    Those of you Laker fans who think that losing Ariza would not be a blow to the Lakers are either kidding themselves, watched none of the playoffs, or both. From what I saw he was more consistent than Odom throughout the playoffs and came up with some big plays for the Lakers (e.g. the inbound pass steals in the Nuggets series).

    Odom might be a more versatile player, but he is also one of the most inconsistent players on that team, if not in the league.

    And finally, LA would probably have the extra money to throw at Ariza if they hadn't stupidly committed $58 million to a completely unproven Andrew Bynum.

    Well Ariza wasnt really the important one. If the Lakers dont keep Odom they have zero chance of repeating, regardless if they keep Ariza or not.

    Grim news, but, at least we got the contract year out of him good enough for the NBA Championship.

    Were the Spurs healthy?
    Was it truly a thrashing when the Spurs were up 20+ twice?
    Did the Spurs have Jefferson?

    easily replaced maybe not best choice of words but I don't think its pertinent to LA's le chances to keep Ariza, especially if Bynum finds his post injury game. Keep in mind they were 2 games within a le a year ago with Vlad Rad in the starting lineup... cause the core of Odom/Gasol/Kobe is that good.

    Youre as good as your top 3-4 guys in this league!!

    Not to mention his regular season numbers (except for the 3 point %) are very close, especially if you do per minute calcs.

    The Lakers would have won without Bynum this year, how can you say he is more important?

    I've been to more Lakers games than you have the past 5 years, I can guarantee you that.

    Ariza did a very good job on Melo, Artest and Hedo in the playoffs and the Lakers do not win game 3 without Ariza carrying them through the 2nd and 3rd quartes. Not to mention his key late game steals against Denver. The Lakers couldn't guard Boston in 08 with Ariza not healthy. The Lakers were forced to put Luke on Pierce and Sasha on Ray Allen. You odn't win with two liabilities like that playing heavy minutes.

    Ariza guards the best wing on the other team every game. Kobe is 31 next year he can't be expected to carry the load on both ends anymore

    Seeing as the Lakers already are giving Andrew Bynum (who contributed next to nothing in the playoffs) $58 million, it's not impossible.

    No, Artest can do everything Ariza does but better, especially his man D, and he can abuse smaller dudes on the block. Marion or Hill would be a downgrade though.

    faiiiir points 21... fair points... I'm just assuming they would get a decent swingman replacement like Parker/Hill/Marion/Artest/Barnes... maybe not better than Ariza but ya know.

    If they can get Artest or Marion with MLE I won't complain about losing Ariza at all. Seems like a long shot with only the MLE though.

    Hill and Parker are downgrades though.

    Hey, the boy wants to get paid.

    Can't say I blame him and saying that he's just a scrub is ludicrous but he's also not the savior some here (and Laker Ground) says he is.

    He helped alot but than again so did Sasha the previous year in the playoffs.

    There won't be too much of a drop-off if he leaves and we plug Shannon Brown into his slot.

    As I said before, if it comes to choosing between the two, my heart says sign Ariza...but my head says sign Odom.

    Now if Odom goes elsewhere, I'll be majorly pissed.
