I guess Dwight Howard called out Pelinka today for ruining a "Lakers Dynasty". He thinks Rob tinkered with a Finals winner. Specifically swapping out Dwight & JaVale McGee, for Marc Gasol and Montrezl Harrell. Dwight believes the LA frontline got worse.

the bubble Lakers were loaded... what was Pelinka thinking ?? Why hasn't he been fired ?? Is LAL just saving Rob for the "Rebuild after LeBron" era ?? Maybe he's really good at draft picks?

should LAL take the "Dame offer" from Miami for Anthony Davis?? Herro, Duncan, & draft capital for an MVP candidate sounds perfectly fair.

I truly believe you should not be able to talk shit about teams that are better than yours. Just my opinion.

In related news, it was announced today that this board's name is hereby changed from "RipCityTwo" to "The Washington Wizards/Detroit Pistons board." Content about better teams will be banned.

Portland is not on national TV every week. They can lose with ambiguity. When the bad basketball is over, a new draft pick resolves into a brighter future.

The Lakers are on national TV every week. They traded future picks to build this squad. NBA fans show up by the millions to test drive the Lakers Bugatti, and get handed the keys to a Daewoo.

I was taught to be able to back up shit talking at all times. Can't talk shit about teams better than us....so I guess that will work.Those are the only ones as bad as we will be.

I save the shit talking for those BELOW us in the standings. Just how I was raised FAMS!
 
Magic Johnson & owner Jeanie recently hopped on podcasts. They want Laker fans to give JJ Redick "patience". They insist Coach Redick should be given a learning curve.

Laker fans aren't buying it. That's a fanbase that goes after the head coach. Imagine the Blazer weirdos who were upset with Stotts coaching, amplified by 10 million weirdos.

Johnson and Jeanie want the Two-Timeline approach, LBJ doesn't. The fans don't either. Not until LBJ retires, then the fans will bitch about how stupid is was...

Just like everyone will be bitching if we don't tank as hard as possible right now and then never have enough talent to actually compete with this group.
 
someone tried to snitch on Jarred Vanderbilt's foot injury. The trendy tweeter claims Vando declined a procedure back in February, he's still having issues, and Jarred will need injury rehab during training camp.
 
this is good news for teams wanting those LAL picks. Shit at this rate Bronny might be the backup PG. ROTY and SMOTY anyone? anyone?

there was confusion in the preliminary rookie of the year discussion. Nobody knew who these guys are. Edey is 7'4" so they gave him 8 votes. Enough to win the rookie analysis contest.
 
rando Laker fan after learning of Woods surgery: "something is fishy, this isn't normal. The NBA is trying to stop LBJ from winning more rings then Jordan."

... thinking outside the box is difficult for fans in LA. It's like a faulty ice maker switch. Cubes, water, and towels strewn around kitchen, until a neighbor comes over and unplugs the fridge.

Christian Wood is a 6'9 Runnin' Rebel. A lightweight but rangy post player with decent range. (Brandon Ingram possibilties). The 2015 draft goobers had him pegged to be a 1st round pick, but alas he went undrafted.



He joined up with the Sixers G-League team, got spot minutes in the show. Wood bounced between the G-League and the NBA on minimum contracts for the next few years.

He had a very promising season with the Pistons. The Rockets saw serious potential, and Christian Wood finally earned his bag. 3 years 41m. He was a scoring 18 - 20ppg on the post Harden Rockets tankers. He got traded to the Mavs and did allright.

Then he joined Team LeBron last year on 'steal of the summer' Free Agent minimum. But unfortunate injuries have prevented Christian from showcasing his Lakers championship skill level.

What if they trade 5 second rounders to us for a Toradol junkie? Can we talk shit then?
 
another round of blame the Wizards for signing Valancuinas.

basketball can't start soon enough. The podcasters are recapping the most annoying topics of the summer.
 
Shams mega tweet of the summer, possible Breaking News. The Lakers might sign former Raptors rookie Center Christian Koloko. He averaged 3 & 3 in his inaugural season.

he had a respiratory scare and a blood clot issues last year. His rookie contract was waived. He recovered with corrective surgery. I wish the best for the young man, and glad he's healthy enough to return to the NBA.

other teams interested are the Clippers, Spurs, or re-sign with Toronto
