Because you would be committing 65 million at least to 3 players, then add 20 million for Kemp and your at 85 for only 4 players. Sorry not going to happen

Sorry you're wrong, Kobe is still putting up the same old Kobe numbers and Pau and Bynum combo is younger than the Boozer Noah combo. The whole "old" thing is based off of Kobe and until he plays like he is old it wont matter.

Like I said, our payroll is currently 80 mill (including over 10 mill in salary to Manny and Jones), we will be able to add 100 mill to that 80 mill into the 180 mill range. So yes we could pay them 65 mill AND have 35 mill left over for offense. Even if it takes 70 mill to sign all three we could still do it.

how do you see them jumping to 180 million in payroll?

180 million? As long as you have your head up there, why don't you check for hemorrhoids?

Kobe has been really good, but has been inefficient and leads the league in shots Lakers are good defensively but I don't see them scoring enough to beat elite teams like Heat, Thunder, and Bulls. They do have 3 good options but we will see if that is enough to carry them in the playoffs and Kobe has played a ton of minutes.

Also Kemp's salary or Kershaws wont come out of the 100 mill we have to spend. Kershaws total is already figured into the 80 and Kemp will get a 10 mill increase in pay that isnt figured into the 80 mill. But the deadweight contracts coming off cancel that out.

Money that will be coming off of the 80 mill total very soon

Uribe 8 mill
Manny 10 mill

Where are you getting this extra 100 million from? The only team that can support that is the yankees and that is only because of YES, last I checked there was no plan for the Dodgers to have their own network like that

Dodgers currently get 25 mill a year from their TV deal. The new TV deal is gonna be around 4 billion for 20 years, so that's 200 mill a year. That is where the money is gonna come from. And it's why the team is about to sale for 1.5 billion.

Again why wouldn't it be?? We are adding almost 200 mill a year in revenue, even if the owner pockets half of it we would still be able to raise the payroll to 180 mill. Why would the Angels be able to do it and not us??

Hey, I've always wondered, why does Chavez Ravine smell like diapers?

Were the Cubs planning on going hard after one of those players???

I would assume they will go after at least Hamels or Cain. I don't think they have 30 million committed next year

Like I said, I could easily see 1 of the big guys and then a secondary player like Greinke or Marcum, but no way do I see one team getting all 3

Gonna be kinda hard for the Cubs to land any of them, maybe they could get an Ace after next year once the Dodgers payroll rises.

How can an always injured Rip help the Bulls in the playoffs?

Kobe is scoring at the same percentage as his career average, which is also right around where Rose shoots. It all comes down the Lakers getting a scoring PG at the deadline, all signs point towards them landing sessions which should be enough to win a title for sure.

You're delusional. The only 'Los Angeles' team that's winning a championship in any sport any time soon is actually located over here in Orange County.

Angels?? right now we have an 80 mill payroll (pre100 mill added) and we STILL have the number 1 and 5 player in baseball according to MLB Network. The Angels will be better for us for 1 more year, there is no doubt about that, but after that LA will be back in Dodger hands for good.

What's it like living in fantasy land?

Once a troll, always a troll. I don't know how the Dodgers board puts up with him.
