We got Blake mainly for his defense.. He always played Kobe very well.. Farmar on the other hand was the big liability.. I consider us greatly upgraded in that area this coming season. Brown isn't really a point, considered an undersized two.. Just a great athlete. I like him but I'd consider Bell a better piece than him..

 

[The Josh]

I think most outside of CLE arent mad that he left.

I just think the majority are turned off by his lack of courtesy and narcisistic approach in how he severed ties and are surprised he joined "Wades team" instead of forging his own Legacy say w/ the Bulls..

Would I have been stoked to have him join my team?.. Sure.. But I would never have envisioned him playing w/ Kobe (or Wade) I would have thought he would rather beat those guys.

He just comes off as a d i ck and in a sense bailing out on his establishing himself as an all time great.

Personally I don't like him saying the Heat are going to win the next 7 plus campionships.. Disrespectful to alot of teams. Looking forward to the project failing. It will be great as long as they are winning, but watch out if they hit a lull or endure a losing streak. Thats where I see alot of issues arising. Will James storm off the court in a tizzy like he did 2 seasons ago if they fail in the playoffs?..

Not a lock, they will lack depth which can sink a ship. Look how it hurt a talented Laker team last season. To make it out of the East they will have to beat some good teams. Boston, Chicago, Orlando, Atlanta. Success isnt guarantee'd like loud mouth James is proclaiming. How will they match up w/ The Lakers Length and grit "if" they make it to the final round?.. Right now they're 6 players deep and out of money.

Bodie- I think you said it perfectly.

Did I want him in Chicago? Damn right I did. Would I have still been disappointed if he had done the special and gone to the Bulls? Yeah, I would have.

As I've said to just do that to your home town is wrong. I don't blame him for leaving. Just do it differently.

Kobe having a face to face to Raja Bell today.. Anyone that has the balls to lay him out seems he wants on his team.

If the Lakers sign Bell, bye bye Shannon Brown.

If you guys get my boy Bell i'll be cheering for him. Ive liked him since his early days in dallas with nash, and still salty that PHX let him go.

I have been reading in the papers here Bell may go to the Spurs. They have more money to offer, but he will probably choose LA.

I'm curious where all this money is coming from LA when they told Fisher and Jackson to take a pay cut.................

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

La is basically out of money.. But we have an owner thats willing to spend to make us better..

Spurs can offer Bell the most.. Miami is offering the least.. LA is in between but w/ a chance to join an established winner..

so is phil returning for one more year? last i read he was undecided.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Yes he is back. Shaw will probably take over when he leaves.

Would've loved for Byron Scott to coach the Lakers, but I love B. Shaw too.

Shaw is a better fit since he's been a student of Phil. Easier transition and from what I hear has the respect of the players.

Scott is screwed over in CLE..

True on both counts.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Mike Miller getting cold feet w/ Miami.. Other teams upping offers to try to keep him from going there. This prolly being his last "real" contract he's looking at all those extra millions..

 

[LChinoz]

If Miami gets Miller and Howard, the team is shaping up quite well if you ask me.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Miller would be big for them.. Juwon is a big drop off from there. I can't believe he's still playing..

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

He's hesitating..

$$$

 

[LChinoz]

I don't agree about Juwan. He can still rebound and shoot the mid-range jumper. He will be key for them, watch and see.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

If no Miller they better hope he can do that for them for alot of minutes all season long.

He had a bit of resurgance last season, but the 2 years prior to that he averaged 1 rebound. I wouldn't expect much from him.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Kobe sends a private helicopter to pick up Bell.. Bell never even gets on and accepts a 3 year 10 million dollar offer fron Utah.. Damn.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Kobe sends a private helicopter to pick up Bell.. Bell never even gets on and accepts a 3 year 10 million dollar offer fron Utah.. Damn.

He'll regret it when we knock him out of the playoffs next year.

Thank god for you guys...you can now go back to calling him a crappy defender and player. All is right in the world again.
