The Lakers have been struggling throughout this entire lockout-shortened season. It's no surprise, considering they're still the only team to have played as many games in as few days as they have. Practice time is short, everything is new and players are wearing down quickly. And contrary to popular belief, Dwight Howard is not the answer to all of their problems, which go much deeper. Can Deron Williams fix what ails this team? Does he want to? Will the Lakers get a chance to find out? And if so, how far will they go this season?
To be a championship-caliber team, you have to be able to win on the road, and the Lakers went into Friday's game at Orlando with a 1-5 road record (including a loss to the Clippers at Staples Center).
Paul Pierce to the Lakers is an inconceivable notion to many, but is it the right thing to do for the team? If the Celtics really do break up their team, how can the Lakers benefit?
The real question is who wants the Big 3? How motivated can any of them be if they’re not competing directly for a championship? Is Paul Pierce going to be more compelled to get into gameshape for a fringe contender? Is Kevin Garnett going to be able to bring the same intensity at this age, or has he burned the fire out? Do you really want to pay Ray Allen to be a spot-up shooter on the perimeter?
The Lakers face the Indiana Pacers tonight, back at STAPLES, where they've been very successful this season. But if they really want to compete, they're going to have to do better away from home.

If Boston were to break-up their big three
Ray Allen could be the answer to the three point shooting woes and Paul Pierce could be the answer for another shot creator. Either one would work well, but could the Lakers actually acquire either of them with the limited assets they have?
by Actuarially Sound on Jan 22, 2012 10:00 AM PST via mobile reply actions
We might be able to get Ray, but apparently he and Kobe wouldn't get along (or so I'm told).
Pierce I don’t think we could get with the limited assets we have… These guys aren’t the answer anyway, we need to get younger, not older.

I actually think Kobe would be fine with Allen. Not so sure how Allen would be with Kobe, though.

After playing the equal opportunity system where most plays start with him as the first option
I don’t think Ray would necessarily be happy here. Especially if we’re playing him behind Kobe. Kobe at the 3 would work some, but not all the time

Ray and Kobe have patched things up.
I wish there was a video but during a game Ray apologized for that comment that he made about kobe after Shaq got traded when Ray said something like, “just wait, in a couple of years he will be demanding a trade because he wants more talent” Ironically, that actually did happen.
I don't consider myself a hoarder just a person who loves to save things
Ray made more comments after the 81-point game, and even though he backed off, that wasn't cool.

Nope. If Odom was still here, the Lakers would have been able to put something together.
I doubt Danny Ainge would want a package that includes Blake, MWP, Walton, Fisher, and McRoberts.
i think he's looking for draft picks. they're not looking to stay contenders anymore
Follow me: @theshmoes.
I doubt anybody gives them picks because they are old.
Ainge would want cap room. Thats most important. It would give him the opportunity to sign two very good players quickly.
by E-ROC on Jan 22, 2012 10:46 AM PST via Android app up reply actions
they have cap room for next year
Allen and KG aren’t on the books, they’ll try and get something for Allen. I think they’ll try to re-sign KG. He’ll probably retire in Boston.

He has been getting hammered and more often than not he walks away when he doesn’t get the call. After what happened last season, I’m not really surprised, but still. Is it resignation?

Doc rivers is looking to get younger and he is looking toward the future.
I don't consider myself a hoarder just a person who loves to save things
Also, do we want some more 30+ players on this squad?
Will they be able to guarantee a championship this year or next? I don’t think so. I’d rather go with something else.

Phil in NY, I doubt it, but knicks fans will be hoping and praying
Devin Harris has really fallen back these days, well there was so much buzz about him early in his career. Getting about 25 min. a game in Utah and doing OK. Could be a good pick up for Lakers to help run the offense. Shooting overall is not so great as you say—two of his last three were good with that (4-5, and 5-9 respectively).
GET TO THE RIM HEAT (and SKY)! ATTACK THE PAINT!
*Shooting overall is not so great as Daniel Buerge suggests...
GET TO THE RIM HEAT (and SKY)! ATTACK THE PAINT!
He's a decent pnr player
and that play where Kobe screens for Fish and then posts up would work great with him and Kobe cuz he actually is a threat to finish unlike Fish. But he’s been pretty off most of this year. I think he could be successful here and is a much better option to pickup than most of the other PGs in the FA market. He also would work as a distributor and scorer when playing with the bench as well. The same problem comes up though. The other guys still need to hit the shots given to them.

I think once the guys start hitting shots
the doubles start coming less and Bynum could show up more because right now teams aren’t even doubling him cuz he’s on a tear, they’re doubling him cuz he can’t pass out the double

Nah. I thought we were supposed to get younger and not older?
It does seem enticing having a old dogs becoming a quick fix but I think we should be building towards the future. In all honesty, I don’t think the Lakers have a chance this season, what with the condensed season and all. Management should be patient and wait for the chips that will help in the long term.
Otherwise, it will be like combining both teams from the 2010 Finals. Man would that be weird.
Yeeah The only player i would want from the C's is Rondo
Beyond that getting younger and better should b the ultimate goal. The million dollar question is who do we give up and for what?

Know what your role is and play your position. Find a game plan and execute it. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET OUT OF THE GAME WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.
