    If by the right way you mean the right way for a high profile large market,
    and
    If by Cap space and picks, you mean Cap space (because they haven't acquired a lot of future picks)
    and
    if you ignore the fact that they overpaid Kobe taking up too much of their cap,

    then, I very much agree.

    With the stupid Buss child running things, they might be in for a long rebuild though.

    If the Lakers loose out on Carmelo which is looking like they will I wouldn't be surprised if they went after Luol Deng.

    Matter of fact I'm quite surprised we haven't heard anything about Luol Deng yet.

    Can anyone remember the last smart move the Lakers have made?

    Talked to a guy playing poker last week who rooms with a current Knicks player and who's tied in with a couple agents...said that Jeanie was totally the one responsible for the k*be contract.

    Also said Knicks players have "zero expectation" that Melos coming back.
    Fwiw

    Not doubting your story (cool story bro!) but I'm more than a bit surprised any NBA player has a roommate. Seems like that would be economically unnecessary.

    Will Barton has friends live with him in Portland.

    Zbo had the "hoop family".

    Oh, good point. I was thinking about 'share the rent' rather than 'share my salary'.

    Yeah. And Oden had a good support group living with him, too. It's important for young players.

    They got rid of Andrew Bynum. Signing Jeremy Lin just gave them the largest fan base in the universe..they're going to sell 3 million Lin jerseys. (oh I forgot, they'll only sell one because it'll get bootlegged in Hong Kong in 5 secs)

    Lakers won't sell that many, the companies in China that make cheap knockoff jerseys will sell them, lol.

    Along with an #1 that could end up a lottery pick for one season of Dwight Howard.
