    Anyone feel as things are taking a turn for the worse? Like this horrible rollercoaster of an offseason isn't going to end?

    I feel the coaching search, the Lakers draft, the Shaq trade, Kobe signing, the Lakers are floundering like a newbee caught with his pants down.

    It's very stressful I may add. We haven't had a head coach since June 18th when Phil Jackson stepped down, we had a coach waiting in the wings under Rudy T, and instead Kupchak makes an offer to Coach K and Roy Williams?? Kobe Bryant is now playing the role of player/assistant GM and pretty much is calling all the shots to whatever coach he wants, Shaq of course demanding a trade and getting under the Laker management's skin, the only good news I see coming out of this is the recent news conference to announce Sasha Vujacic as the newest Laker. But since then, everything has been a constant continous cycle of events that keeps not only the Laker management on their heels 24/7, but us true fans that are awaiting what'll happen in the upcoming weeks. Only time will tell is all I gotta say.

    fortunatly, things will settle down in lakerland once Bryant or O'neal is removed from the equation.

    The Lakers are trying to put the pieces to the Puzzle on getting back on track to the NBA Title...Right now there in a "Redecorating" process,with perhaps Shaq Being traded,Rudy T Maybe the New Coach Here,and a few other moves here and there

    But as usual the Lakers always seem to come out better than ever,and believe me i'm not thrilled with that :thumbsdow LOL

    They will be fine in the Long Run..why did i just say that [​IMG] LOL

    Sac King is right. Call me crazy but I'm not that worried. I honestly believe Kobe is staying in LA bc the Lakers can offer him the most money. The Shaq thing will work itself out. If he gets traded ( I would hate to see him go) you know the lakers will get something good in return. Rudy T is a solid coach who knows how to win. You can't blame the lakers for how slow everything is going bc it's out of their hands. It's up to Kobe & Shaq to pull their heads out of their a#$@*. Things will work out in the end because the Lakers always find a way to get things done.

    what an awful trade. shaq for no cap flexibility and at best, a slasher,bloated contract, and a mental case?

    Is anyone here fed up with Bryant? That he'll sign with the Clippers if they move their 12 games to the Arrowhead which is closer to his house? I'm absolutely livid, want to decapitate the whole lakers organization, buss first, kobe second.
