Rumor - lakers have a second meeting with Lakers

Bam!!!!

what???  my english is NOT bad.  i dont understand this sentence at all.

Portland center LaMarcus Aldridge will meet with the Lakers on Thursday in Los Angeles, according to a league source familiar with the situation. The discussion will center on basketball, a league source said. Wasserman Media Group had dismissed various reports that said Aldridge had ruled the Lakers out, tweeting out on Wednesday that Aldridge ?has not made any decisions yet. All reports to the contrary are false & he looks forward to sharing his plans soon.? But those outlets outlined in detail that Aldridge apparently was not impressed with the Lakers? basketball presentation.

LaMarcus Aldridge has cancelled his meeting with the Knicks.
Aldridge's meeting with the Knicks was cancelled once LaMarcus realized that they wanted him to play center in New York, which is reportedly something he adamantly opposes. He will, however, have a second meeting with the Lakers on Thursday. Aldridge felt that the first meeting with the Lakers was too focused on non-basketball things, and the Lakers would like to rectify that. Mitch Kupchak and Byron Scott will participate in the pitch, but it still feels like they're a long shot to woo LaMarcus.

does Lakers just need a center....  where is okafor....

Okafor is going to be an average big man.

The Lakers needed to replace their entire team.. doesn't matter which position it was. 
 
@IHO, go try out for lakers center position.

as lakers center,
rebound - if you are under the rim and no one else is around you, grab the rebound.
if you are the under the rim and your teammate is around you, let your teammate grab the rebound
if you are the under the rim and your opponent is around you, pretend you try to grab the rebound and let your opponent grab the rebound

offense - if you have the ball and the clock is more than 5 second.  dont shoot and pass the ball to kobe.
if you have the ball and the clock is LESS than 5 second.  dont shoot and pass the ball to kobe.

Hack - if you see duncan, howard, AI and etc.  hack them.  everyone else, DONT DO IT.

block -  skip this section because it does NOT apply to you.

charge - if you see someone running at you with full speed, TAKE the CHARGE.  me, J$, qwerty will LOVE to see what will happen.  look at other side, your salary will be over ONE MILLION DOLLAR.  :) :) :)

I'm told Lakers have expressed interest in Amare Stoudemire & Jason Smith

LOL when it has come down to this. Amare Stoudmire and Jason Smith to play center?
 
It makes sense that LMA doesn't want to play center, but that means Lakers have another position to fill.

Or just use Nance "Sir Kobe Sir" Jr as a 5... or as I've said before, sign a mid-level big (is Koufos available?). Forget DJ, his max salary isn't going to be worth it.

I'll even take Robin Lopez at this point.

I actually like LMA quite a bit, he may not be a ring building block but he's a good player with a good demeanor. If Russell pans out and the Lakers can sign another FA next year, they may not be far from glory days.

I'm telling you guys, Greg Monroe.

Has the other Gasol signed with anyone yet?

IHO, you gave lakers too much credit...  robin lopez.  9 mil this year and team option 9mil next year.  yeah, that's right that he is just another jordan hill

finally, we are on the same page..
 
Another suggestion I heard:
Ask Lamarcus, who does he want as a coach.


(Do whatever it takes to get him signed)
 
Boozer, Amare, Jordan Hill, Koufos, Kanters, Scola, Bargnani, Henry Sims, Seraphin, Larry Sanders, Biyombo, McGee, Perkins, Cole Aldrich, Emeka Okafor, Greg Smith, Glenn Davis, Jason Smith

irvinehomeowner said:
Well... looks like Robin Lopez is going to the Knicks as long as DJ doesn't go there.

Who's left?
