^As much as I love my Spurs, I wouldn't go that far...You still have the Celtics, Orlando, and even the Lakers! You have to keep in mind that the spurs,along with the Celtics, are at a higher risk of running into injuries. Now, the Orlando Magic along with the Lakers have a fairly young core and they're onthe rise.

Had to post it three times to make sure Heat staff knew that? I kid, I kid.
I agree though. Kid has a bright future.
However, if im Raptor management, no way in hell its a straight up Bosh for Beasley. Give us moon back too
This offseason is quite interesting; alot more happening than I expected.

Yeah I just read about the Odom turning down 30&36M.
The only conclusion we can make of this is dude must be salty seeing a guy like BG and Turk get 50M+ and he's set on getting his own 50M deal.
Problem is, how?
I mean, economic woes, shrinking cap, teams gearing up for 2010, dude's been a 6th man and he's not getting any younger at 30.
Sign and trade for Andre Miller

hell no you aint getting moon back... dude was better then i thought... looked like him and wade clicked pretty good on the court... ive seen a lot of timeswhen wade was about to get double teamed and he would just toss it up to moon.... moons defense is bad either... he is not as quick as marion but his hopsmade up for it.. you can have blount/quinn/jones/ and your first round pick back for bosh

according to reports he turned down 10 million for 3 years and 9 milliong for 4 yearsOriginally Posted by franchise3
As for the whole LO thing, dude wanted 10M and a long term deal, but as the market shook out, the Lakers were offering 8-9M 3/4 years. Guess he tried to play the field to get some leverage, and Buss got fed up
I still think dude ends up back in LA though.

Agents work for the player though.
At the end of the day, LO has the final say. If he really wanted to sign, he woulda by now. As opposed to getting an offer straight taken off the table

I'm not even a Lakers fan but you're trippin buddy. If Lamar walks its a big loss for LA but you act as if Artest can't fill Odom's roll. Ithink people are forgetting just how good Ron Ron is. He's still top 3 in lock-down defenders and can drop atleast 20 any given night. Lamar is a big timeplayer for LA, but IMO Kobe, Gasol and Artest is still enough to beat the Spurs.

Otherwise the Lakeshow need to try and work something out with Dallas for Josh Howard or the Heat for Haslem & Beasley.
AHHHHHHHHH YOU STUPID ODUMB!!! Way to %!+@ up something special.
lakers are NOT getting J.Howard.
i wouldnt want him.... trade an inconsistent pot head for another inconsistent pot head?? please

This is how I look at it.
Ariza + Odom > Artest
I don't think it will hurt LAL THAT much, but they definitely won't be as strong as last year's team.

i still cant get over on how the grizz turned down J.Howard but accepted kwame brown.
You talking about Josh Howard? That's because they wanted an expiring deal to start building a younger team. I wouldn't have went thatway, but hey that's how our front office thinks.

I disagree, people are not giving Lamar much credit he is so much more versatile than Ron. Plus with his height he can play the 4 and become ahuge mis-match problem. I'm not dissing Artest but Lamar fits more with the Lakers than Artest doesOriginally Posted by JordanXI45

In the end, LO will come to his senses and come back. They aren't even all that far apart, I think as long as Odom's camp will at least talk to Buss,Buss won't mind giving a 4th year, but doubt he wants to give a 5th. They just need to sit in a room together and something will get done.
@ Josh Howard being untouchable. Overvalue a ton?

Orlando has got to be the favorite for the title next year barring another injury to a key piece, don't they...?
I LOVE that roster... The more I think about it, they gave up a ton for Vince, but he adds a diminsion they didn't have last year.. And that's a guythat can create for himself and attack the rim without a screen and roll... As much as I like Hedo, a lot of the work he put in came off Dwight Howardscreens...
That's a more natural, conventional lineup now and I think they'll be better for it...

I'm sorry, but VC + Barnes + Bass + healthy Jameer >>>>>>>>Hedo and Skip, and CLee.
OC bout to be gripping hard.
That would be funny seeing Pietrus and Barnes on the same team again especially after that little debate that happened a few pages back.
