Like a .500 tem at best. is anyone imp0ressed with Pau Gasol? He's soft, doesn't bang boards. Gets pushed around. Doesn't have a perimeter game like Dirk. uy thinks he's Kareem Abdul Jabbar but no sky hook. Not really athletic either. Just a tall skinny gangly guy. Very unimpressive. Oh, and whe things get tough? Count on him to fold. Guy is just a personal loser. I'd have kept Odom over him.
Like Mc Roberts and the other new guy so far. But those are just effort guys. Lakers have needed them for awhile. Murphy. But Fish is old. Kobe is aging. Gasol is slow. With Odom gone they are not as big as they used to be.
I love the Lakers. It's funny. I had no favorite team when moving to LA in 1983. I picked the Clips bec I figured with all those draft picks their time was coming and had to be good. My dad always loved the Lakers. I eventually switched back to the Lakers when they got Shaq and Kobe. Maybe slightly before. Like after Kareem retired. Never liked him. First time I can ever remember really pulling for them was losing to the Bulls in what, 91? So anyway, right now he Clips look a lot more interesting than the Lakers. No history or culture of winning. Not sure if the team knows how, but man are they fun to watch. Lakers are actually kinda boring now. Kobe doesn't have that many years left. Don't see how this team improves or gets better. Think trading Ariza and then Odom were both big mistakes. Made LA get older and older. Same with Sasha and Brown and Farmer losses. Can't let youth walk like that.
