By trading the No. 7 overall pick and dumping Steve Nash and his $9.7 million expiring contract, the Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly one of the teams ramping up for a run at LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.


The only way to unload Nash's contract would be to package it with the pick which would give the LA some flexibility to sign role players for this team.

Here's a look at the teams that have the space to sign both right now.

The ONLY way I'll be ok with the Lakers signing Melo is if it's with Lebron.

I'll have significant soul searching to do just for having to cope with Lebron being a Laker.

that might be the dumbest thing that the lakers could ever do
Lebron, Melo, and Kobe could not co-exist
especially if they get byron scott as their head coach

Getting the best player in the world and another top 10 player?

Who do you suggest they go after?

that would be horrific defensively and offensively

who will be the rim protector?
who will be the go-to guy?

the lakers have Kobe at 23.5mm for two years, one season of Nash at $9mm, Robert Sacre and $915K and Kendall Marshall with a team option. So if you get Lebron and Melo who will fill out the rest of the roster that is worth a shite?

This is just a publicity ploy by the Lakers PR office to show kobe they care about winning and to show their fans they are trying to turn it around.

So all these Heat "fans" would suddenly become Laker fans? Good I need to lump them all together so I can dislike them all at once.

Man, some of these GM's have no clue on how to build a team and to think they get paid millions to build these shitty rosters
