    According to Spanish media
    The lakers have made an offer to Jorge Garbajosa
    I dont have the source because it was the printed edition
    But you can watch the front page on the right side of this web
    Spanish Marca

    Maybe he is the player who will replace Ronny
    He plays most of the time at PF, but actually can play the SF to defend non-athelic SFs like Turkoglu, Walton, etc.
    Excellent 3 point shooter, good defender, high basketball IQ
    In my opinnion is a little upgrade over Ronny Turiaf

    Thoughts?

    Pre-injury Garbo would've been an awesome addition to the team. Post-injury Garbo, I'm not so sure. And I'm not totally convinced he'll even consider staying in the NBA. He can go back to a top level Spanish team, make a lot more money, and continue being a well respected figure over there.

    The interesting thing of course, is that a Spanish newspaper interviewed Garbo before his injury and asked him where he saw himself after his contract. He listed the Lakers as a team he'd be interested in joining (for the history and prestige).

    if you think jorge is trash, you're way too wrong
    thats the kind of player you dont like because he is not a dunker, or great finisher like bryant
    but lebron's, carmelo's, carter's, etc are not champions
    but duncan's, oberto's, bowen's are
    the show is not everything
    just remember that spain are the world champions
    and argentina olympics

    I wanna bet. Argentina or Spain will win the olympics

    Argentina qualified for the tournamente with 2 starters
    You have to add Ginobili, Oberto, Nocioni, Sanchez, etc.
    Starting Lineup:
    PG: Prigioni - Sanchez
    SG: Ginobili - Delfino
    SF: Nocioni - Herrmann (if he goes)
    PF: Scola
    C: Oberto


    And Spain has a better team than Argentina
    PG: Calderon - Sergio Rodriguez
    SG: Navarro - Rudy Fernandez
    SF: Garbajosa - Mumbru
    PF: Gasol
    C: Reyes - Marc Gasol

    From the FIBA 2006 is almost the same team besides Kobe and Kidd

    I love USA, but in my oppinion the dont have the passion to win against that kind of teams. But let time show who is right and who is not
    nothing personal by the way

    No, just pick one team, not 2. Then it's a bet. If you lose, you will have to use the USA flag for your avatar for 6 months. If your team wins, then I will use their flag as my avatar for 6 months. Pick one of the two teams, and its on.

    I would love to have Garbajosa.
    Who knows, playing along side Pau Gasol, he may play better.



    Your on something if you think a team with LeBron AND Kobe AND Kidd is gonna lose. Not a single team has a player like Kobe, one who can control the game offensively and defensively whenever he pleases.

    I sense a loss on your part coming up, not gonna lie. I don't see how the USA loses this year. With Kobe, Wade, LeBron, Howard, Carmelo, Bosh, Paul, etc. all on this team, it's going to be hard for any team to beat us.
