[Semi-OT] The Lakers are an absolute Dumpster Fire and I am loving every second of it

@THE HCP has always and will always be a diehard Blazer fan first and foremost………BUT……






look at this steal I found on POSHMARK for some dope ass LeBrons! These should go for at least $200. #RipCity

 

I have read articles about how corporations extend across national borders. They have no loyalty and shift operations to avoid taxes and minimize labor expense. Then they sell to the U.S. after making products in Mexico.

Don't know why I mentioned that, anyway, your part-time Laker work, where were we Fams. Oh yeah. The Melo idea is good...did he hitch a ride with you to his Laker interview?

 

Well, my uncle was admitted to Harvard and was later a CEO with 10,000 employees, but not a nuclear physicist. Much later I was the declared physics major, but I became a hippie, though I read layman's science daily, and I don't mean Jake. But you were close! Almost.

Okay, it's another day, get on with the fighting thread! Round 4, DING!

 

LOL Bronny's first "action" as a Laker was about as good as if my 54 year old ass suited up for the Blazers. I don't fault the kid.... but "LeGM" is dragging the Lakers down the Sewer with his nepotism and arrogance and I love every damn minute of it.

 

I bet Bronny doesn't even go to the G-league. He will be the 3rd or 4th off the bench.

 

Relax….he will be on the opening night roster until he gets playing time with his pops and then you’ll never see him again. He’ll be sent to the G-League until his 2 year deal is up and off to Europe he’ll go. Him being on that roster isn’t keeping somebody off it who would have any impact whatsoever.

 

Or they give him a huge roll and they tank for the #1 pick?

 

That would be odd since the Lakers don't get their own pick - it goes to Atlanta.

 

So you expect me to know that?

 

Right? Some on here DO have too much time on their hands. Shit I don’t even know what picks our Blazers have year in and out.

 

Casual! That’s what the C in HCP means right?

 

I know you're not asking, but luckily Portland owns their first as long as they are in the lotto. They owe Chicago a lottery protected first. The Milwaukee/Boston picks from the Dame trade are a bonus. Portland controls their firsts, which is important to me.

 

How long can we keep deferring that pick we owe the Bulls? And I’d like to hold off recovering those Bucks/Celtics picks until they suck!

 

IIRC, 2028

EDIT: Yup

 

That is actually a decent deal. Just keep tanking until it’s a second rounder and we lose nothing. Except games of course.

 

and fans...

 

We're going to be losing that long regardless... We'll lose more fans if we're a perpetually mediocre team. The rest will come back once we have a real future...

 

2028? Ha. Embrace the tank for a decade he says.
Whatever.

 

No, I said we should have done it sooner and harder. Because it is now going to take that long since we didn't. And if we don't get serious it will probably take longer.
