I mean DET just had to pay $11MM a year for Ben Gordon and LA gets gifted Artest??



**** Big markets....


And **** fans that don't even live in those big markets.


Pau was giftwrapped, sure.

Ron just took less money.
That idiot said he would play in LA for free

Ron is that dude for taking less money to play with his friends Kobe and LO and going after a 'ship

It does. If you are over the cap, and pay another player the MLE...it will go dollar by dollar etc. But teams have the privilege of doing that. And since Lakers have the bird rights of LO, that is why they are able to sign both. Not paying Ariza makes this a lot easier too for the Lakers.

oh ok, thanks... hmmm.. i was misinformed, good looks on clearing that up.. but yea man, please sign lo too...

Man, next season is going to be crazy. With all these teams loading up, each team feels like they need to make a move to keep up.

Right now,

1. Lakers
2. Tie b/w Orlando, Cleveland
3. Boston
4. Denver, SA (healthy)

If Cleveland can land one more player, I'll put them ahead of Orlando.

Not sure if you picked up on it or not, but he was being sarcastic.

It was one of many claims made about Kobe.

Sasha- GIFT RECEIPT

Bynum was never on the level that Ginobili was. I know where you're going with the Bynum thing, he was awesome this year before getting hurt. But, my thingis that dude put up great numbers for HALF OF A SEASON. Ginobili has already established himself as a good player in the POST-SEASON. Bynum hasn't shownthat to me yet. Some people can handle the big stage and bright lights. Case and point, check out Chauncey Billups and his efficiency in the regular seasoncompared to the postseason.

Artest is an upgrade over Ariza, I will never doubt that. But what I'm saying is, you're replacing Ariza, with a better player. Yes, he's a bitolder, but Artest will be good for a while. Thing is, other teams are getting better without losing any major pieces. You improved and made an improvement, aMAJOR improvement? Call me a homer, call me biased, but I don't see it as something major. I'm not saying YOU are in particular, but my post wasn'tdirectly related to you.

The Cavaliers were also on a cake-walk to the Finals before the Magic came and Bron couldn't find any help. Ariza may not go to the Cavs, but unless hewants to get paid, I don't see any other destinations for him. But they got Shaq for Ben Wallace, which is a much more significant upgrade than Artest toAriza is, because Ariza made a bunch of HUGE defensive plays and big shots in the Playoffs. I'm not saying that Artest can't do that, but Ariza madesome damn clutch plays this year, some that altered the momentum of the entire series.

The Spurs will be healthy next year. They have young players they're involving in their grand scheme. Bowen is still relevant, he may not be what he oncewas, but he's still a good player. Manu will be back healthy next year. TP will be strong. Timmy will be strong. Richard Jefferson is going to be hungryagain.
