Ariza would've been pushed around by James. Artest will guard him much better...He was one of the top defenders in the league. He is declining rather quickly. Ariza would have given James a tougher time. Better by a long shot?
We only need motivated Shaq for one year

You are right.
I apologize, sorry if I offended you
How about this:
Nice 1st post, even if it wasn't your 1st post
The Hornets have Mo Pete
Lol, Varejao getting under Gasol's skin so badly, LO still going to shine if he wants to. So Moon better wish that Odom doesn't show up when they play against each other or else........
Referring to Shaq as "dominant" is laughable at this point in his career.
Yer way short then:::he ain't been motivated since Buss ran him off.We only need motivated Shaq for one year
What does >fify< mean, Lefty?
Just keep your fingers crossed that the Queen gets her Ring.
Orrr not. To get no.5 before Kobe and TD. He also wants to put the fake Superman in his place.
Fixed it for ya.
Thanks, KING.
ok geniusThe Hornets have Mo Pete

Because Shaq is getting older, is likely to have injuries and miss games. And LeBron has bad games against the Lakers because the Lakers two seven footers at the basket contest LeBron better than anyone. If you need proof just look at thee LA/CLE games last seasonThe PG matchup:
Mo Williams/Delonte West will be huge headaches for the Lakers D. Good luck containing either one of these studs.
The SG matchup:
Kobe won't have the luxary of being guarded by a pg anymore. Anthony Parker will make him work for his points and contest anything and everything Kobe attempts. Parker has the size to give Kobe
The SF matchup: is the best player in the league and Artest is declining so badly it isnt even funny. Bron will often send Artest to the bench with foul trouble and GMAFB about Luke Walton or Adam Morrison.
The PF Matchup:
With Jamario Moon and resigning Varajeo, we have guys who can matchup with Odom/Gasol. Varajeo would get under Gasols skin so badly that he would take him out of his game. Moon's athleticism is flat out sick and he will lock down on Odom. This would be the stupidest thing i ever read if I hadn't just read about your SG matchup
The C matchup:
Shaq is still a dominant bigman who will own the out of Andrew Bynum. A rejuvinated Shaq scares Laker fans. They know how great Shaq is when he wants to be. He wants to win a ring for the king and he will.
The Bench:
With these amazing signings, the Cavs have even more depth than the Lakers do. Gibson/West/Hickson/Moon/Z>>>>>>>>>>>>Farmar/Sasha/Walton/Odom/Powell/Mbenga.
I am calling you out Laker fans. If you have any guts to disagree, explain to me why you do. Explain to me why the Cavs offseason wasn't better than the Lakers. Explain to me how the Cavs arent a matchup nightmare for the Lakers.
Shaq can't stop Howard. Prime Shaq didn't even try very hard on the defensive end, and now he is 37, much to old to ''Stop'' D12
Name some matchup problems then
This thread is all full of win....why because of the great and courageous first post.
Lol Moon and Parker
Lol 81 points.....
Paker can't gaurd Kobe at all. I've seen him destroy him too many times. Also watching Moon play on the Raps last year and he barely got off the bench....good luck.
I like the Shaq move, since I'm a fan. Still, good luck getting owned in this thread. I give your Cavs a better chance next season.
You got one player, James...the remainder is just a mish mash/Chinese fire drill of waiver wire materiel, ham & eggers, and retreads.
Moon started 114/132 games with the Raptors. He should be a good pick-up and adds great depth to the Cavs bench.
Right now I'd rather LeBron on Kobe and Moon on Odom than having Hickson guard Odom or Parker guard Kobe with LJ on Odom.
Um I did in my original post. Our PGs will give Phillip Jackson headaches. Shaq will be a major issue for you guys. Bynum will get in foul trouble, Gasol cant guard him, and Mbenga?
Lebron James of course is a matchup nightmare as well.
Kobe will be Kobe but Anthony Parker will be why Kobe struggles against our suffocating D.
You win the pf advantage on the offensive end but we win it on the defensive side. That's a wash since neither of our pfs will do anything.
How could I forget about Leon Powe. Just wait until he gets back from his knee injury. That guy will give this team yet another weapon and another player to worry about for the Lakers.
this homerism is hilarious. then again, every team has their homers.
god i will love it when lebron leaves cleveland so i can shove it in the face of all these blind cavs fans.
Like they lit us up last year? Or how they lit up the playoffs?
Like he lit us up last year? Ariza, Walton, and Kobe were enough to hold him in check and will most times they play.
artest: career- fg% .422 3p% 342 Reb 5.1 Ast 3.2 Blk.6 Pts 16.1
last year fg% .401 3p% 399 Reb 5.2 Ast 3.3 Blk.3 Pts 17.1
It appears that last year he was above his career avg in 4 of 6 catagories. Hmmmmmm....
Shaq is done. Rejuvinated? He played well in Phoenix but still did not play back to backs. He didnt even play in the playoffs so there is no telling how he would have done when the compe ion stiffens. How's that ring he promised to win for Nash looking?
Do they play when it counts?
Lakers are the champs. Lakers improved. Cavs didnt even win their conference. Cavs improved. If i was a Cav player or fan I would be more worried about the Celts and Magic before I start thinking Lakers. I guarantee you the Lakers are thinking Spurs, Nuggs etc .
But thanks for thinking about Lakers... The fear consumes you!
Yeh he said Anthony Parker not Morris Peterson.
Also Parker and Moon didn't get 81 points dropped on them because they weren't on that roster.
