This isn't a good thing. Last thing I want is Embiid in LA. Though, he already said that he wants to be a Laker and has met with Kobe for "advice" along with attending a few games already - I'm calling it now, Dante Exum will be a Laker this summer.
OK Newb Question that I really should know the answer to: Why do y'all put the * instead of an a in L*kers Edit: Oh and FUCK THE L*KERS!
SportsCenter @SportsCenter Kobe Bryant will be out another 3 weeks before being re-evaluated due to continued pain, swelling & soreness in injured left knee.
It's hard for me to hate a team per-se. I do blame David Stern for not creating long over due financial reform in the NBA a lot sooner than he did and even at that, it may still not be enough. With that said, I hate the snarky, cocky, laker fans that don't realize what a gift David Stern gave to that city as well as other larger markets.
I always found it interesting that when you Google NBA the results are always, Lakers, Heat, Teams, Rosters and Standings in about that order. Even if you barely read english, you're going to end up on the Lakers news threads.
The lakers track record of developing talent the last 7 or so years is pretty bad. Let them get the first pick in the draft, so far this college season it doesn't seem like there are any sure fire franchise players, there are players with tons of potential but potential doesn't always pan out. Edit - I mean really developing talent not this overhyped doesn't really pan out after they leave the team D'antoini style thats being run right now.
