Dodgers, Angels, Rams, Lakers, and Clippers Discussion IV

[Reclamation Project]

Didn't say he was the clear #1, but it certainly helped his case that he's a former Trojan. I'm sure I'll find out down the road. I know a few big wigs within USC that made some pretty bold claims about Kiffin.

Surprise surprise:

The Los Angeles Lakers have offered their head coaching job to Byron Scott, according to league sources.

The two sides are now in negotiations on a contract.

The Lakers made Scott a verbal offer on Thursday after Scott spoke with owner Jim Buss. Scott and his representatives are now in the process of reviewing the Lakers' offer.

Scott, the former Lakers star who won three titles playing next to Magic Johnson, has long been the frontrunner for the job.

 

[ADifferentTim]

Finally! At least there's some stability going on with the LA Lakers.

 

[Herby]

I give the Honeymoon about 10 games until fans start calling in the radio shows and asking what they can "trade" to NY for Phil Jackson.

Again, coaches are to the Lakers what goaltenders are to the St. Louis Blues.

AKA a carousel; even then, Byron Scott shall be shown the most faith by the Buss siblings and Lakers fans, to the point that analogy shall be rendered obsolete.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Byron Scott certainly should last longer as Lakers coach than guys like Rudy Tomjanovich, Mike Brown, and Mike D'Antoni. Least one would assume.

 

[The Night King]

Jim Buss is the devil as far as many Laker fans are concerned. Scott should be fine.

Most Lakers fans are still drinking that Kool-Aid.

Thank goodness to the fellow fan who told me that Phil Jackson was the one who brought in Kwame Brown to the LA Lakers.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Ah yes, the great Kwame Brown/Chris Mihm era.

 

[ADifferentTim]

Ah yes, the great Kwame Brown/Chris Mihm era.

That era in the Lakers overall history is so embarrassing, to the point even more people know about Kwame than they do know about LA Kings Captain, Dustin. Yes, I'm speaking as a hometown fan of both the LA Kings and the LA Lakers.

Yes, it's that bad.

Yasiel Puig has three triples tonight in San Francisco.

And one double, for a total of 11 bases.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Giants suck. Sorry, had to.

It's about ****ing time.

Actually, it's WAAAYYY past ****ing time...The Jim and Mitch Amateur Hour continues to underwhelm.

Mitch and Jim were hoping that Doc Rivers would leave the Clippers, but he's staying put now.

Did you actually believe that ****?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Apparently Doc didn't believe it.

That's just ESPN, talking.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Peavy concerns me. He's always done well against the dodgers.

As for Kemp, has anyone heard anything about where he may eventually get traded to?

His agent wants Boston.

Wow, and this trade just happened yesterday. I bet he's starting.

As for Kemp, most likely to the AL East.

His agent wants Boston.

Basically, the Dodgers are now the Red Sox's farm team then.

 

[HYORI 1963]

His agent wants Boston.

He'd probably do very well at Fenway, if healthy. Personally, I'd like to get rid of one of our lefty OF, but unfortunately, those two guys don't have any trade value.

 

[Dawdler]

Stewart and Kemp wanting Boston, shows how selfish Kemp is being by wanting to go to a last place team instead of team that has a shot at the playoffs.

and ESPN just showed the number for the four OF's not named Puig and Kemp has the most AB's but he still needs to ***** about playing time.

I don't think the Dodgers should trade Kemp he will put it back together again eventually, not MVP numbers but better numbers then Either and awful Crawford would put up.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Nice to see the Dodgers **** up the Giants for once.
