The ticking sound you hear is Father Time closing in on the Los Angeles Lakers at Laker HQ In El Segundo California. The franchise has made what is likely a poor investment over the next 2 years at 48.5 million dollars. 18 years 51,000 minutes and over 31 thousand points scored and 5 NBA titles.
The Lakers are 2-4 since his return. My question to Laker brass. Is someone spiking the Christmas Eggnog. The Buss family is delusional if they think the artist formerly known as Kobe Bryant will return to form again. Laker Nation is already suffering under a head coach that refuses to play defense as evidenced by a 114-100 Loss to Atlanta recently. # 24 leads the NBA in turnovers and I think that is what we are seeing. The need for turnover in the Laker organization. Some in Laker Nation think they are entitled to be in the NBA finals every June. Those in Laker Nation who think that way are about as entitled to the Larry O,Brien trophy as Iran is to have a neuclear arsenal and blow Isreal off the face of the earth thus expediting the return of the Mahadi. Laker ownership appears to have pleased no one in this slow walk toward NBA atomic disaster. Laker Management has put themselves in a bind based on this contract they have limited money to spend on one and not two free agents next year. They might choose to release Steve Nash saving 9.7 million USD and possibly using the CBA stretch Clause as it relates to years and money counting against the cap
The stretch clause is explained here.http://www.hoopsworld.com/cba-scenarios-the-stretch-clause We all long for the quote glory days of yesteryear. when it comes to the teams we follow but there is a time when reality and circumstances dictate more things than we would like to admit. For Laker fans here are a few realities that need to be faced. 1. Kobe Bryant is overpaid 2. Lakers will need to go through a period of 2 years being irrelevant. 3. Look to become a shoe in for the NBA Lottery in the next 2 years 4, Install Jeannie Buss to take full control of team for Brother Jim Buss.5. Replace Mike D,Antoni The prosecution rests. It is now the defense councils turn to present a case. The 2013-14 Los Angeles Lakers have no defense but a slowly declining superstar with diminishing skills
Still Undefeated Father Time
