Why are their daily Laker updates in a Laker thread on a BLAZERS forum? We have a monthly around the league thread for a reason.

this is a Lakers Dumpster Fire thread, not daily Lakers updates. The GM in LA built a team of oft-injured players, which creates a lack of depth scenario. It's why the Lakers fizzled out last season, and were quickly dispersed from the playoffs.

The Lakers GM rebooted the same sequence, while the owner is running around telling everyone about her championship Lakers team. Meanwhile we get word that the GM is supposedly scrambling at the last second to find impactful role players.

"NBA" fans received "Breaking News" from the media last night. I posted my interpretation above. It was a tweet from Shams that Pelinka added his signature to the return of Cristian Koloko.

Like many many "NBA" headlines this offseason, Lakers stickers were attached to every good player on the market.

---> If the Lakers land Koloko, and he helps Los Angeles win games, good for them.

If "Koloko's return" was simply an advertising stunt by Los Angeles media.. it can be interpretated as fuel for the Dumpster Fire.

this Blazers/Lakers rivalry goes back almost 50 years.

We, as Blazer fans, reserve unequivocal rights to talk smack about the Lakers.

right now, Blazer fans have the luxury to lose games proudly, because it helps the lottery pick.

right now, Laker fans have no draft picks, and losing games offers a sanctuary of comedy.

Blazers fans get to laugh at Los Angeles fans screaming at their current management if their season fails.

Why can we laugh?? Because Blazer fans recently went through a similar situation for a decade, as GM Olshey added a cascading waterfall of overpriced talent to a Blazer squad that was consistently First Round playoff fodder.

Blazer fans can actually relate to Lakers fans. I'm sure folks in LA did plenty of smack talking about the Blazers, as Lillard & Co. torched their squad multiple times while the Lakers were "rebuilding", before they added Davis & James.
 
did you know: Allen Crabbe became the 31st highest paid player in the NBA while Olshey was GM ??

we've seen what bad management can do to a Franchise. We see it in LA, and fans in LA see it too. This thread is a culmination of Blazers fans bonding with Laker fans. Both teams seem to be heading for rough waters.

If there's only one Laker fan (HCP) fighting off all criticism, the best way to resolve the dispute is watching the Lakers vs. Blazers.

if Billups rebuilders knocks out Redicks super champs..... this thread 100% gets to light up like Christmas

Let me explain this so that HCP can figure out the thread. My garbage is picked up every Friday.

Actually I have 2 garbagemen. So there's always a job for you somewhere. One gets my recycle bins. I call them milk crates because I remember the milkman, when most people couldn't afford an electric refrigerator, the ones who had electricity. They left a note on the porch as to how many quarts they wanted. I lived one summer in 1964 in Canada on a lake with an old ice box, made of wood, which had a block of ice under it on a shelf. When the block got small after a few days, the ice man delivered with tongs. But I digress.

So the other garbageman gets my green plastic dumpster. Nowadays they have wheels. Before that they were made of dented metal, and we played them like drums till our parents got mad. 30 years ago I had to carry it out, full of dirty reusable diapers I had packed in. But that stinky little tyke no longer lives with me. Anyway, I hope I explained what a dumpster is. It's almost a government job so you should look into it. We need Laker news every Friday at 7 am.

I (and we) am/are allowed to talk shit about the Lakers in perpetuity because as a true lifetime Blazer fan, it is in your DNA to hate the Lakers with every fiber of your being. I wish them to go 0-82 every fucking season until they disband from embarrassment and financial ruin. And you, "HCP", of all people and posters, as an OG Blazer fan from "NEP" like me, should feel the same way. You fucking live the DREAM of every childhood Blazer fan, you WORK/WORKED for the damn team. How you can say that reveling in the misery of your team's sworn enemy is somehow bad is beyond me. I'm glad that my original post has become the defacto "LAKER HATE/RIDICULE" thread, and hope it goes on for as long as this message board exists.

Go Blazers, and Fuck the Lakers

Sir/Ma’am are you comparing the Lakers to garbage?

@THE HCP has always and will always be a diehard Blazer fan first and foremost………BUT……

I have read articles about how corporations extend across national borders. They have no loyalty and shift operations to avoid taxes and minimize labor expense. Then they sell to the U.S. after making products in Mexico.

Don't know why I mentioned that, anyway, your part-time Laker work, where were we Fams. Oh yeah. The Melo idea is good...did he hitch a ride with you to his Laker interview?

Well, my uncle was admitted to Harvard and was later a CEO with 10,000 employees, but not a nuclear physicist. Much later I was the declared physics major, but I became a hippie, though I read layman's science daily, and I don't mean Jake. But you were close! Almost.

Okay, it's another day, get on with the fighting thread! Round 4, DING!
 
LOL Bronny's first "action" as a Laker was about as good as if my 54 year old ass suited up for the Blazers. I don't fault the kid.... but "LeGM" is dragging the Lakers down the Sewer with his nepotism and arrogance and I love every damn minute of it.

Relax….he will be on the opening night roster until he gets playing time with his pops and then you’ll never see him again. He’ll be sent to the G-League until his 2 year deal is up and off to Europe he’ll go. Him being on that roster isn’t keeping somebody off it who would have any impact whatsoever.

Or they give him a huge roll and they tank for the #1 pick?

Right? Some on here DO have too much time on their hands. Shit I don’t even know what picks our Blazers have year in and out.

I know you're not asking, but luckily Portland owns their first as long as they are in the lotto. They owe Chicago a lottery protected first. The Milwaukee/Boston picks from the Dame trade are a bonus. Portland controls their firsts, which is important to me.

How long can we keep deferring that pick we owe the Bulls? And I’d like to hold off recovering those Bucks/Celtics picks until they suck!

We're going to be losing that long regardless... We'll lose more fans if we're a perpetually mediocre team. The rest will come back once we have a real future...

Whatever.

No, I said we should have done it sooner and harder. Because it is now going to take that long since we didn't. And if we don't get serious it will probably take longer.
