Remember this tweet responding to ESPN's prediction for the Lakers? <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>12th I see..</p>— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) <a href="https://twitter.com/kobebryant/statuses/367555749989203968">August 14, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Actually ESPN had higher expectations. The Lakers finished 14th. This dooshbag is DONE. So sad (but hilarious) to see him try to stay in the media spotlight.

Translation (if true): The Lakers are punting and have given up on next season. They are fully aware no free agents are coming this summer. It will be yet another year in the wilderness for Lakers fans and the shine on the organization will dull even further. Their only hope is to draft a promising rookie that gives everyone hope for the future.
If you want to have a nice laugh go to Lakernation.com reading their comments after they found about D'Antoni.
Lame. Kyrie is on his rookie deal and they're going to re-up on him. He'll be in Cleveland more years. The Lakers are going to have to wait for Kobe to bounce before they can move on.

the other rumor was that were going to get rid of their #7 pick in a deal that would facilitate Klay Thompson to LA and Kevin Love to GSW. but that rumor train has already left the ESPN LA building Wolves and Warriors could just swap one for the other- why does LA always have to be in the mix? just because Klay's dad is an ex Laker/announcer, everyone expects it to happen. ps they have 7 players on their roster including Kobe and Nash, and they don't have a coach.
make that 6 players on their roster: Nick Young has opted out http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-to-become-free-agent-latest-details-reaction
Fans left campaigning for Nick Young to stay. Fallen on hard times over there. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Lakers fan promoting billboard campaign for Nick Young <a href="http://t.co/4XHT19LvYG">http://t.co/4XHT19LvYG</a></p>— Mark Medina (@MarkG_Medina) <a href="https://twitter.com/MarkG_Medina/statuses/481926410081021952">June 25, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
