Umm, I doubt the Clippers are in the lottery the next few years. They now have a pretty good young nucleus. Gordon, Griffin, Warren, Amini, Bledsoe. And still some established players like Davis, and Kaman. Not to mention, they could possibly end up with a really good free agent, maybe even Lebron. I dont know much about Bledsoe but I doubt the Clippers will be in the lottery again. Of course they will probably find their way there because they are the Clippers, but theres reason to believe they wont be.

1)Artest got a ring 2) He was an important piece of a championship team (20 points in game 7) 3) Hes a huge star in LA, and been on a lot of talk shows and made a lot of appearances at hot spots in LA. Stop hatin.

He will probably follow him, hes a LBJ jocker.

Good draft!

No actually we did not sell him we are keepin him! Sorry for reportin false news hun, I read it on another laker site. So we do have our Big Baby after all!

Actually im hearing we didnt sell caracter.

Actually never mind we sold him to Denver. Stupid cheap [expletive] stingy Lakers front office, always sellin their draft picks, tsk tsk.

Lol Lakers got their own Big Baby now.

WOOooOO DEVIN EBANKS! WE ARE CHAMPS BABY EBANKS = NEXT KOBE.

I got the need... The need 4 SHEED.

Forget about trading Odom. Hes our Bynum insurance. And he is Ron-Ron tamer.

He the biggest star in LA right now.

Lol too bad he already retired in 2007. http://www.thisis-matt.co.uk/images/Fail%20Pictures/Cheese%20fail.jpg

I dont want him gone ....? I just want another point guard so we can effectively reduce Fishers minutes during the regular season. I would still want Fish out there in the last few minutes of any crunch time game.

This is what I think - Farmar/Brown/Ammo/Powell leave. - Go after Steve Blake - Sign Tmac for vets min - Sign Bell for vets min Blake/Fisher/Sasha Kobe/Bell Artest/Tmac/Walton Gasol/Odom/ Bynum/Mbenga

I disagree all we need him to do is be a spot up shooter, hes a lock for 40 % from 3 and that would be huge for us. And it doesnt hurt to have another great defensive player. Hes tough, hungry for a ring, plays great D, shoots the ball well. If we can get him for the vets min, its an easy decision. We usually have Bynum in with the 2nd unit anyway, it would be nice to be able to throw it down low to him and not have a bonehead guard like Farmar or Brown chuck dumb shots, instead a guy like Bell can spread the floor and make 3's, while also keeping a good defensive unit in tact.

If Bynum stays healthy, Kobe fixes his fingers, we get a solid bench player or two in free agency for the vets min, Artest another year in the triangle. We could be unstoppable next year! Then again, I say that every year. I really dont think he would leave the chance of missing another 3 peat. Plus if we win it without him it wont look too good for his legacy, the argument will continue to be made that he wins cause of his great players. But I actually think he might step down cause hes just exhausted and wants to ride off into the sunset with all his rings, hes already 2 ahead of Red. I just think it would be better to retire on a 3 peat and dont leave any unfinished business. In any case, I think Shaw should take over if Phil leaves. I hope we stay in house and keep the same system that everyone knows and the system that this team was built for and is prfect for. Plus with Kobe and Fish I dont think you really need a strong presence at the head coach.

Phil will go 1 more year. He only wins championships in 3's. Once he gets his 4th 3peat he will be done.

I started a new team. Focused mainly on defense. Lakers : PG - Vujacic SG - Kobe SF - Artest PF - Odom C - Yao Bench : Anthony Parker, Flip Murray, Wes Matthews, Peja, Brad Miller, Haywood.

Lol @ Ron starting the Boston sucks chant and the victory cigar.

Lol thanks for the avy.

I would never go to those parades. Its so crowded, parking is a [expletive], you get to see the float for like 2 seconds. The only thing worth going to is the rally at the end, but they arent doing that this year.

They are totally setting up for a sequel or a brand new trilogy or something. Also I almost cried too when I heard that song again, ahh the memories.

Omg thats pretty cool. :glasses:
