Please let the Dwightmare go to NY. Basically anywhere but LA.
Carmelo, DRose, and Dwight will be an awesome combo. All 3 guys who are no longer great but think they should be the focal point of an offense.
 
Lakers should go for Horford or Whiteside, and preserve rest of their cap room by getting 1 year veteran rentals for 2017 where there are bigger fishes. I expect Durant and Lebron to sign 1+1 deals. With a young nucleus + an established center, it will be easy to sign 2 MAX players in 2017 to form the next dynasty

Why do Lakers fan under estimate the Talent of Parzingis?
 
I wouldn't underestimate Porzingis, but I wouldn't overestimate the selfishlessness of Melo and Rose.
Especially in a contract yr for Rose, and he was whining about getting paid last year after playing part time for years. Is he going to play team ball running the offense through Porzingis? Fat chance

Brown isnt a head coach but as a defensive assistant, not a bad move. No one has ever knocked his coaching. He just didn't have the commanding personality to manage superstars.
 
Good move.. I heard he was always impressive with the Xs and Os... probably not HC material anymore.

My Update:
I previously said the Cavs didn't go to the Finals, but they did. (My bad) They were swept by the Spurs.
He coached Lebron for five seasons.

He coached Lebron for five seasons and didn't go the the Finals. Then Lebron left Cleveland for Miami.

Was he coach when they played San Antonio?

You are correct. Mike Brown was the coach of the Cavs when they played the Spurs in the Finals. (Spurs swept the Cavs in 4 games)

LBJ has managed to have passive-aggressive relationships with every coach. Spoelstra was not championship HC material, until he was. He was on the edge of getting fired but today has 2 rings. Mike Brown and David Blatt could have rings today if just a few things went differently. Not sure what Tyron Lue did other than happening to be there when LBJ and Kyrie played out of their minds. So I think we're giving the HCs both too much credit and blame.
 
Is it really a good idea to go max on Whiteside with his possible personality issues?

I would rather spend less money on Bismack who is only 23 compared to Whiteside's 27 (or Horford's 30).

What issues does he have?  The kid is pretty legit.

I think it's a good idea to go for Whiteside.  Lakers can afford the risk...they have a ton of cap room and the cap it going WAY up.  They need to bring in someone with cache to entice that 2nd free agent either this year or next.  Bismack or Horford isn't going to make other free agents choose the Lakers.  I know Durant is not coming to LA, but would give it more consideration if Whiteside were there, instead of Bismack. 

Who are the big free agents next year other than Westbrook? 
 
I think Bismack has the potential to be better without the ejections and injuries.

I don't think Whiteside is a free agent draw... if he can't get along in Miami with Wade and Riley there... it's a red flag.

I must've been too busy during the regular season to realize the Whiteside wasn't getting along with Wade or Riley.  How bad was it?  Like Dwight and Harden?  Or Boogie and Karl?
