    Solomon Hill why did you have to go for the loose ball lol.

    Lakers maybe win that year fully healthy easily better then Phoenix of the Bucks or at least the Brick trade doesn't happen

    AD and LeBron were so freaked out by the injuries and everyone forgets how scary the Nets looked like before Durant and Irving decided to play GM (they had claxton, brown, allen, joe smith etc all ready unreal)

    That being said if they just had kept Caruso this would have gone differentl. Those Denver games all came down to loose balls and pOa defense and just losing slightly

    Yes, an uncoachable pain in th a$$. Clearly a day to celebrate. Still a good player, no longer great but I do appreciate the ring and wish him the best. Now we can get on to actually building a team. Many teams have won championships without him including the Lakers, we can do it again. Basketball will be fun to watch again.

    Uncoachable? Some of these comments are just weird? Lebron played exactly how JJ asked him to last year. Damned if you damned if you don't. I guess the whole team quit on Ham but I've never heard Vogel or any other coach complain about him not being coachable and that includes Steve Kerr in the Olympics

    I agree with what you said, but at the same time it was time to move on. You’re not winning a title when your second best player is a 41 year old player. It’s been time that we get younger. Old players don’t get younger they just get older I hate to sound like Charles Barkley, but in this case he’s right. We aren’t beating the Spurs or the Thunder in our current state and we need to get younger.

    I'm prejudiced some on him; he's a local kid, like Vando. He's streaky, not really great at any one thing, but he can hoop.

    Thing is, we're not getting anyone better, no matter if he's 20, 25 or 30. If i hear "next year is the year" one more time, im gonna snap... just watch Rob say exactly these words though LOL.

    Too much drama , need for attention and fakery for not so great results by Lakers old standards ( yes , I'm living in the past) .

    Good riddance .
