bah we played metta, i see him kinda like metta but bigger.

I saw him as a 4/3 (kinda like less athletic odom), like young i see as a 2/3

hybrids O_O

Kenyon Martin is not going to play as a 3. No way..
I doubt there's a single SF he can guard in the league on the perimeter.

so you're basically saying, its another metta...

Worse than Metta... at least MWP could hit from time to time, Kenyon is having hard time BUYING buckets from anywhere but painted ared.

Loving the Wesly Johnson sign, can learn from the best, and finally make his potential into something.
Is Farmar coming back again, would be amazing if so, he fits perfectly into Mike's offense, and he can learn from Nash.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. Lakers should be a bonafide 8th seed at the least. Wish they put Gasol at C and signed a PF instead of getting Kaman, just like when Bynum was injuried in 2008-2010.

Sad to see my second favorite Laker of last years squad leave, has so much heart the dear Artest. Glad I can root for someone else than Kobe with Wes and Farmar coming.

Goudelock is cool too.

I bet every single Laker other than Nash asked for Phil to be the coach.
I have to say I respect his decision and what he's saying. But I felt he missled the entire organization and all the fans during the season. He kept talking about how great LA was, how he wanted to be here. Why lie about it? Now he's saying he got TRADED here, and then he was given the choice to be whereever he wanted to be. I don't like liars. I don't like how he handled his free agency (even if alot of the reports where false). I wish he would've handled it like Chris Paul. If you want to leave, you say you're leaving. It doesn't even sound like he weighed the option of staying, why save Lakers for last when informing the teams he wouldn't sign with? It's stupid. I wish he would've told the Lakers that he was leaving.

Farmar back on the squad. I wonder if they bring Sasha back, that would be cool haha.

I keep seeing people mention the Lakers are after Melo or Lebron next year, I wonder how that will go down. Personally I hate Carmelo and hope they don't pursue him and can't help but feel like Lebron would be a huge signing, probably setting them up for at least 1-2 titles.

I'm actually optimistic for this upcoming season, even if they do poorly it won't be like last year where the sky was falling every day and the whole season revolved around whether or not Dwight would resign.

he loves the attention, its clear he's an attention whore, he doesnt have to talk to the media at all yet it seems like him or "his people" do every single day.
