    I want to say wtf morey, but lets think for a second. He is from la, he loves la, and he will start for the lakers. Sure, he would be on a better team in houston, but how many minutes would he get behing harden? How is he supposed to show his worth for his next contract in 6-8 minutes a game?

    I'd be so pissed if we signed him. But it'll be hilarious watching him on the Lakers.

    I'd actually like them to make it that far so they're not in the lottery and turning #14 = #3-1.
    Their team as is can battle for 8th at the highest.

    dont really want chuckers like nick young or jr smith on this team...

    this team is all about moving the ball, and those two are proven commodities...to not pass, and to take bad shots
