- If the Lakers sign Marc Gasol, I would like them to also sign Pau Gasol - at least for ceremony, so he can retire as a Laker. One of my favorite human beings to come across in my travels.
- Losing Kobe and Gigi has brought out the best in so many people...Im not crying..... yes. Yes I am.....

- I see Boban was waived, I feel it's the NBA's responsibility, all 30 teams, to figure out how to keep him on a roster
- OK, new theory - Lakers only signing former Lakers
