Let's not forget the Lakers have done their job by stealing Game 3 in Boston. missed a great chance to take a commanding lead Thursday night.

LAKERS BLOGO SERIES

This series looks like it is going to come down to tomorrow night's game. In my opinion, the NBA needs to keep things just like it is before they kill off the golden goose. The NBA has allowed a number of owners and player to build wealth and increase their fortunes. There is no reason for a superstar to stay in Milwaukee or Toronto if he can make the exact same salary in L.A, New York or Chicago. If the NBA institutes a hard cap then the major stars will feel the smaller markets for the lure of larger markets. Teams can pay their stars more money under the Larry Bird exception than other teams can pay them. I think that the NBA salary structure is just right. The NBA already has a rookie salary cap and owners want even tighter restrictions on salaries. Look at how arenas sell out all over the league when the Miami Heat come to town. The Lakers, Knicks, and Celtics are all relevant and ratings are going through the roof. NBA arenas are packed and excitement from fans has not been this high since the Jordan years. I personally find it hard to believe that the NBA is losing money. The NBA is asking for players to reduce their share of the revenue take in the next CBA. According to David Stern, the NBA has lost as much as $400 million dollars over the past year.

The NFL owners are crying broke and say that they are having trouble finding ways to make money off of their franchises. I just don't see this Lakers team as currently configured beating the Spurs, Heat or the Celtics in the playoffs.Īll of the signs are pointing to a lockout occurring in the NFL. They could rent him for half the season to help them get over the hump. Maybe they could swing a trade for Carmelo Anthony.

This team as currently configured is not going to 3 peat. The Lakers may need to consider trading a player like Bynum to bring back another piece. He has played his way onto the All Star team and has put up fantastic numbers night after night.

Whatever happened to the Bynum of three seasons ago? Andrew Bynum is giving the Lakers absolutely nothing in the middle. His offensive creativity is stifled and he seems to struggle to run the offense. Blake looks awkward in the triangle offense. His best days are behind him and he has given the Lakers nothing all season long. This much is clear about the current Lakers team.ĭerek Fisher is done. They have regressed and look like the Kobe Bryant Show. The Lakers lack energy and they need a spark. This year's Lakers team does not resemble the one that won the NBA Championship just a season ago. The team just lost a big game to the Boston Celtics.
