Turiaf officially a Warrior

[200 miles]

I wonder how much this affects the Lakers without a solid backup center.

spurs hopefully have an agreement with thomas


hopefully lakers do not call horry

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Once Bynum goes down, they're screwed.

[urunobili]

shot is is a bump on our way to thomas... as much as i love horry... he may end up in LA again...

I'm not so sure. The way that the Lakers threw Horry under the bus after his "slump" in 2004, I think he may go Eastern Conference if he doesn't hook back up with us. I don't imagine that Detroit or Cleveland would mind too terribly having him on their roster.

I could see maybe Boston too going after him.

well their lost their glue guy in Posey so.. who knows...

[angelbelow]

the good news is, the lakers cant offer more than the spurs can.

[WayOutWest]

I thought Horry wanted to say close to home, Houston, because of the issues with his daughter?

It would be awful if he ends up a Mav or Rocket....I mean losing in the first round of the playoffs wouldn't be the right way to end a great career...

[Guajalote]

Well, turning this thread back toward its intended topic (:lol),

I'm glad for Turiaf. I went to college near Gonzaga, so I'm glad for him.

Plus, with all of his heart issues hopefully behind him, I hope he has many years ahead of him. Congrats on the payday that I could only dream about. :toast

[IronMexican]

Horry wants to stay in texas,

[mrspurs]

dang...our hopes depend on guys named horry and thomas...the lakers will get any player they want....they will send guys named denzel,jack, and then start with the lady movie stars to kurts house and say come on dude......you know we will be you again if you stay in sa..........over here you will get paid to enjoy the end of your career, come in and play from time to time.....if you stay in sa, you will be depended on like your life is at stake, the pressure at your age will be overwhelming......tick tock tick tock........

[turiaf for president]

im happy for ronny. for those of you who didnt watch him play, he was the consummate teammate. having attended a few home games in person, the man would come out early and joke with his teammates, play horse, talk to reporters and always had a smile on his face. he will be missed tremendously.

i think most laker fans will agree that he will be cheered when he visits the staples center with the warriors

[DDS4]

Good pickup by the Warriors.

[Spurtacus]

Good for the Warriors. Bad for us if the Lakers are pursuing Thomas.

Turiaf averaged 10 minutes a game in the playoffs... without Bynum on the Lakers playoff roster. Sure, it will affect the Lakers if and when they have frontcourt injuries. Even with Turiaf, they'd be affected with frontcourt injuries.

As much as I think Turiaf wanted to remain a Laker (I'm just guessing), I think he realized he has more of an opportunity to play with the Warriors and it's better for his career if he wants to be more than a spot role player. With Bynum returning, Turiaf stood to lose the most playing time.

mmmm same thing in 2 or 3 years tops the spurs will be in the lottery 2 =S

[TheMadHatter]

The Spurs will never be in the lottery as long as Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili are all playing.

[KB24 MVP]

if u say so only Parker is kinda young TD can still play very good but Ginobili breaks down alot

[SequSpur]

Well after we sign Sasha, the Lakers are through.

hahahahaha we didnt even need Bynum and Ariza 2 finish u off in 5 so now we get Bynum n Ariza back and lets just say no Sasha fuuuuuck more than enough 2 sweep them Spurs

A healthy spurs team will beat you in 5. Good luck next yr when Kobe starts cryn about not getting the 1 seed. I have a prediction for you. Lakers meet Phx in first round, Lose in 6.

Write it down!

You've lost all credibility on these boards. I suggest posting at Lakers forum. You'll find many opinions to be similar to yours.

laugh all you want, but we didn't get embarassed in the finals. Sure, would have been nice to have been there but to get bitch slapped liked that has to be embarassing - what was the score of the final game?

Sorry it took so long to respond, I was watching Kobe's bitching tape....It just went on and on. All you Laker fans on Bynums bandwagon, this is the most overrated player in the NBA.

The best think to happen to the lakers was his injury. Gasol at the 5 makes you guys a much more difficult matchup. Move him to the 4 and it will hurt his productivity, Odom to the 3 will take away his speed advantage over 4s.

Plus Bynum will clog up the driving lanes. Why do you think even Kobe was calling for him to be traded last year.

All we heard about durning the season and playoffs is Kobes injury, Bynums knee, so dont give me that. Spurs play ball injured or not and dont make excuses. Any ass clown can see Manu was badly injured.

Shaq and Phx beat LA in 6 and make Kobe eat his ass!!!!

[spurman20]

Only an asshole would hang out in another teams chat room.

Kobe will never win another ring. Believe that!

I'm no lottery team. I'm just your average NBA fan. I don't think it's even possible for one person to be a team.

That might be so, but in a few years nobody's going to remember the faker's WCF win. However, they will remember that ass beatin the fakers took in the Finals. Besides - there's a difference between us giving you that series (see game 1) and the Celtics taking the series away from y'all like they did (fakers were the favorites.) It's kinda like the big kid taking the toy away from the little kid on the playground. All the little kid can do is sit and cry.

Still bitchin about that 2 huh look just like last time were talking here about the Spurs and Lakers so wtf u invlove more teams in this i mean ur team aint got nothing on us so u involve other teams and say Celts beat u or PHX will beat u come on stick 2 ur own team

I'm sorry - is that ass beatin the Celtics gave y'all still too hurtful to talk about. The fact is that the fakers were exposed for the sorry ass team they are. They got a worthless team of Denver for the 1st round, a still young and not quite ready to compete team of Utah in the 2nd round and then a tired and injured team of the Spurs - not a tough path to the Finals and not one to brag about. Your team was exposed and the reality is they will have a tough time competing next year. Everybody that made the playoffs (except Denver) will be better and Portland takes Denver's spot. Lakers might make it out of the 1st round, but that will be it.

None of this chest bumping will be settled until these two teams meet, and are healthy.

ohh ok ur done..? cause ur still goin back 2 put other teams in this cause urs aint good enough why u didnt talk about ur own who might not get more farther then the 2nd round but quick 2 involve other teams aginst the Lakers.

good finally a person here that understands and does not involve other teams but the teams that were talkin about which are Lakers and Spurs.And it had 2 come from a Rocket fan cause these Spurs Fans or whatever would never say something like this unless they involve the Celts or PHX 2 down us

A tribute to Ronny Turiaf (http://lakers.freedomblogging.com/2008/07/21/a-tribute-to-ronny-turiaf/)

He could dance. He could scream. He could defend the post. But he wasn’t worth $17 million for four years. At least that’s what the Lakers thought.
Here’s a tribute to the Lakers top cheerleader and chemistry guy.

[1Parker1]

Gasol and Bynum have proven to be injury prone as of late. If they go down, Lakers frontcourt will be thin.

[JamStone]

Even with Turiaf, if Bynum or Gasol go down, the Lakers will have problems.

Bynum didn't play in the playoffs, and Turiaf still only got 10 minutes a game.

It's a loss, no doubt. But, some of you make it seem like it's much worse for the Lakers than it really is.
