Exactly. That's was Denver cry of "no mas"...[I'll throw this and it'll be over and I can go spend my money. I can't take this . Beating Kobe ain't worth this agony] It's why CWEBB walked away from Horry in '02. It's why Wallace walked away from Horry in '05. Winning isn't always what you do, but, what the opponent does. They just want it to be over. Phil knows that. Gasol as well. Kobe knows it, but, can't profit from his knowledge. Nobody else. Pop knows that. Manu too. Maybe Duncan. Nobody else.
Seems everyday that we don't hear something the less likely it is that he is returning to the Lakers. Gives me the impression that Buss has no intention to sweeten the deal. Because if he did I think Odom would have signed by now. Either the drama queen is gonna come crawling back to the Lakers or pout his way towards Miami.
By trading, do you mean getting Wade for nothing
Ok, just kidding.
Artest is an upgrade over Ariza, no question.
If LO leaves, Lakers will get some cap space they can use in 2010; how can they replace LO via a trade ? They don't have a valuable asset, unless you send a package including Farmar (we all know Shannon Brown is better), Walton and Sasha, then there is a possibility.
what does it matter? according to mavs fan, dallas already has the best bench in the NBA.
That's what Dallas was thinking about the Warriors in 07. They figured that just because Golden State manhandled them in the regular season 3 of 4 times doesn't mean they could do it in the playoffs. And you saw what happened, they ended up on the wrong side of HISTORY...
Some teams just don't match up well with other teams. The last few years, Dallas has been a bad match up for the Spurs, Spurs were bad match up for Suns, but if last year is any indicator,(and especially if Odom leaves) Portland appears they could be the Lakers match up nightmare with that length they have. The guy who wrote this article even said Portland will be the team with the most length if Odom leaves L.A. Long, athletic teams who can neutralize the Laker frountcourt are the L.A. kryptonite.
YOU are delusional. I didn't "champion you as a fine example of Laker fandom!" I gave you credit for at least admitting when you were wrong about something, instead of copping out and saying "some questions just don't deserve to be answered" or ignoring the fact altogether, like some of your brethren.
And facts are facts: you were a Suns fan up until the last 1-2 years, so quit walking around with your nose in the air with your " eattin grin on yer face" like you've accomplished something personally. All you've accomplished is making yourself look like an arrogant little who jumped the bandwagon in 07 after watching the Suns get stomped by the Spurs for the 3rd time in 4 years.
Nope, you contrasted me to Luva and said I was a good Lakers fellow. Then when I gave your Spurs Fandom a good red assin' you came down on me with the Lakers routine again, Dunc.
I got ya, Dad, dead to rights. Oh, yeah.
You're the one that should fear them, since they beat the Lakers the last 2 times they played. Especially if they somehow win their division and have home court vs. L.A., it could be all over. When's the last time L.A. won in Portland?
Denver and Dallas are not a threat. The Spurs are #1, and Portland could end up #2 on the list of teams set to dethrone L.A.
Way to completely not address my point.
Is Trevor Ariza a better player than Ron Artest? Your answer will determine if I even bother reading your posts from here on out.
The Mavs kickin' your ass all over Texas withstanding.
tee, hee.
Los Angeles Lakers, 2009 NBA Interim Champions
Wrong again! Look here, you weak little . Time to fess up again...
Here's the post you are referring to:

Like I said, you are delusional to the point that you are making up fantasies about what I said to you. Go write a poem and bump your appreciation thread. I'm sure its down to page 3 or 4 now on the board...
Well, there was that time in 2000 when they were down 16 in the third quarter and Kobe put Pippen into a Portland area burn unit. That game was the point of crisis on the cusp of the trio.
I thought Dr. Jack was going to have a double coronary.
You must have a reading disorder. I didn't say the Lakers would be 3rd. I siad the Spurs are #1 and the Blazers could be #2 IN LINE TO DETHRONE l.A.
As in #1 threat and #2 threat to the Lakers, WAKE UP, you dumbass...
And yeah, in most cases regular season success does not =playoff success, unless it's just a bad matchup (Dallas vs. SA, GS vs Dallas, SA vs. Suns). Portland=bad matchup for L.A.
I God's, Dunc, yer right again!
But, I will bump my appreciation thread.
Capitulation accepted!
As for bumping the appreciation thread, have at it...
I think you like my thread, Dunc. You just pretend to hate it so the others won't catch on and call you a got, or gay or douchy.Capitulation accepted!

This coming from the fanbase that has created 1500 "Is Kobe as better than Jordan" threads... on a Spurs board.
The Spurs need to prove to the rest of the NBA that they are indeed contenders this year. It's not like they made it to the WCF or the Finals last year and then made a bunch of upgrades.
They got THOROUGHLY SLAPPED BY THE WORST DALLAS MAVERICKS TEAM IN 5 YEARS 4-1 DESPITE HAVING HCA in the 1ST ROUND. There is a difference.
But, they're inert unless all the I's are dotted & T's are crossed, the entire roster is set and 125% healthy, its their turn to own Stern, et al.
slapped only because Manu was out and TD was playing on one leg. It's true that they need to prove that RJ/McDyess can mesh with the regulars. But it's not like the Spurs completely overhauled their team.
That's so f'in weak & puny. Have some gd self-respect\take your ass whipping & soldier.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
Josh Howard was playing on one freaking leg for crying out loud.
Stop your ing excuse generating, pussy, ass, whining mouths and just admit the Spurs weren't very good last season. They sure as weren't winning a championship, even if they were healthy.
I made a thread a week ago, and I still stand by it. Even when 110% healthy, the spurs don't possess the talent, physicality, and schemes to even be a top 3 defense in the league anymore. Boston, Cleveland, and the Lakers have better scouting, schemes, personell, and talent just on the DEFENSIVE end than SAS even when healthy.
Eh.
This is gonna be a fun year.
