Pathetic

In order to make a trade, you have to (a) have something the other guy wants, and (b) get something the other guy wants to give up.

Neither of these apply to the idea of trading for Kyrie Irving. Just because you want something doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to get it, especially if all you offer in trade is the likes of what’s left of Steve Nash.

As yourself a serious question–Why on Earth would the Cavaliers want to trade Irving?

He’s had zero interest in LA.

So good to have Pau Gasol so that he can play starting center when Howard can’t. However Dumbtoni is the most ignorant coach in the NBA not starting him at power forward where he belongs. While Earl Clark has done well he is no Pau Gasol and he needs to earn a starting spot, not be given it to him by the most clueless coach in team history.

Talking about improving the Lakers just how good would the Lakers be if they had Kyrie Irving instead of Ancient Trash Nash? Kyrie had a great 35 point game Saturday and he’s the point guard we’ve been looking for. Time to trade Trash Nash and Steve Flake to get this great young point guard instead of the two worst excuses for point guard we currently have.

At this point in the season I’m hoping the Pistons pound the Lakers and help pound the final nail in the coffin for Dumbtoni still being coach. Why keep paying this moron when the team seems to have found a better offense and defense ignoring him? I say let Bernie Bickerstaff coach the Lakers the rest of the season since he’s the only coach this season that has a winning record with the team.

Fire Dumbtoni!!! Trade Trash Nash!!! Trade Steve Flake!!! We Want Gasol!!!

I think it’s cool of him to try and “man up” for the team, especially in a contract year, but he needs to heal up. Plus it’ll give Pau more time out and build his confidence back up.

That’s using a very loose definition of an event that’s “coming up”….LeBron isn’t a free agent until the 2014 offseason, when he might opt out of his current deal.

So that’s 16 months away – almost a year and a half – before he could be signed.

Lakers are a possibility. I like the sound of that. Trade Gasol, Howard gets healthy and signs extension James comes to Lakers. Sounds good to me.

Playing hurt to prove your tough is stupid. The Lakers should sit him for at least a week. As the first poster mentioned he will never get healthy if he keeps coming back. He shouldn’t let Kobe’s mouth make decisions about his body.

and honestly how long is that shoulder gonna hold up against that
