Yep!
Have a good weekend. I agree with Harlem Heat...I am through with this silly thread.
i never thought i would see anybody worse than spurscenter but damn i found one
haha ive supported the lakers getting artest since the ariza news break out.
good stuff if you're a spurs fan.
Go yourself and your lame "I'm a better fan than you" BS.
It'd be nice if the Spurs were the team everyone was looking up to, but that's no longer the case.
Artest is a huge talent upgrade over Ariza, and PJ has a history of turning nutcases into champions. I think this deal solidifes their championship chances next year.
It'll be interesting to see how Artest works out. He's a ballstopper in his own offense and is prone to boneheaded play. But at his best, he can be among the best players in the league.
Ultimately, though, I don't know if this is an improvement over Ariza. Lakers don't need another offensive threat and Ariza was already good defensively.
Guys...
We are in big troubles...
If we can get Rasheed, we can just reach even in the interior.
But how can we defend Kobe + Artest? Jefferson+Manu?
PG will be the only advantage.
Yeah our PF really sucks.
I really think that this trade simply doesn't improve the Lakers drastically. Remember, Ariza is a young, long, and athletic player who doesn't need the ball in his hands all the time. Artest on the other hand, is better offensively, but he's older, slower, and less athletic than Ariza. Sure he's an upgrade, but it isn't an upgrade that will make the Lakers nearly invincible next year. The RJ trade was definitely better than this Artest trade for the Laker. The Spurs simply through away big stiffs and they got themselves a solid SF who can both score and defend and isn't a nutcase like Artest.
lakers have no bench and all sources are pointing to odom leaving
no worried about a guy whos defense is not as good as it used to be
there will be a problem soon trust me
There are NO SIGNS pointing to Odom leaving...quit making up crap. This move makes it even more likely Odom stays. He was one of the main guys pushing Artest to sign.
There is no chance Odom is anywhere but L.A.
quit getting your hopes up.
Leaving for where? He's lived on the beach his entire career. Odom grew up playing AAU with Artest. He's going nowhere.
insecure
There are NO SIGNS to Odom staying
so what if artest signed and is good friends with him or whatever thats why they got him
thats ing stupid
Odom is going to get paid
reality check![]()
love it. i hope they lose odom as a result.
So every major sports outlet is on the side of Ron? Ron is on board with the Lakers, it's as close to a done deal as you can get before July 8th.
to your moms house
thats what yall said about ariza
"oh hes from LA he will defintley stay"
houston gets the younger better guy while Lakers are getting older than the spurs![]()
Well, Phoenix isn't the beach, but it's still a sunny, western state and the Suns have money to throw at Lamar.
No they don't, not enough.
who is going to pay Odom anymore than 8-10 million? NOBODY...Lakers are willing to spend on Odom seeing as they didn't have to overpay for Artest and let Ariza go.
you are a complete idiot if you think any team can offer him more than the MLE and even bigger idiot if you think the lakers won't bring him back.
We'll soon find out.
No sign other than Odom saying he wants to stay in LA, and he'll take less money to do it.
No sign other than the Lakers clearing money on draft night to resign Odom.
No sign other than the Lakers NOT spending more than the MLE to keep money free to resign Odom.
IMO signs point to Odom staying with the Lakers.
The Lakers remained far apart on negotiations Wednesday with their two main free-agent pieces, forwards Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza.
from the la times if you know how to read dip
phoenix reportley offered 10 million to odom there is about 5 other teams in the league that can offer odom 10 million and trust me with odom possibly coming off the bench which he wouldn't want a punk like artest in front of him there is no way he sign with LA on the cheap, you and some of the lakers s need to come to reality that odom is not going to settle for 5 million a year![]()
^^ Not sure what's dumber, your posting or the "Redskins 2010 Champs" you have in your le.
The question surrounding Odom has always been will he play for love or money? He said he loved winning, but he's also gotta "feed the family" (man, I hate that - yeah, how many millions you acrue is all about feeding the family...).
Go feed the family, Lamar. Do it!![]()
i dont know where yall are getting that he will take less money to come off the bench he must be a idiot to do that,if he falls for that then thats props to the lakers but i would think feels disrespected by that e ally that the lakers spend money on artest and they cant get him a contract. the lakers will have a good starting lineup no doubt about it, but who will be your six man?
Lakers spent there whole MLE on artest last time
yah and laker fans thinking odom will settle for less money and come off the bench is dumb by anyone that thinks that
redskins are better than any football team in LA?![]()
