No offense, but we've only won 18 games. I think we're already pretty freaking serious about losing. Why? Because we're NOT a good team. We simply cannot win without Cousins on the court.

Tanking is a choice. This isn't a choice. This is sucking at a major level.
Fine, be blind. They just made a trade that does nothing for us on the court except make us worse. To "play the young guys". PDA didn't even bother pretending to give the veteran presence line.

It's about losing the rest of the season. If cousins injury lingers for a month, I won't be too surprised.

Don't be so naive. It gets old.

Two D-league talents. Lakers are serious about the tank this year.
Mark my words, I said. The Lakers will find a way to end up with Wiggins or Parker, I said. Pshaw, most of you said.

Do not ever underestimate the Laker ability to fall into a poopoo pond and come out smelling like a rose.

Pretty much this. Malone even stated in his interview that the remaining games are about giving the younger players more minutes to evaluate where they are going into the off-season. Something like go out there and have fun and don't worry about the pressure.

The Divac for Kobe trade comes to mind.

And so does your constant and never-ending negativity. You might find it terribly hard to believe, but not everyone comes here just to see post after post about the team tanking. If you think it's about losing the rest of the season, then fine. I'm going to still root for my team and hope the guys wearing the uniform can find a way to win the occasional game. This is my team, and I love every one of them - even if they do drive me nuts at times.

To my knowledge, I have never intentionally insulted you or made derogatory comments of a personal nature towards you. I would truly appreciate something of the same in return.
 
There's a difference between a FO making moves which essentially force a tank, continued losing, by putting not so good talent on the floor or giving big mins to rookies who might not deserve them, then there's accusations towards players and coaches that they're trying to tank and lose games which we sometimes see here.

I see no truth in the latter. Players and coaches don't try to lose. Malone sure as hell isn't trying to lose. However, there could be substantially more truth to the former where PDA gives Malone little to work with for the time being with the plan to be put in position to bring in more talent this summer.

Rumors are now coming out that Rondo won't be moved until draft day. Well, if we get a higher pick, which we can move on draft day, then throwing Ben out there for big mins nightly and trading JT for Jack(if that were to happen) are two moves which increase the chances we finish with a higher pick, whether we keep it or not.

Oh give it a rest.

You can choose to not comment but you just can't miss a lecture, can you? You don't speak for everyone, and certainly not me.

I'll say whatever I damn well please. As I said, be naive. It's up to you. But kindly leave me alone.
