i definitely think we are the best team in the east with KG and Powe back... these are the same guys who started out 27-2 setting records left andright.
just gotta rest the starters more during the regular season.

I agree, your squad was by far the only worthy opponent the East had, however injuries are part of the game and prevented them from repeating.

Celtics are the only ones that match up well with the Lakers as it stands...
hopefully they keep all their main pieces intact.

Mark my words, Celtics wouldn't have done $#*# last yr if the buddy GMs hadn't been playing around and swapping KG for skittles. Ainge was on his wayout til a recently fired former Celtic blessed him with a one sided trade.
Mark my words, Celtics would have lost the Lakers this year if they were healthy and also last year if Lakers were healthy.
Lucky team won majority of their titles before most people on this board was born. 1 ship in 20 years is a terrible average

1. Al Jefferson isn't exactly Skittles.
2. The Lakers weren't beating the Celtics in '08 even with Bynum. You're delusional.
3. It's been over a month now. Try to lose some of that saltiness.

^^^ LMAO
1. Exactly, why would you give up a budding all-star in Jefferson ten years younger? And BAssie and the rest of that throw in was BS on a platter
2. I believe they would have with a healthy Bynum and Ariza. Although Ariza wasn't as good a shooter as he was this year, he would have been a betteroption defensively against PP and Shuttlesworth.
3. No I won't. I'm salty til we beat that %%+ a couple of times on nat'l tv this season.

1. I'm saying Jefferson wasn't skittles and that it was a silly +%! trade on C's part to trade away for their future. It worked out for them. Ididn't say it was unfair, I'm saying it was a friend hooking up another friend.
2. You're right...we will never know so all we got is our opinions.
3. Please don't forget this discussion come October. Maybe we can paypal some bets.

No needs to talk about what could have been.
When we ran into the Celtic's they beat us.
This year we didn't run into them and we won the Chip.
Next year hopefully both teams are healthy and we can get a rematch.
(just got through watching the 85' Lakers/Celtics DVD set and am amped up for a rematch)!
Kinda wondering why you guys would trade Rhondo but if you could get those players for him and Allen you have to make the move.

Re: the Ray Allen trade rumors-
how would he have any significant trade value? aging star, contract about to expire, on a contending team......makes much more sense to keep him, his short-runvalue is very high for the c's and not for many other teams. that and he's probably my favorite player on the team

As a fellow Bulls fan, you clearly have no clue what you are talking about. The Boston Celtics play defense, something no other team in the leagueseems to do anymore. The Lakers would not have beaten the Celtics in 08 if Jesus Christ would have suited up in purple and gold. Bynum was supposedly thequestion mark, that was answered this finals with a healthy Bynum playing llike the bust he will eventually be. Calling Boston a lucky team, you come off as asalty Bulls fan my dude.Originally Posted by AntBanks81

If Ainge sends Ray Allen out to pasture and die, I'm going to book a flight ASAP to punch Ainge in the face. I gotta imagine PP and KG are sitting at homelike "!!* are you doing Ainge?"

If Rondo isn't wearing kelly green next year, i'm going to be VERY pissed off...
I would much rather trade Jesus, no matter how ice cold he is.

What is the deal with trading Rondo? I can't understand that for the life of me. I really saw some battles brewing between him, Rose and Devin Harris inthe new season. Ainge will prove he doesn't know what he's doing if he pulls the trigger. As I said before, he was one miraculous trade away from beingback in the broadcasting booth.
FirstBorn, the Lakers were not at 100%. You can call Bynum a bust, but he would have been another big to give the Lakers more than what they had. Yes, theC's defense last year was awesome. The bottom line is the C's won, but I still believe what I believe.

I will be furious if they try to trade Rondo. I can't think of more than 25 players, tops, who I'd rather have on my team, and that list get shorterwhen I think long-term.

I don't get why they would trade Allen, they would have a max contract to give out to someone from the huge free agent class of 2010
I don't think they are trading Rondo, I'd be very surprised
