All I want to know is how do any of you know what he has talked to Jackson or Buss about?? All I keep hearing is he should have went to them first................HE DID!

I don't mind trading Odom or Kwame no hands Brown but I would like to see more of the Youngster Bynum.

You're exaclty right. I have no idea what him and Buss/PJ have really discussed. All I know is that Buss made a statement saying he was unaware of any discontent.... but this may also be a lie.

Whatever the case, it is my opinion that his actions were based on emotion and selfishness. He's not acting like the leader of that team.

Cheers,

Jim

I feel that BOTH LO and Bynum is way too much for Jermaine ONeal.. The only player that I'd give both players up for is KG. And that's not enough. Mitch Cupcake better offer the 2 for Gasol first if they indeed want to move them.

i agree..know what, i rather trade LO and kwame because i think bynum have a better chance of improving compare to brown..yup KG sounds good man!!!!

fa get about it! I will still take that trade for JO. Rashard Lewis is a free agent, and if you whiff with him you have AK-47 unhappy in Utah. Thsy just got ran by SA, so you know they want some scorers, or potential, and LA has that. By the time regular season comes around... LA is going to look happier, and stronger.

Sorry Karl but the "king" finally showed up last night! What a performance! Now if Kobe did that he would just be a selfish player.

jimdogg, I agree he let his emotions get the best of him.

 

[Unarce]

That was pretty damn amazing. Reeling off Cleveland's last 29!!:eek2: It doesn't get much better than that.

This is my biggest concern about the Pistons. Larry Brown would have put an end to that in the 4th with a defensive adjustment that Big Ben would carry out. Those are the intangibles we're missing

 

[TeeLapia]

I know. Ouch! Esp with him dunking like he was "jesus"! He drove through the block with the D opening up like the red sea! I mean, c'mon can we please just hype him up just a little bit more because I don't think the general public hasn't hyped him up enough! Throw me a freak'n bone here! He can't duplicate that performance though.

Like Karl said that was "PRETTY DAMN AMAZING!!" I don't think I ever seen a perimeter player dominate a game like that and I've watched plenty of if not all of the Bull's playoff games during their string of championship runs. Not to mention he did it against a hell of a defensive team. Despite the fact until Lebron leads his team to 6+ rings Jordan will remain "The Best Ever".

TeeLapia, I do agree he probably won't repeat that perfomance but if anybody has any chance of doing it again it would be Lebron.

 

[Underwaterparadise]

I beg to differ! If he truely is "King James" we have many more years to see him do that. If you ask me though it was just as much Detroits lack of "in the paint presence" as much as it was Lebron being Lebron. Like Karl stated "Larry brown would have never let that happen. I seen it too many times with Flip in MN.

[Lebron Read your comments Maddness, and then made you look silly!!!!

 

[reedrodz]

Lebron made it happend....Detroit was out played...and they are gona be out palyed again in the next game..

Lakers starting 5 next year:

Farmar
Kobe
Artest
Odom
Jermaine O'Neal/Pao Gasol

Bring the trophies back to LALA Land.
AND Kings will be better w/ ex-Laker Kurt Rambis directing them!!!!!!!!!!

LOL . The kid was annoited "the greatest" before ever lacing up and stepping on an NBA court and finally 3 years later he shows us what we have been waiting to see. I am a Laker fan but BB just passes the time for me until Football comes back so I enjoy watching every player!

BTW,I bet Addleman's new team makes the playoffs next year hahaha had to jab the Kings fans a lil

Letting go of Adelman was all part of the rebuilding/relocation process. Rebuild the team once it is in Las Vegas

 

[Unarce]

There's still hope!

keep your fingers crossed

 

[TeeLapia]

It seems like the deal might fall through with Boston, Minnesota, and L.A.

 

[FishGuy5]

OH YEAH!!!!!!!
Latest has Lakers going directly w/ the T-wolves...sending LO, Bynum and Kwame. That's a ton to send. Who may play in the post, Chris Mihm?!?

 

[Unarce]

If that happen...the Lakers should make me their next GM

Best case scenario for the Lakers

Send Odom, Bynum, and Brown ($22,000,000 combined salary) to Minnesota for KG and Madsen ($23,000,000 combined salary).

The Wolves get a very good player in Odom, a work in progress with Brown, and a potential young star in Bynum. Kobe gets a superstar friend that 'WILL' defer to him in 4th quarter situations, and a monster workhorse in Madsen.

Karl:

Being a lifelong Laker Fan, it would be "heaven sent" if you were the Lakers' GM!! Mitch Kupcake is the most conservative GM in the league. His track record for making transactions is terrible too. Geoff Petrie he is not.
