I don't think it is premature. Team is built for Phil and is not a running team that Mike D wants.

Scott Pioli >>> Jim Buss

Pioli ****ed up an already bad team.


Jim Buss is on his way to ****ing up one of the 5 greatest franchises in the world.

Trade you guys Pau Gasol for him :)

That didn't count

I was assured many times over that the LA dream team would win another title this year.

It's a long season and there's a big (canyon sized) difference between Chris Duhon and Steve Nash and even Morris and Blake. So you never know.

I'm not counting the Lakers out at all.... But Jim Buss still needs to get taken out back.

As Barkley said many times tonight 'Antoni is gonna have to change it up. This team is too old and slow to run that offense even with Nash. It's just not going to work without adjusting.

Maybe they should have just let Bickerstaff take over?

The way Pek has been playing lately, Love has been kind of useless. He's had one or two monster games. In the others he's wasting shots. But he's rebounding at least.

If that's how we want our guys to play though, we may as well make Pekovic the offensive scoring threat around the boards, use Derrick Williams full time, and trade Love away for a strong starting veteran 2 guard.

Yeah, yeah, I know. You don't just give those kinds of players away, even for someone like Love. :huh:

What I don't get is how MD came in talking about how the immediate post up in a half court set is the most worthless play in basketball and that's what he constantly runs to death. No screen roles. He's a ****ing deplorable coach.

dude got exposed to and a bad case of being in the friend circle of players that like to be all buddy buddy on power teams, the olympic squad did him no favors, he was able to get to know all those guys that recruit eachother on the same markets, so he doesnt give a **** now, and clearly wants to play with ____ , ____ and ___ his new starpower pals.

sucks he was corrupted

That's possible. He's been on all-star teams before, though. I know that's not the same thing as competing in the Olympics, but he's had chances to associate and "connect" with other stars in the league.

It's a reasonable explanation though. The dude last year had a chance to let his old contract expire and go to a new team of his own choosing. Decided against it, and re-signed for 3 and possibly 4 more years with the Wolves. NOW he's concerned about the direction the team is moving in? He said he just wanted to win last year. Why the hell wasn't he more concerned back then than he is now? Especially since the Wolves for once in his sorry career will be challenging for a playoff spot most likely.

Also, if your GM/owner is a jackass, DON'T SIGN ANOTHER ****ING CONTRACT with them if that's the sort of thing that bugs you. The way he talks in his "professional" bullshit spouting, it's as if Kahn used his wizard powers to trick Love into signing the contract.

Any way you slice it, Love looks like a ****ing moron right now and for good reason. The asshole can go **** himself.

$10 says Phil Jackson is coaching by the end of the year in LA. Any takers?

Bridge is burned. And no way they're paying for 3 coaches in one season.

So what I'm hearing is.. you're in?

When the **** is Rubio actually suppose to come back? lol that's the 2nd game he passed.
