I had really high hopes for Ebanks I thought he would be Ariza 2.0 but hopefully he gets some shine next year.

I think it was the Lakers saying they wanted no parts of a guy who couldnt get respect from a group of vets.
I would argue that Rip, Tayshawn, and Wallace have never been great lockerroom guys who have ran out at this point 5 coaches.
And thats the precise reason that you cannot trade any of those guys.....

the hispanic community doesnt like oscar. the boy is hated in his own hometown for being a so called sell out. its the hollywood types that loved him. 


  

Give me a break....

Noble is spot on, De La Hoya received a statue due to his relationship with AEG & Golden Boy Promotions, not his status in the community. Here is a long, in-depth article giving some insight why he isn't beloved in his own hometown.

ehhh 3inches is 3 inches though. then again these little dudes likejj barea and aaron brooks be doing it so anything is possible.

i think the most thing im excited about mike brown being coach is i think ebanks will have a better chance to break out.

  

Have you seen them on defense ?

A 6'0 and under point guard will be a liability. I like big guards but it's so hard to find a big guard that is good on both end

Also i agree with Ebank getting more minutes and finally Lakers will run something other than a triangle offense. A fast break Lakers team

I can only dream

I'm sorry but Ebanks and Character are trash. Character is short and fat for a PF. He gets blocked 90% of the time. Ebanks is skinny but not as explosive as Ariza and does not seem to have any type of skills.

That sucks we didn't get Michael Malone on the staff. Don't know why he wants to coach that crappy Warriors personel - perhaps a promise of HC if/when Mark Jackson gets fired?

Even though the terms of the agreement weren't discussed, it was based on more money to go with the Warriors.

So while arguing about sports this morning I thought of something interesting. We need youth as everyone knows, is it totally out of the spectrum to pick up an IGGY or Rudy Gay?
