Good night.
EDIT:
Oh snap. I forgot Odom can handle the rock as well... Damn that lineup is a problem for real.
Yeah this would be a crazy lineup but I cant remember one single game this season ( I watched everyone) where Odom, Gasol, and Bynum were on the floor at thesame time. Phil just wont do it
As for Artest coming to the Lakers....WOW its over for the NBA! I really did think Ariza is a great player and when I first heard the Lakers werent resigninghim I was HEATED!!! But then hearing we got Artest I got over it lol!!
LAKERS REPEATING!

The celtics and the Cavs can beat the fake show in the finals.

its so crazy you win the chip, and manage to make your team so much more stronger. It was a great sign for the lakers, and their toughness just got toughertoday.

Yup everyone knows that his agent steered him the wrong way. You gotta pick your agent wisely

Cornerstone of the dynasty?Please find where any lakerfan said that.
Pau is a cornerstone. Kobe the same...Ariza? Ariza would have been our Cooper, Thompson, Scott ECT. Important players to the dynasty but don't get ittwisted you don't win without Magic, Worthy and Jabbar.
The fans loved him. But he let his agent fool him.
All in all he got paid what he deserved imo, but for some reason he wanted us to give him 7 to 8 a season. I don't get that at all.
Trevor is a good player but I want to see how he will do when a team ACTUALLY runs plays for him. I do wish him well I just don't understand his logic onebit right now.

the Shaq trade was pointless
what the hell are you stonefacing... an old, deteriorating Shaq actually makes them better, and able to keep up with the C's and Magic??PLEASE..... clown....
and yes, lets see how ariza does when no one is there (kobe) to spoon feed him baskets, and he has to create for himself

I just found out about this trade and deal and I'm still in shock...
I mean Ariza to me was a good 3pt shooter and somewhat of a good defender, I know Artest is a hella good defender, but all in all both Ariza and Artest gottheir moneys worth.
Much luck to Ariza in Houston (you will be missed
) and now the newsoldier to join the LA purple & gold team.
And I was just going to get Ariza's jersey for next year...scrath that one..
I just hope Artest don't make the Lakers look like the cowboys having T.O with drama here and there....

We got an 18 & 8 Shaq who is in even better shape now for 1 year guaranteed for Ben Wallace & Sasha Pavlovic. HOW THE %*%% IS THAT"POINTLESS"?!...

Last time I checked, Kobe just turned 30. I think the Lakers sense of urgency to win now is just as high as anyone else in the league...includingCleveland.Originally Posted by cartune
not saying that but in the long run ariza I feel would pay off. 'test is winding down and he comes with some locker room questions too. Kobe just wants to win as many chanmpionships as he can as quick as he can which is always the goal. But why mess with what already works especially when you have a young player that already proves he can somewhat get it done.Originally Posted by epox12
At the expense of getting a better player. Do you honestly believe Ariza is better than Artest?Originally Posted by cartune
Lakers wouldnt have beat the Nuggets without Trevor thats freakin Valuable. lakers should have rewarded their valuable role player and went a different direction in my opinion

I never said we were gonna beat the C's or even win the East. You claimed the move was "pointless", thus making you one of, if not the mostuneducated dudes I've seen in S&T in a while...
