    I can't decide if you're either very clever, very young or just trolling.

    yes its 8.4 mil. we can use it to absorb contracts from a trade or acquisition I believe. think of it as a credit balance.

    We got screwed bad on Bosh but lol at the LOFs crapping on us. I can't wait for Kobe to take what's left of that emotional cripple's pride.

    I think Lin would do well with having Nash on his side. It is not a quite fit for him here.

    Nash by his side? Nash will be in a suit most of the time.

    In what way? You guys were complaining about Harden being ball dominant so it's going to be suicide watch with Kobe. He isn't going to defer to Lin ever. There's a reason why the Lakers PG position is so pathetic. How do you think Kobe will react to all of Lin's stupid turnovers? Lin doesn't have the mental make up to play next to a player like Kobe.

    If you think Wade's knees are bad, Kobe's knees is totally busted. Kobe won't have much play time left. He has been in the league for 19 seasons.

    That is some hate you got there. Anyway, if last season is any indication, Kobe probably won't play much.

    I don't think you watch Laker games if you're making a comment like that. Kobe plays offball WAY more then Harden does.

    Don't care. I actually wished Lin the best before his groupies celebrated us losing out on Bosh. Now, I'll enjoy him standing on the 3 point line looking for the ball or being berated by Kobe. Kobe won't play much? Yeah, ok.

    I've watched plenty of Lakers games. If you think Lin is going to have the ball in his hands more then Kobe then I don't know what to tell you. Not to mention Kobe has something to prove this season. I know you guys are trying to convince yourselves that this is a good landing spot but it's worse then the situation he was in here

    It's a smart move for LA. He needed a new start. He'll be great for business. He'll probably play his best ball since leaving the Knicks. And LA gets a 1st and 2nd rounder to boot.

    Houston gets cap room and clutchfans gets to recover from the 2-yr plague of LOFs.

    Awesome. That bloated contract is gone! He could never live up to that horrible contract.

    Depending on what Morey can find as a free agent between now and Sunday, it may be better to keep Asik and Lin. And not match parsons. Parsons screwed us by signing that offer sheet so quick. Lin and Asik can be traded next year or hang on as expiring contracts. I don't like giving the lakers a draft pick to clear space for bosh given bosh isn't coming. Keep the draft pick, let parsons go, then we have cap space next summer.

    It was a nice dream to add a marque player like bosh or Lebron or melo, but hold the team together and wait for another free agent next summer. Let parsons go, he screwed us big time and is not worth crippling contract in future years. He was great at his current salary. But he's not worth that much money. Let him be an 8 seed or worse with aging dirk. He won't be too sad with 45 million, but he could have had more fun with harden and Howard in houston. It's all about the money for him. Let him go.
