    Cap space is great, but cap space isn't going to be putting up 15-10 for us on a nightly basis. Hope Morey has a decent backup plan, cause or else it looks like this offseason is screwed.

    I thought the Lakers still had to make the cap room? Pull that draft pick back!

    I don't get why we trade Lin unless we had something lined up with Bosh. That's a head-scratcher

    Wow! Hope he does well, he has been in the gym non stop in Asia. But just heard about Bosh. He is really getting the max. Maybe Nash can be a mentor!

    You're happy about trading an expiring contract and a 1st rounder for nothing? I'll give you $0 dollars for $100 dollars my friend.

    Sweet, now he can't be a scapegoat for Rocket's losses. I wonder if the finger will now be pointed at the real culprit now.

    Excellent post, especially in light of this past playoff run.

    That is a small sample size. I am referring to a larger body of work such as the entire season. However I do think he totally lost his confidence here and did hurt us at times in games (which can be said of other players also). That said, IMO, the elephant in the room is our coaching situation. We're not going anywhere with this offensive system. We need to play like a team (ala SA or even Miami - they(Miami) have tons of curls, screens and picks and that's with a roster that boasts or boasted some of the best talent in the NBA). We play dumb.

    I thought Lin was going to end up in Philly, but Lakers seem like a decent fit.

    I think this move is good for both sides, though losing out on Bosh, maybe not...forgive me, I'm lazy, but what do the Lakers give up?

    So who will be the new scapegoat for the Rox?

    Naw, he'll go on Lakers forums so he can keep trying to bash Lin fans. For some reason he's obsessed with his fans.
