Well if you think about it, the Celtics weren't even suppose to be in the Finals... so why not celebrate?
Crittenton > Brown or Farmar
The Lakers had a high expectations for Crittenton, and when he got to play, he showed flashes of it.
this
i think it was more like Critt had more value(or to sweeten that package deal for Gasol

He has his issues with the gun charges, bipolar disorder and rumored relatinship with LeBron's mom but I think Phil and Kobe could control him. And let's be real, the trio of West, Odom and Artest for an entire season would be too good to pass up.
Besides this past playoffs, he was Cleveland's second best playoff performer (I realize that might not be saying muchOriginally Posted by CP1708

Pass on West. We're stretching our limits if we start tipping the balance of crazies and solid vets.
Besides that, I have never been enamored with West's game. And he was never enough to help Bron, the hell with riskin him ghosting again for us.
I don't think he can create his own shot well, and I don't think he's that good of a shooter to spot up or anything. I honestly wouldn't take him over Sasha. Dead serious. Now if he's cheap, and we were making a deal, say getting rid of Walton's deal or something, that's one thing, but just to sign him and have him as a rotation 7-8-9 type guy, I'd pass. 11-12 type guy for a mill a season, eh, ok. But that's it.

Maybe I'm bias because I liked his game in college and wanted him in 2004.

Crittenton over Farmar? LOL Son left the Lakeshow for a reason. He's a taller Smush Parker in my eyes.
As far as off season movement goes, I think Powell, Mbenga, Walton should be shown the exit. Vujacic proved that he can step up so he's cool. Unless Bynum can't play anymore, he's staying.
at the people talking about Steve Blake/ Watson over Fisher. You've got to be kidding me. That's disrespectful to the 10th degree.
The only ex Laker I want to acquire is Turiaf. To this day I don't know why they got rid of him. Son was electric. Getting Ariza and Turiaf back would be all I need.
That Ron Artest song was flames.
The two "championship" vids posted above sums it up. Lakers aren't satisfied until we get Cookies
LET'S GO LAAAKKKKERRRSSS!!!!!!!
Yeah I would have Delonte be the first guard off the bench. Phil could make him the main backup to Fish. He could also play SG in spots if Kobe was in foul trouble.Originally Posted by CP1708

This year he didn't do really anything, but last season he did put up some decent games. (going thru his game logs....postseason wise)
Really the only benefit that I would like would be if he came over and started to win, we would have a field day with Bron stans. I'm always in the mood for that.
What do you have in mind for him? 3rd guard/first off the bench combo taking over for Fish and spelling Bryant in stretches?
This would be our 3rd crazy, as well as our 3rd leftie, making us one hell of a unique team. Lefties cross people up a lil bit, add to that Bynum and Gasol's length, and of course Kobe, we'd be one tough team in terms of matching up.
I just truly truly question his head. Could he learn the triangle? Would he even try? Does he care? I would want answers to that before I would be ok with him signing. And I truly would rather have another guard off the bench before him. Him as our 3rd guard would scare me to death.

A back court rotation of Kobe, Fish, West and Sasha (contract year) would be fine. Sign (or draft?) another guard to round out the back court. I kind of like bringing back Jannero Pargo. As third string emergency PG he would be perfect. He was with the Lakers back in 04 so he has some experience running in the triangle. If I remember correctly, Phil said he liked Pargo a lot and didn't want to cut him but had to.
i agree with both points
