<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">i am compelled to write a blog today to comment on the tragic passing of eddie griffin just really makes me wish that he could have gotten help and been ok god bless his soul in other news well, there was no way an ex celtic laker hater like kevin mchale was gonna let kevin garnett end up on the lakers those old moldy greens got together and put him on boston darn it! the laker/celtic rivalry ended in the eighties but as far as i'm concerned it's back in full effect bird, mchale, and ainge would have had to all agree to make that 3 way trade that put KG on the lakes and those guys hate the lakes i dont care what anyone says about who wants to rebuild, and who want cap room etc.... it is an evil celtic conspiracy against the lakers and it will all come out in the wash larry bird does not want market value for jermaine oneal the lakers offered him cookie, kwame, and the future great andrew bynum and he said no, it is more than a fair value, he just wants the lakers to suffer....... go lakers go lakers it has been said that i have terrible grammar because i dont use punctuation dont people know poetry when they see it philistines one and all! </div> Source: NBA.com I personally do not think it is back in full effect. It is entertaining to see a Laker- Celtic game at the very least. With Garnett in the Mix, it gets better because I want to see how the Staples crowd reacts. But, I truly think the Rivalry can be back in full force if we land Jermaine. Lakers vs Celtics Kobe, Lamar, Jermaine vs KG, Pierce, Allen

Yeah the Rivalry will relive only if Odom and O'neal and Kobe are on the same team but after that the Lakers don't appear to make it to the Finals with the team we got right now.

It gives the Pacers a really bright future and it gives us Jeramine without giving up Odom. I bet the Pacers would pull this trade to, its just Mitch's incompetance to make deals that is holding this deal of. <u>Lakers recieve:</u> Jeramine Oneal <u>Pacers Recieve:</u> Andrew Bynum Sasha Vujacic Brian Cook Kwame Brown Javaris Crittenton It checks out in the Trade Machine EDIT: Also, the New Jersey proposed deal does not work out. Trade Machine Although, this does...Trade Machine ^Lol, this trade accutually makes you worse.

It will also kill the Nets future if their deal goes down. That is why I don't want Jermaine. The Nets could have had Jermaine, but Thorn doesn't want to give up Williams and Krstic. I don't know about you guys, but I guess Mitch doesn't want to give up Bynum. But then again, Larry Bird said Jermaine is not going anywhere.
Unfortunately for the league the rivalry is not renewed. In fact, there aren't anymore true rivalries in the NBA because of the parity in the league and the amount of player movement we see every summer.
