always be Los Angeles' second baseball team in my book.

I'm pretty sure he is talking about the present. And I agree with Litos, the Lakers team is a disaster right now.
