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

1) Kobe restructure his contract so...
2) We can resign LO and Trev
3) Make sure Sasha gets lost somewhere over the summer and we are able to void his contract
4) Resign Shannon
5) Draft Earl Clark
 
If Lamar and Trevor really want to stay and win another championship LO will most likely have to be the one sacrificing some money so the Lakers could pay whatwould be close to the max that Trevor would be demanding. Trevor has been an instrumental part in the offense, his three point shooting has kept us alive ingames we should have lost. Hope we can keep both as well as Shannon Brown.

You know me, I'm the Vice-President of the Sasha hateclub. I still can't believe this bum didn't score A SINGLE POINT in the Finals, the Lakers could have paid me 5 mil to do that

reason why I said that is b/c I don't think Kobe will let them..

But I think you could free Sasha up trade him and 1st round & 2nd round for 5-10 picks up... Resign Brown & Powell along with Odom, Ariza and try to get a big man in the draft.

I like that idea of a 1st round/2nd round pick. Aside from my blatant hate for Sasha, I think he and Farmar could go together as a solid package to trade for a solid 2 guard to come off the bench for Kobe. Who? I'm not quite sure yet.



I think a Farmar, Brown backup at the point is good and Ariza can play backup 2 at times and we can get Shannon out there at the 2, maybe even Walton.. Kobeonly needs like 10-12 minutes of sub a game. So we don't really need a huge improvement.

I could have shot the ball with my foreskin and hit a shot.
 
^ but u all know lakers need some one off the bench to be the first to get to kobe and give him huge hugs and put his head next to his. i know yall see itEVERY game sasha is forever hangin from kobe during time outs.
 
The way it looks the Lakers really only need about 15-20 ppg from Fisher and the entire bench


Bryant- 25
Odom- 15
Ariza- 12
Bynum- 14
Gasol- + 17
____
83

Fisher- 8-10
Walton/Farmer/Sasha/Shannon/Powell/Morrison/Yue only need to score 15 points


Fine where we are.. I was going in thinking we needed a PF/C but we don't really need it that bad because out of the 96 minutes,
Gasol and Bynum eat up 65.. Odom can play 15, so we need a guy to fill in 15 minutes..

Lakers are fine where they are at.
 
So, in a proper way to say goodbye to the 2008-2009 season, I'm writing this on June 14th, but I won't be able to post this until tomorrow because Ihit my post-limit, as expected.

First off, I want to congratulate all the Lakers players, minus Sasha Vujasuck, DJ Mbenga, Adam Crybaby Morrison, and Sun Yue. . Yes, I happily congratulateKobe, Pau, LO, Fisher, Luke Walton, Ariza, the rest of them dudes.

Second, I sincerely and genuinely thought that the Magic had this series in the bag, but they don't have the mental toughness to win it all. I thought thatShard, Hedo, and Dwight especially was ready to take it all this year. I was wrong. The Lakers outclassed them the entire series, and when it came down tocritical moments, it wasn't just Kobe, it was Lamar, it was Pau Gasol, it was Derek Flopping Fisher, it was Trev Ariza, these guys straight pulled it out.

Before I continue on about the Lakers, props to the Magic players who showed up. (Yeah, this is going to be a LONG post, I know most of you won't readthis, but I know a few of you will, and it's directed to those Lakers fans who know what's up, the Lakers fans who I'm cool with). First off, Iwant to say screw all you haters of JJ Redick, I've liked this kid since he entered the NBA (I didn't follow College ball back then). This kid hasconsistently broken any expectations that are set so low, he's gotten better, he's a damn good passer, and I'm happy to see him excel on this team.Not only that, he played some GREAT DEFENSE IN THESE PLAYOFFS. Yeah I said it, you know it's true too when he locked up Ray Allen. Next, Courtney Lee, thedude is a damn rookie. I don't care what anyone has to say, that guy is going to be a stud in the League with his toughness. That lay-up he missed at theend of game three was damn near impossible to make, and he played great the whole Playoffs, prop to him. Next, the Bay Area's own, Mikael Pietrus. Thisdude made some of the best highlights in the entire Finals, he had to face the toughest match-ups of ANYONE in the Playoffs this year (How you like PP, thenLeBron, then Kobe? ). I also want to note about Jameer Nelson and Rafer Alston. I'm sorry, but Rafer, you gotta go. You aren't better than JameerNelson, you did a great job helping them get into the Playoffs, but dude was just ineffective in the Playoffs. Then you go slapping Eddie House up the head?Nah actually that was pretty funny, . But if the Magic want any kind of cohesiveness next year, Rafer has to go, because Jameer IS the better guard, but theyjust brought him back a bit too early. Gortat, Polish Hammer, go ahead and get paid. . If the Magic care to keep you, more power to them, but go some wherethat you'll start at, Dallas maybe? . Before I mention Hedo.. Shard it's too bad you fell asleep in all the losses in the Finals, because now peoplewill forget how damn great you played in these Playoffs. I hope he continues to keep his head up, and keep truckin', because he's not going to sharethe backcourt /w Hedo anymore... Yeah, Hedo Turkoglu is gone IMO. Unless the Magic are willing to put down some major Rashard Lewis-esque $$$, Hedo is as goodas gone. Great year from him, and he'll get paid wherever he goes. He deserves to. Dude can put the ball on the floor, dude can pass the ball, he canshoot, and he's clutch. I honestly want him to go to a different team, because this isn't the right environment for him IMO. Dwight, get your head onstraight, work the entire summer on the offensive end, because you got a lot of work ahead of you. Before I get onto the Lakers, Fat Man Gundy is a realhumble, nice guy, but you got to go. He's not a good coach, he's the white version of Mike Brown, I'm tired of this dude, sit down in favor of abetter coach.

