PrintIn the Lakers' 96-98 loss to the Pacers last night, the only positive takeaway is that we found our point guard in Pau Gasol. Wait, what?
The Lakers once again lacked support from anyone not named Kobe Bryant, failed to make their freebies, and were out-rebounded by a team anchored by a guy with a broken nose. Rather than ramble on about played out story-lines, here are Mike Brown and Andrew Bynum talking postgame, and the best pass that you'll likely forget. It's only Monday, why am I so tired?

He only played 26 minutes lol I think its the team as a whole. I also get the feeling Drew is disappointed at NOT being traded yet. He wants a bigger piece of the pie and its not gon happen here

I think trading Bynum would get us Deron
But obviously it’s an absolutely HUGE risk, and the only way we do it is if we know we can get Dwight… Which I don’t see any way we could know that…

I think the nets would go for that IF they couldn't get Dwight
Then we’d hafta find a Serviceable Center. Flip Pau to the bulls for Noah and Taj Gibson maybe

I was thinking sign-and-trade Pau for Dwight with another team other than ORL in the off-season
No way we’d get Noah for Pau, the Bulls refused to trade him for Dwight – not sure why they love him THAT much but… Also don’t know how the new CBA affects sign-and-trades exactly…

Dwight to Chicago will never happen.

Hadn't thought of that.
But basketball-wise that’s the place for Dwight, they have the pieces to get him, and it’d definitely be a team able to crush the heat…

Seriously though, that's crap, I really hope that's not true...

he's not leaving adidas
and they’re not going to let him go. If they have them in one market, they’ll deal with that. That is the most primitive line of thinking ever. Lebron plays with wade and they’re both with Nike, sooooo… its just a bs reason

Because other teams are just sitting waiting to give the lakers whoever they want
Its not as easy as picking up the phone, calling and making a trade. Plus we don’t have that many assets.

Man, you love some Andrew Bynum
When he can do the normal stuff right he can have more of the ‘pie’
He disappears. Plain and simple. He was beasted by Dwight. He is not what you are trying to say he is.
Give him more of the pie? That will equal more losses.
He could stop bitching and actually contribute like he’s part of some big three… but no, he’s content playing the way he is- normal to slightly above average.
I'm being too harsh on Bynum...
I’m sure. But, this losing… it’s hard. It’s tough to see this team play.
Are we insane?

His body language is horrible. Sometimes it looks like he just doesn't give a shit, and that's what is so frustrating.
He said the other night that he just took himself out of the game mentally after getting those two fouls. WTF?! You just decide you don’t care anymore and take yourself out of the game mentally? And we’re supposed to see you as our franchise player in a few years if you stay?

Yes it does.
Fisher comfortably on the bench with Blake and Barnes and CP3 sometimes running with the bench to keep them scoring would be an entirely different team to Gasol and Bynum lazing like oafs with the bench.
Riight
And our shooters would magically make shots too lol You can coat shyt in chocolate but that doesnt make it a candy bar. Our bench is horrible. Ill admit The starters would b better but beyond that meh

Why not?
I would agree had he not stayed injured up until this point. Consistency can only b gained thru continued game action. Not by playing 30 games then missing the rest n vice versa. Kobe went thru it, Dwight has gone thru it A majority of young players go thru it. Its part of the game. Flashes of Brilliance followed by meh play lol

Drew has actually had a better season thus far.

numbers wise, drew looks better
but i like pau’s passing when he’s in the game. everything flows a lot better. i’d prefer to have pau over bynum at this point. that 26 point game showed us a glimpse of pau’s potential. i think his shoulder is still bothering him
Follow me: @theshmoes.
I'm sure it is. Not like he's had a chance to rest it at all. Like Kobe's wrist, they both got hurt in the same game.

Potential ..
At 31-32 years old we shouldn’t be seeing glimpses of potential from him. He should be consistently good.

What players are showing "potential" as a veteran?
At some point you are what you are. Pau isnt gonna get any better than he is now. I have yet to see a player “breakout” at 32

Sorry, I was kinda unclear with my post lol
If Drew doesn’t “break out” in the next year or so, I’m not convinced he ever will. He’s been in the league a long time, even if he is young, and he’s had a lot of time to develop. I just don’t want to rely on the 30~ year old version of Bynum to suddenly have that mindset. I’d rather deal him while people still believe in that potential.
Lol
I gotcha..I think the longer he stays healthy and plays he’ll breakout and by that i mean he’ll play well consistently. Which is my only issue with him

Offensively, I think so, but since Pau's offense has been rather poo-ish overall, I'm not sure that's saying a whole lot.

it has been poo-ish because of Bynum getting the bigger piece of the cake
and Pau being relegated to the high post to facilitate and shoot 19footers. Im not saying he’s not effective at the high post but we need him down low; with his savvy finesse skills scoring wouldn’t be an issue but then again his will and desire to score is somewhat lacking.
"If at this stage of our careers we're the boring team, then we're the boring team. As long as we get results." - Kobe Bryant

Personally, I take this as an issue with Pau.
Pau can receive the ball in the high post and work his way towards the rim when his defender closes out, and take that elbow jumper if not. Starting in the high post doesn’t necessarily mean staying there, and Pau in the high post is some of the most “spacing” we have haha
They can do more...simply stated
MUCH MORE

yes.
by next year, luke will be a nice piece to have at the trade deadline just because of his expiring 6 mill.
teams looking to cut payroll to get under the cap will really like his expiring contract.

I can’t agree. both have had disappointing games, but if I had to choose based on regular production, I’d say Pau has been better because of his more consistent defense

Not to hijack the thread...
But…can someone please monitor the troll activity on the SSR FB page? Some extreme racism showing up.
That is all.

yeah…and maybe “extreme” was a bit extreme, but have you read that guy’s FB profile? wow …and his post definitely does not fall in line with our values here at SSR

Drew got out hustled by a guy with more heart and a broken nose.. trade turtle for a bag of chips and call it even.

With the way things are going in the standings....
It seems more and more likely that The Magic have the best shot at resigning Dwight. The Nets just suck, we are struggling with the new system/players & Dallas doesn’t have any pieces.
I think the best thing for us, if we cant get Dwight with Bynum, is to hope the Magic can get Dwight to sign an extension. Then, we can go after D-Will, since he will want out of NJ. Id be happy with a D-Will/Kobe/Bynum big 3.

Dwight can just play out his contract and go to Dallas
but yes, D-Will/Kobe/Bynum and actual decent role players sound great
how you doin'

or we can experiment in the D-League
Someone like Luke Babbitt or Mychel Thompson can do the work. Both are shooting 45+% from 3

This is the sign that we've hit a new lows for the 1st time in 5 years
AMMO carried the Lakers to back-2-back titles and we couldn't even get LEWIS MONROE for him...
