Christ, I remember when Dwight first came into the NBA scene, and folks were losing their shit over his giant ass shoulders and immense defensive play. These days he just looks like a giant baby out there. He should never have gone to the Lakers.
It's funny how guys like D12 and D Will throw their coaches under the bus and don't realise how much of a good thing they're on until it's gone.

I'm not saying that Hill is a Gasol. Gasol is a better scorer, can run the offense, block shots, and has a great heart.
However, the Lakers may amnesty Gasol simply because he is such a burden on the salary cap, and therefore Jordan Hill can fill the void in a way. Is it ideal? Absolutely not, but you can't have everything you want. I don't think they want Gasol to "walk for free", its just that they have to due to the amount of money they pay.

its a wonderful day, hopefully the Lakers will continue sitting in mediocrity for a long time to come. Im hoping next year i get to enjoy a completely Laker free playoff though

Why amnesty him when he's an expiring contract tied to a 7 foot body that has some of the most unique skills in the league? Just trade him if you really want to rid yourself of the contract.

I really hope they don't trade or amnesty him at all. Yea, you can trade him too I guess. A lot of teams would be interested in him so I hope as a Lakers fan that we can get a good deal. Preferably a second perimeter scorer that can take the load off of Kobe?

That last possession was ridiculous. You've got a man advantage in transition, how do you leave Curry open for 3?
Nuggets on defense are just so disjointed sometimes.

Lakers fans talking about signing Jennings, but then again they're also talking about Morris for Rose and making Kobe a player-coach.

Jennings is fools gold. They'd be better keeping 40 year old Nash.
|
Jennings still thinks the Bucks are gonna win in 6
|
Jeez, Curry's range is ridiculous.
|
Fuck me, Curry really is a top 10 player.
|
and then steph curry happens

Just Bruce Bowen him on a jumpshot. His ankles are brittle.
