[::2009 Champion LAKERS OFF-SEASON THREAD Vol. Boring Non-News Days Causing In-Thread Tension::]

I've seen haslem play a considerable amount of basketball. He has no place on the lakers squad. Dude has almost no offensive game
 
LO needs to stop messing around and sign with the Lakers already. It's a privilege to play for the Lakers. He's not getting short changed consideringhis age and his inconsistency throughout his laker career(though he finally stepped in up in these playoffs).

I agree simply because Odom brings a scoring option to the second unit, as well as a valuable piece to the 1st. He doesnt start, but he will finish the game.His intangibles are priceless... Haslem brings it every night, and can rebound/putback, plays some Defense.....only issue is i believe Josh Powell can fillthat role already, and has a better jumper than Haslem already. He just needs to improve his D, otherwise IMO they're the same.

Bottom Line...Hope Odom comes back
 
Haslem????

the magic look promising.

Hell NO!

Everytime the play against each other.. Kobe always goes hard on him.. he even tries to toy with him a little bit.. i always noticed Kobe bringing out some fancy dribbles or whatnot to make VC look like a fool..

??

kobe vs nets in 2008 in 2 games...he averaged 13 pts 3 rebs 6ast shooting 27% from the field (5-18) 35mpg
kobe vs nets in 2007 in 2 games...he averaged 18pts 4rebs 7ast while shooting 29% from the field (5-17) 40mpg
kobe vs nets in 2006 in 2 games...he averaged 20pts 6rebs 10ast 4.5TO'swhile shooting 32% from the field (6-18) 41mpg
kobe vs nets in 2005 in 2 games...he averaged 35pts 2rebs 7ast 6TO's while shooting 38% from the field (11-30) 47mpg

kobe is the better play we know that...but when they go up against each other kobe seems to always have a hard time..
Ummm.. so VC was the reason for all of that?

Did you watched all that games?

I'm just asking cause i cant remember most of that games
laugh.gif
..im only referring to the ones i watched..

I know for the fact that Kobe always seemed to force plays (add the fancy stuffs that i mentioned earlier) when goin up against VC ..and that causes him a LOT of turnovers..
he was the one guarding kobe..and no..i didnt watch all those games, i watched the previous two season, and thought to myself. "man kobealways plays bad against the nets"...then i looked at the other seasons when carter was in town, and kobe still does bad
 
laugh.gif
at VC being considered to be a Kobe Stopper

yes, Kobe has had some un-Kobe-like games against the Nets recently and yes VC deserves SOME credit

Can you guys actually imagine VC stopping Kobe on a large stage like the NBA Finals?

it won't happen

Orlando has made the best offseason moves this summer. Props to them

But if we play them again, I just can't see us losing to that team in a 7-game series (assuming we have LO)
 
i think its a tossup between orlando and toronto for offseason moves.

toronto added turkoglu, jarret jack, derozan, belinelli, antoine wright

and btw

what happened with odom signing within 24-48 hrs? LOL

What?

Not wanted?

The guy when he was a free agent back in 2003 was sure wanted by Pat Riley & the Heat when he got a fat contract from them.
 
So, is Lamar going to make an announcement later on today? It's Thursday already, hopefully he makes a decision now so we can focus on the season and nothave this drag on for another week or two or who knows when.
 
I know some of you guys are getting impatient but the season is still a few months away...hell, training camp doesnt even start for another month and a half orso....I know it's frustrating, but this is a business - i think we all gotta remember that.

Just stay positive y'all and hope for the best. Let things run it's course and see what happens.
 
the season don't start for awhile, i'm sure LO is just enjoying this moment and then he'll sign.

We already have Haslem in the form of Josh Powell, they have the same braids, shoot the same way, etc. Why be redundant and have twins on the team? LO needs tostop being an %!@ clown and just sign.

[h1]Rivals Seem To Appreciate Odom's Value More Than The Lakers[/h1]If Lamar Odom does not re-sign with the Lakers, the clear consensus is that the balance of power will shift in the Western Conference.
"If he goes somewhere else, they're vulnerable," a Western Conference general manager said Wednesday. "With him, they're the favorites."

Said one West advance scout: "I definitely would think it's unanimous in the league that if Lamar goes somewhere else, well at the very least in the West, that it gives you a glimmer of hope that even if Kobe plays great you're right there with them."

There is a statistic that provides a true indication of Odom's value: individual plus-minus. Odom finished the 2008-09 season with a team-best +693 plus-minus - better than both Bryant (+659) and Gasol (+572). Moreover, the only NBA player with a higher plus-minus than Odom's was Cleveland's LeBron James(notes) (+871).

"It's about being able to pass, dribble and shoot," a longtime NBA assistant coach said. "[Odom] can pass, dribble and shoot. You take all three of those things away from a team and it hurts you. You're taking away a guy that can do all that."

Its Stein and Rich B talking about all the basketball moves. They start talking about Odom and say that he wants to sign in LA but Buss is being a ***. Thefunny thing is that both those guys are now saying that getting Artest was a bad move. Saying that he needs to lose weight and doesn't have the quicknesshe used to. I don't get these guys cause they both were loving the move when i first happened now they are dogging it. The stuff they say about Odom isboth good and bad cause they say he wants to play in LA but he wants the 4year 36million deal again!! He basically held out cause he thought he could get morefrom LA and NEVER wanted to leave. They also said Odom knows his diet will catch up to him and that's why he wants so much money. Cause he thinks in 3years no one will pay him. Dude is cashing in and as soon as he gets this money he's gonna not try at all.. JUST WATCH..
 
lol at not try at all...i guarantee you he will be putting up the same production hes been doing all his career..get out of here with that, what happened whenodom got his "fat contract" from miami? he had his best season of his career averaging 17 10 and 4
 
It's the Bill Simmons report.

It was pretty good, though it made me worry about the Artest signing
