The crew from lakerholics.com are back as LakerTom, Gerald, “MagicMan” Sean Grice, and Spencer Young from Basketball University talk about some possible names that could be added to the roster, is Marc Gasol long for this team, RIP Dennis Schroder now that he’s in Boston (and will other players learn from his calculated mistake), and our Top 10 Lakers!

Jamie’s Top 10 Lakers 10. Pau Gasol 9. James Worthy 8. Gail Goodrich 7. Wilt Chamberlin 6. Elgin Baylor 5. Shaquille O’ Neal 4. Jerry West 3. Magic Johnson 2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 1. Kobe Bryant
My criteria was based entirely on your impact to the Laker’s franchise. Had to leave LeBron and AD off based on short years of service, yes they won a title, but for my part they need to bring a little more to the table to merit top ten All-Time Laker status. Shaq would have been higher but for how he left the franchise. Same for Magic because of how he under-performed as a coach, President and late night talk show host. Cap was the fulcrum around which the Showtime Lakers functioned, best release valve on offense ever. West is higher than some because of his contributions in assembling some all time great talent on the Lakers.
CARUSO should be #1 on all of our lists, Spence, you’re right!
Some great takes on the Laker roster. I agree with Spencer on bringing back Wes and bringing in Paul Millsap. He’s got 15 mpg and some clutch shots in him!
BRING BOOGIE BACK!!!!
The Laker version of Extreme Makeover. Nobody gonna want Marc, not without throwing away a pick.
LeBron said no to Buddy. That maxed out the cap and then some on 3 guys and took away some of our tools.
Marc gonna be there at the start and at the end. Here’s my thinking: one he would have retired and done Team Espania if the offer was there or the role was right, one has to assume it is not. Also, the Lakers seemingly are in penny pinching mode so I don’t see a buyout the longer the season goes on.
Spencer’s list is really close to mine. I have Shaq and Jerry switched. George Mikan is another one close to making my top ten, he and Coop. Hard to argue with LeBron’s inclusion, Spence.
magicman with the boldness and audacity drops, love it. Hard to argue swapping Magic and Kobe, magicman. High placement for LeBron! Love Cooper making the list, I took him on and off my list a couple different times.
LakerTom’s list with LeBron at #3 wow! Another #10 w/Gasol, nice! Not a lot of Gail Goodrich’s or Elgin’s.