Now onto the World Champion Lakers... . First things first, I've been pulling the Lakers fans legs all Finals talking how much I hate them and want theMagic to win. Secondly, DAMN that hat Phil Jackson wore was , dude is definitely the best coach ever IMO. I DID want the Magic to win, and I was rooting forthem, but I'm happy for the Lakers. They had a fantastic year, a very solid NBA Playoffs, and played like a TEAM this whole Playoffs, they deserved it. So,I wonder how Sasha Vujasuck feels that he didn't score a single point in the Finals, good job scrub. . Lamar Candyman Odamn!! This dude pulled off two ofthe best layups in game 5 that I've ever seen in my LIFE. . He really put up some courageous efforts the entire Playoffs, he showed that he isn't assoft as his other Lakers front-line teammates. I'm happy for Odom. I also hope the Lakers pay him very generously this year, he deserves every bit of it.He shut up when he was moved to the bench in favor of Bynum (who I'll get to later ). He did it for them when they needed him, he made big plays, he madeMONEY plays that get you that $. Hopefully him and Ariza won't fold now that they're both going to get paid. Ariza, you are the $%%@%%@ man.. . Dudemade key play after key play after key play AFTER KEY DAMN PLAY for the Lakers in game four. Dude shot nearly 50% from deep, made some great plays, and hasearned him a lot of money this off-season, whether it's with LA or not. It's really funny that Orlando traded him for Cook and let the big piece ofthat deal go in Mo Evans. Shannon Brown, good job given the minutes you had, shooting well from deep, playing hard, earning your contract, earning your ring .Fisher way to keep up with the young guns this year, even though your flopping irritates me to no end. You have now gave HUNDREDS of NikeTalk users a new .gifto use of your smile. . Luke, even you made some plays that made me raise my eyebrows these Playoffs. Bynum, you got a lot of damn work to do son. Work on yourpost moves, your hands are getting better, but you showed that the Lakers have a lot of work to do with you. It's really a shame you got such a fatcontract so early. You better live up to it. So before Kobe, there's that big Spaniard Pau Gasol, I have a love/hate relationship with this dude. Iabsolutely LOVED him when he was with the Grizz, but then he was GIVEN to the Lakers for a bag of cookies, . But he has worked hard and done what the Lakershave asked of him, being the second option behind Kobe, and has excelled at doing so. He's probably the second-player on the Lakers I'm happy to seeget his ring this year. Pau took no crap from no one, made some HUGE plays, played the boards well, and even made some defensive stops. Congratulations to PauGasol. Kobe, what is there to say. You played amazing during the Playoffs, averaging 30, 5 and 5, they threw everything at him except the kitchen sink and hestill got it done. Four championships, you no longer have the stigma that you need Shaq, good luck getting your fifth ring.

So another year, another NBA season. Great year, break-out players, huge games, some great teams, and the Lakers back on top once again. It's going to be afun off-season with the draft in a few weeks, and then free-agency market. I know there's not much hype about this draft class, but I like all theprospects, guys like Rubio, Jennings, Flynn, Hill, Harden, Curry, hell even Psycho T! . It's been a pleasure this year, and as a fellow fan of the NBAmoreso than an individual team nowadays (I see you SHUGHES! see you in October my dude, ), cheers to a good 2008-2009 season, and lets have an awesome2009-2010 season!

Once again, goodjob Lakers.

Keeping Ariza & Odom is a must if we want to win more.
I'm worried Ariza is going to go somewhere else and we're gonna miss him like the Celts missed Posey.
Sasha needs to get the hell out of here, everyone can agree on that. We should find another point IMO and a big that will give 15-20 mins of play time.
 
oh damn that's that boutique down the street from staples right?
That's messed up these dudes are idiots

I remember they had some nice (but way overpriced) stuff in there


Can't believe thy raided it though
