Moved to San Diego from Houston last year and the obnoxious Laker fans are everywhere. It's pretty funny hearing them say "next year" etc... Sometimes I think the posters on here are such homers, but then I look at LG and think otherwise. Cheers CF.
I thought about this too, but ultimately found it impossible since both teams will be asking for Asik. If we had the Asik of PGs instead of Lin, then this would be very feasible. Perhaps, if we also dump White's contract one someone, fitting Iggy into the equation. But I can definitely see both Atlanta and LA feeling having $8.3mil in capspace is better than paying Lin. Especially LA since they'd have to pay luxury tax on that figure.
Most of my friends that live out here in LA, are self labled "diehard" Lakers fans. Yet I live with one of these so called die hard fans and he watched the Lakers first few weeks, they fell off and he didn't watch them for a month. Then all of a sudden would watch a game or two after a couple wins. Then another month off. They have the most fickle fans. If they win a couple of games the Lakers all of a sudden are the best team in the league. Lose a couple are the worst... I apologize for the format of my text. Am using my phone.
Dwight will probably continue to enjoy his vacation through the weekend while keeping a casual eye on each team's activity. Their is not much reason for him to reveal tomorrow.
Canaan, Beverly, Jones, Dmo, Coventry?, (White), Smith are all contracted or will be, add the room exception for Garcia and the 5 starters and how many do you count?
Lol funny to hear other fellow houstonians experience the same thing. I guess most laker fans are alike. Although most do respect harden. My good friend went as far to say harden is a top 10 player. Although sports center could lead one to think this
He should want to get it out of the way so the team of his choosing can start building around him ASAP.
Sadly I don't watch SportCenter as much anymore because they have become so biased in my opinion. I am all for talking to all fans if they have substance to back it up. I feel that most Laker's fans are delusional. I feel like they don't understand anything about basketball and only regurgitate anything the media says at the end of the day.
In all fairness it could be someone who's parents have moved from another city and raised them as a fan of their home. For instance, I moved out here from Houston, but lived my whole life there and am a die hard Houston fan. You think I am goign to let my kid grow up a Lakers or Clippers fan? Hell NO. So one day someone could say to him or her, "you have lived here all your life and your not a fan of "x"
The first trade could be a three way. Lin to x team, draft picks to Lakers, Howard to Houston. Then sign Millsap for the $8.4 million (noticed I haven't heard a word about anyone having interest in him), then trade Asik to Atlanta for Josh Smith. Git'er done Muray.
I won't let my kids be a Faker fan either and they probably going be born here in faker land like I was. They will be a Rockets fan and if they must choose and LA team its clippers or nothing! I will not let my kid root for such an horrible organization ever! Lol! If they ask why illshow them and explain it and than they will see why and aagree lol
Heard earlier that the Jazz are the only team Milsap has met with so far. Also heard they're interested in keeping him now.
