Poaching the Lakers

Despite losing in the Finals, everyone with a brain stem expects the Lakers to have a championship-caliber team next season. And honestly, it’s difficult for team’s to do much of anything to prevent it, short of cloning a certain coach on the Boston bench.

One approach opposing GMs could take is diminishing the Lakers bench by poaching their RFAs or, at the very least, kindly over inflating the market on Vujacic and Turiaf. But, alas, it doesn’t appear anyone is taking this tact. Lakers haters worldwide will veer toward the nearest cliff if they can resign their bench heavies at 2.6 and 1, respectively.
