Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

No one has said yall's arguments don't hold weight, you have it backwards it yall Laker haters saying all the ideas the Laker fans make don't hold weight, then laugh at us and call us homers.

The fact that you anointed some of us "Laker haters" shows me your a homer. No one in here has directly said "the Lakers aren't good", "the Lakers suck", "Kobe is a scrub", etc. We all know good and damn well Kobe is a great player.

But we also wasn't born yesterday. The only people who think Kobe is a top-5 player in this league are Laker fans/homers. He's barely a top-10 player, in my OPINION. Because I have an opinion, does not make me a *****.

Hating is looking at Derrick Rose's MVP year and saying, "Dude didn't even average 10 assists, how did he win MVP" or something like that. Not stating the obvious, such as, "The Lakers aren't what they once were" or "They're not a legitimate threat in the West like they used to be" etc.

Actually there has been, by ESPN Chicago and the Chicago Tribune. Or do those not count now?

Oh no, those count it just doesn't change my point. Yahoo, ESPN, NBA.com all say the Lakers are going to try and trade for Howard. Does it make me "delusional" for talking about what I think the Lakers will try to offer to get Howard?

Also everyone needs to chill with the "homer" talk. I don't care if you are a Lakers, Bulls, Knicks or Clippers fans, thats still considered a personal attack and against the TOS. Don't get banned over some silly stuff like that.

Derrick Rose just said "I wouldn't trade my teammates for anything in the world."

Haha we know he wouldn't. And honestly, I wouldn't trade Noah either.

Noah means as much to the Bulls as Rose. I personally want Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose to finish their careers as Bulls.

I just wonder...if the Magic placed a great deal in front of us to give us Dwight Howard, can the Bulls afford to pass it up? I'm not sure I'd know how us Bulls fans would feel.

I told you already, im not going to argue with you. You clearly cant have a conversation with anyone who doesnt tell you your opinion is always correct. You can continue with your pointless insults, and wasteful opinion.

You quoted a paragraph from me and then said yeah and then send Bynum to Orlando for Dwight (or whatever, not worth me scrolling around and quoting). I never once said in that quote that Lakers would be able to land Dwight, I was purely talking about CP3. Not at any point did I say the Lakers are landing Dwight with Bynum (sans Gasol). You attempted to insult me on something that I never even said... yet I have pointless insults and a wasteful opinion?

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

What is your point? LOL. You just accused Drewski and other Laker fans of "delusional speculation." I asked how can it be delusional if multiple sources say the Lakers are going to make an attempt to trade and some believe that the Lakers will have one of the best offers.

I'm not sure if you know what the word "delusional" means.

That's EXACTLY what some of your Laker fan brethren are NOT doing.

Well Houston is trying to make moves but we keep failing... Can't say I'm that surprised I just want an NBA caliber starting center ;-;

That's a tough one definitely, but I said from the start that the Bulls wouldn't want to tear apart 3 of there starting 5 (or any combination involved with severely altering the DNA there) in order to land Dwight. The obvious pull for wanting Dwight is immense but I never envisioned the Bulls changing out such a solid team so quickly. I think Boozer playing more efficiently, and a shooting guard, is really all that's needed out there to be established contenders/champions for years upon years.

Tough to pass up, but I think the Bulls stand pat.

No, you have to take it. Howard is a better defender and rebounder than Noah (his two strengths), and has an offensive game.

With Howard the bulls would win multiple championships. There is nobody like him

When did this become the **** on Drewski thread. Granted, the lakers are my enemy right now for obvious reasons (COME ON BILLY KING) but he's not doing anything anyone else in this thread isnt. There's tons of speculation about all the teams right now.
