Miami wins..... Prepare for Kobe hating central... A lot of "Kobe needs Shaq" "Kobe got what he deserved" "blah blah blah"
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mel JBB:</div><div class="quote_post">Yep, here come the Wade > Kobe threads too.</div> Oh yes, can't forget those.
I agree with Shape. NO ONE has ever brought up that without a Dominant gaurd Shaq has never done anything. In Orlando, he made it to the finals with Penny. In LA...well we all know how that goes, and now Miami... It's too bad no one will ever bring this up and question whether Shaq could do it "on his own"- the question that haunted MJ and now haunts Kobe.
Well one thing we know for the upcoming season after Miami won. Mitch Kupchak's ass is on the line more than ever.
It's weird, I'm not that mad about the Heat winning the title, because when I think of them winning, I don't think of Shaq being
I don't mind Shaq hoisting a title as much as I do 'Zo. That's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post">Well one thing we know for the upcoming season after Miami won. Mitch Kupchak's ass is on the line more than ever.</div> Amen to that. Lets see what mitch does this offseason. Cant wait for the draft!!!
I was listening to AM 570 and they had a poll that with Miami and Shaq winning the Title, will it motivate Laker Management to do some BIG changes in the off season. I personally think no, I think Laker management doesn't give a sh!t as long as they got Kobe selling out Staples Center. I really hope they prove me wrong and realize NOW is the time to make changes, not two or three years down the line.
I was listening to that show too, "Feeling you Vic!" The reality of it is this, the Lakers just don't have the cap flexibility to make any blockbuster moves this offseason unless they deal Odom. Even though we waived Brian Grant, his salary still counts against our cap space, and until he's off the books, the Lakers aren't in a position to go after any big name free agents. We have to make sure we use the MLE wisely this offseason. No more Vlade Divac, Aaron McKie mistakes, and also get a productive player in the draft. One rumor Mycal Thompson brought up was the Lakers sending Odom to Chicago. Odom for Gordon + #2 pick in the draft Thompson said he would take Adam Morrison at #2 if he was available. This deal would also give the Lakers a large Trade Exception around $10Million to make the salaries work. If the Lakers can arm themselves with $10TE they can package Mihm and the Trade exception and land a player making superstar money in the 14 to 15M range.
I love that show. I listen to AM 570 all the time. FEEEEEEEEELIN YOUUUUU VIC!!!!!!!! P.S. I would love that trade w/ Chicago. Lamar Odom is a pothead, let's get him outta here.
If we did that trade, I would get Tyrus Thomas. Then the starting 5 would be: PG Sam I Am (assuming he comes over) SG Ben Gordon SF KOBE PF TYRUS THOMAS C Kwame But, hey, we know there is no trades as Kupchak admitted there wouldn't be any for Mihm, Bynum, or Odom.
