not on my watch
well, i think they are gonna get it.
not on my watch
personally, I think the trade was somehow facilitated and pushed by stern. i think it's all bull . why does memphis make that trade? they could have gotten much more than what they got.
As I can see, now Lakers have bigger chance to play the Finals than the C's...
How the do you fiqure that? celtics only have to wonder about the pistons. lakers still have to beat some very good teams.
why
lets see if they gel
if the lakers get through to the finals
TAINTED
LMAO, don't start crying conspiracy, the Spurs draw terrible ratings and have BEEN the dominant franchise in the NBA the past 10 years, that should orive the NBA isn't fixing ANYTHING
Lakers pulled off an incredible trade and that's that
now it's up to the Spurs to counter
i hope karma comes around again
like in 03/04 lakers buyin there way through to the finals only to be xpose as the fake showtime fakers
FFS you people sound like a bunch of Suns fans.Thankfully the Spurs won't be rolling over and mouthing conspiracy theories like this board. Try to get your heads back on by May.
This trade definitely propelled the Lakers to their threepeat-era dominance of the Spurs.
only ron paul can stop themwell, i think they are gonna get it.
Ron Paul is from Texas. He better look after his own!
shaq in prime > gasol + bynum
shaq gave the mental edge to the lakers. the spurs were ting in their pants every time they played the lakers back in that era and that basically destroyed their confidence. shaq was a scary beast and that gave them the edge. Gasol, on the other hand, is scary, but only when his beard is full grown.
for anyone who is saying that there is no conspiracy:
this is a business first and foremost and honesty comes after profit.

what?
If the Spurs get Mike Miller, I think we are the clear favorites again.
Without him, I think we're even or slightly better than LA.
Think about it:
Duncan + Fabs > Bynum + Gasol in the playoffs. Remember how awesome Fabs was last year? He'll be that again. And no one can guard Duncan.
Then you have Bowen + Parker + Ginobili vs Fish + Kobe + Odom. Tough but I'd call it even, since Bowen can get in Kobe's head a bit. Odom will probably be guarded by Udoka, who should be able to handle him pretty well. The Lakers still have NO ONE to guard Parker.
Fisher is Spurs killer.
how would the spurs get mike miller? I'm not complaining, but are they trying to pick him up or something? I can't see a trade scenario where memphis would agree to a package not including one of our big 3, unless, of course, Jerry west is high on crack like he was when he was negotiating thelaker deal
For all of us fans who watched the NBA in the 80's, I think it would be great theater, and would reignite the league which has been on a down swing the last few Finals. I grew up watch this rivalry and was mesmerized by it each time. This is not Magic vs Bird, but I promise you, the tv ratings would be a 100% increase over the last 5 Finals....so who can blame the NBA for wanting this Finals.
Well we sure had to give them a lot to get Stoudamire.
Seriously though, if they are having a firesale, Miller would be huge for us. He'd instantly be our best 3 point threat and we'd have TWO killers from downtown when Barry comes back. That means our offense would always have options if they double Duncan. Combine that with Manu's effective play when the D can't focus on him, and the offense suddenly becomes very scary.
Offer them Vaughn + Elson + picks? Anything. Anything to get Miller that's not going to directly affect our current rotation.
According to real GM, Horry + Vaughn + Elson works. I don't know how draft picks would figure into the situation if we didn't want to give up Horry.

Please make this happen!
well, i'd normally say that the combination of vaughn, elson, and picks isn't enough for miller, considering vaughn and elson are both players, but it seems Jerry West has a fetish for so who knows...
