OT - Details on Lakers' pitch to Melo

[SlyPokerDog]

1) A 15 minute pitch from Magic explaining what it means to be face of Lakers.

2) We're the entertainment capital of world. You're married to an actress. She'll have better/more opportunities than in NY.

3) Movie producer Joel Silver (made Sherlock Holmes, Lethal Weapon, etc) made 4 minute trail about him being face of Lakers that was narrated by Toby Maguire

4) TWC said Melo can pitch a show idea to them. They used example of show based around him and LaLa. FYI, TWC shows 24 Laker-related content.

5) Look how famous last 4 stars of Lakers are and have been after retirement. Being face of Lakers comes with a whole lot of perks.

They missed out the part about how this all depends on the team being good, and it's going to be shit. That part will have to wait for the Blu Ray.

Seems like offering Melo and his wife a TV show would be considered tampering and trying to go around the salary cap.

Kobe must be thrilled with Magic pitching Melo on being the Lakers' face of the franchise.

Lol it's all the Lakers have anymore... Can't buy a team anymore bubs.

 

[julius]

They should just go "um, 16 world titles. Thanks, have a nice day"

No more than what we probably do with nike and addidas...

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Blazesr pitch should include a guaranteed guest appearance on Portlandia AND Grimm

 

[Strenuus]

Yep. You know your team is shit when they don't spend a second talking about the ACTUAL team.

And yet the decision for Melo has come down to the Knicks and the Lakers . . .

 

[BrianFromWA]

what are they going to say?

"K*be may be down to one good leg, but Robert Sacre can carry you guys!"
"There's a reason Julius Randle was available at 7!"
"Sure, I don't think we have a coach yet, but that's beside the point!"

With none of them even near winning in the next decade. Right where Melo should be.

I don't think so. You don't have to be a Blazer to get a good shoe contract and when we negotiate with players there isn't someone from Nike or Adidas saying if you sign with the Blazers we'll give you and your wife shoe contracts.

Offering a 2nd monetary enticement to sign is BS and is against league rules. Paul Allen can't offer to give a player one of his 3 yachts, Steve Ballmer can't offer to put someone on the board of Microsoft if they sign with the Clippers.

My dream is that they sign Carmelo and hire Nate as coach. Statue-fest 2015.

They need Ray Felton at PG

To be fair, they simply said that Melo would get a sit down to pitch his show, they did not say he would get it (that was simply implied).

I hope lakers get melo

He could pitch a show of him and his wife pinching loafs and the 24hr Laker network would air it.

So do I but I also hope the NBA slams the Lakers with similar penalties to what they hit the T-wolves with over the Joe Smith contract. Melo and no 1st round draft picks for 4 years would make me very happy.
