It's been a real tough year. So hard with all the ups and downs. I can't wait until next season, but I think we all should show some apperciation to EVERY player that played with us this year, like them or not. It may be hard for you, but your just a fan, think about if you were actually on the team all year. All the emotions running, it's be tough.Kobe Bryant-Thanks for being a star player for us, hope you can get more help next year. Thanks for all the entertainment with your 50 point games, and who can forget your 65 performance.Lamar Odom-I really appreciate you man. Your a player who plays with heart. With your son dying, all the injuries, it's really tough for you, thanks for everything you've given us this year.Luke Walton-Thanks for all the good passing allowing Kobe to get easier shots.Smush Parker-Thanks for packing Jason Terry so we could seal up the win over Dallas.Kwame Brown-Thanks for the great game 3 performance.Andrew Bynum-Thanks for all the blocked shotsRonny Turiaf-Thanks for all the hustle and effort you give usSasha Vujacic-Thanks for the 3 pointer against Dallas, SASHA WATCH!Brian Cook-Thanks for all the 3 pointers you give usVladimir Radmonovic-Thanks for that 3 against San Antonio, even though we didn't end yp winning, but you did tie the game, although you missed the game winner....Maurice Evans-Thanks for all the sick dunksShammond Williams-Thanks for the 3's and playing with heartAaron McKie-Thanks for coming in late in the year for a few games, played wellJordan Farmar-Thanks for being a true PG, and a very smart one
Yup...I'm sure they are all reading this thread and appreciating your thanks. But I do want to say one thing: Lamar Odom. :worthy:

I don't know about the lakers improving next season..unless they do somthing this offseason, they have to make a trade or somthing they just have to make a significant move or I don't see them winning many more than they did this year, so really it's up to the lakers mangment to do somthing and if they actually want to get better right away rather than in later years.I watched many laker games this year so yeh I might as well say thank you *kobe* for putting on a show on most nights.
Is there any way to E-mail this to the Lakers PR or something?anyway. I think the team did their best in staying together with their heads up. It's tough when all that injury sh*t comes like it did. Kobe was spectacular as usual and Lamar (my favorite player) had a good season despite all the injuries he had. In fact, it could have been an Allstar year for him.Other notables:Ronny Turiaf's heart (well, surgically repaired heart) and Luke Walton's mind.Kobe's seemingly endless skill, Lamar's guts and Radman's insane beard.Kwame Brown making due despite criticism from just about everyone.Bynumite's growth (Sky's the limit for this dude), Smush Parkers streak of starts (say what you will but, he's still a Laker and as long as he wears the Forum Blue, he'll have my respect) and Chris Mihm's sharp suits (get well soon!).Sasha Vujacic's pesky D and timely three's.Mo Evens' being a solid backup and bringing much needed energy.Brian Cook making threes (he had a hard time moving around in the depth chart).Jordan Farmar dunking on the Sacramento Kings.Aaron McKie um...well, he got some minutes this year.Shammond Williams putting in all of the work despite limited playing time.I hate seeing these guys struggle but they are still my favorite team. I love the Lakers more than most of my family members. I hope next year is the start of another Laker's dynasty, and hopefully they'll raise #15 soon.
I know Sasha will never read this...But I would like the thank Sasha Vujacic for the memories he has provided this season, scoring over 1 PPG amongst other things. LMAOAnd of course KB24 who basicly makes it possible for anyone to be a lakers fan...Well smush parker...yeah... :no3:
