LAKERS 2014 Draft and 2014-15 ROSTER as we go to press doesn't have enough Players on it for the L.A. DREW League..."SQUEEZE the ORANGE" talking Staples PURPLE & GOLD and the BLACK MAMBA and NASH-ty all by their Lonesome! #LAKERnation #LAKERgang #LAKERGirlsStillFire #Team16Chips

We all know the Logo like most Professional Sports is a "What have you done for me Lately" and the Lakers who was dba Team 16 Chips now has fallen back to the scariest word in Professional Sports "Rebuilding". The one positive for the Lakers is they have plenty of Salary Cap Space but they must use it wisely Kobe Bryant (24 months at $48 Million at age 35). KB24 took matters in his own hand with Super-Agent Rob Pelinka signing that extension in October 2013 knowing the Lakers had plenty of Cap Space for his Retirement Package.

Now enough of the Black Mamba dba Vino and in the 2014-15 season dba "Look for the Young Fellas around you Kobe". Lakers Shooting Guard Nick Young dba Swaggy P decided to test the market as he made a poultry get this $1,106,942 in the 2013-14 season and for Team 16 Chips that was a steal. Steve Nash the Artist formerly known as NASH-ty now dba Steve Nash of Santa Clara University Broncos says he is staying put a a $9.7 Million in the 2014-15 season and says," he deserves that Cash" taking a Page out of Kobe's Book. Let's take a closer look at the 201-15 Roster as the Black Mamba, Robert Sacre, and Nash are the only one on the Books for 2014-15 including 2014 Lottery Pick Julius Randle of UK Lexington.

the LAKERS 2014-15 Roster as we go to press...

SG #24 Bryant
PG #10 Nash
C #50 Sacre
PG @Kbutta5
PF J. Randle (2014 st Rd Pick)
Combo G J. Clarkson (2014 2nd Rd 46th Pick)

Those three players count against the 63.2 Million 2014-15 NBA Salary Cap at $34.1 Million...@KButta5 has a Team Option of $915K for 2014-15 that I assume the Lakers picked up or will pick up..

Most likely back with the 2014-15 Lakers that played with the 2013-14 Lakers...as the Lakers have six and need at least 13!

SG X-Man Xavier Henry
PG J. Farmar
SF W. Johnson
PF R. Kelly
PF/C Jordan Hill

That is my five players as the Lakers area leaving Cap Space open trying to lane the "Bully of Jordan Brand" and World's Most Famous Carmelo Anthony as  long shot to sign! What about possibly Pau Gasol as he will be most likely a Dallas Maverick come the Free Agent Signing Frenzy. Lakers have plenty of work to do as they need a quality Front Court Player the way things are shaping up for them in the Summer of 2014!

Note: Even with Randle's Rookie 2014-15 Salary and Clarkson's 2nd Round Deal the Lakers should have still close to $27 plus Million to spend before going over the Luxury Tax Threshold!

360 Degrees....Kobe was one of two players in the History of the Logo to garner $30 Million (2013-14 Season) or more in a season as Air Jordan did it twice with the Bulls in 1996-98. Jordan only made as high as $4 million 1992-94 and a total of $90.235 million his whole playing career with Kevin Garnett (#1 All-Time in NBA Player Salaries) making just north of $327 million in his career including the $12 million plus he will get from the BK Nets in the 2014-15 season!
