    I haven't watched SC in ages, but wtf? The Lakers still get highlights shown.

    I think all the live night shows are from studios in LA.

    You aren't enjoying the absolute stinkfest coming from the Purple and Piss? I'm reveling in it.

    Not when its ESPN trying to convince people that the Lakers are worth paying to watch. They are only promoting the Lakers so they can afford to pay the NBA that fat new contract. Can't have the masses tuning out that Laker game on TV Friday.

    I mean they actually said that Kobe makes it worth paying to see the Lakers...

    Shumpert if you could get him on the cheap-ish. I think he'll blow up as soon as he gets away from the black hole known as Carmelo Anthony.

    Kyle Singler if you can get him on the cheap.

    I don't know.. doesn't seem like they get much for Thad and Pek.

    What do you guys think of Josh Smith? I'm sure Detroit would LOVE to get out from under his deal.

    Smith for Robinson, Freeland, Wright, and Claver.

    Bring him off the bench with CJ/Blake/Kaman and have him swing between SF and PF.

    I think you could get Shumpert with a T-Rob/Wright combo... we would have to take another contract back (which would have to be JR Smith or Calderon) or find a third team to dump a bad contract on.

    Remember Gerald Wallace shooting 3s? Yeah... Smith is worse... and is a max player.

    I don't think he's max. He's only making 13 million. Just rely on Stotts to get him back to the slashing defender that he was in Atlanta. He used to be a good player.

    Maybe it goes up next season? :dunno:

    You know who I'd like to get but I'm sure most people wouldn't agree with me?

    Rudy Gay. He's someone I would like to go after this summer. I think he would be a great third option to go with Dame and LA. He can create his own shot and I think he has grown as a player since his days in Memphis.

    TRob, Batum, Wright for Gay.

    Lakers still have 8 games on ESPN.....

    Also Rudy Gay is whack. I'd stay away.

    Apparently everyone knew LA was going to suck except ESPN.

    8 ESPN, 8 TNT, 7 NBATV, and 2 ABC games. It's because the league is going to ride Kobe into the ground.

    To compare we have 9 ESPN, 5 TNT, 7 NBATV, 0 ABC

    Also we don't have any whack teams scheduled for the national game. Phoenix is the whackest. Not only do the Lakers have PHX on national TV, they also have Denver and the Knicks(twice!)

    He's a shooting guard. We don't really have a need/minutes for a shooting guard. Between Wes, CJ, and Dame playing the two, we are pretty set at that spot.
