You guessed it.

I'm obviously disappointed, but hopefully next year's FA crop is a banner one, considering the amount of cap space we should have.
It's gonna be really tough times for the Lakers in the next few years. But I'm loving it! :D

If I were Mitch, I'd go for LeBrone and Melo :p

Seriously, if they didn't opt out, I'd go for Parsons, Gortat/Bogut, Kobe (if he took on a 1-year) and some restricted FA's (Wall, Monroe, Favors etc.)
The latter RFA won't leave. :p

Parsons won't either. He was a big factor in acquiring Dwight.

Gortat I can see leaving, but he's merely a role player at best. The good days of the Polish Hammer are gone.

If we signed Bogut, Kobe and some restricted FA's - say, Evan Turner and Ed Davis - and Nash didn't retire, we'd have:

PG Nash
SG Kobe
SF Turner
PF Davis
C Bogut

I'd be partly happy with that.

Also, according to the Lakers salary link, we still have a 1st rounder in next year's banner draftee crop.

You guys won't tank with Gaslol et al still with you, so forget about that. At worst, you'd get a fringe lottery pick.

And that line-up you posted may work on 2K, but **** me that is shit in rl. Kobe and Nash would be a leaking sieve. Boges/Davis can't score frequently, whilst Turner is overrated.

Don't need Boges/Davis for their scoring. Hopefully Turner can have a breakout year with Holiday and maybe Bynum gone, whilst Kobe should still be going. And like I said, I'd be partly happy with that in rl.

The pick we traded to PHX in 2015 is top 5 protected, so hopefully we can eventually sign LeBrone, Melo or someone similar in a later FA crop, as well as draft someone good if we do shit in 14/15.

Pretty obvious innit?

****, they are no doubt the Carlton of the NBA. ******* scum.
It isn't obvious to me. I've grown up a Laker. I don't really take note of what others think, like your good self Bosh.

I mean, we're the Lakers. We'll land a big fish in the near future :p

NBA board?

But really, the lakers will get 1 or 2 big names in FA next season. The Lakers are that sort of team that will always get by because of their history and how highly regarded they are within the NBA. I could see LeBron wanting to team with Kobe for a year or 2.
