lol Then bad teams would be fighting to get the crappiest record.

Boston definately needed to be in the top 3, though, I think. Atlanta got extremely lucky and more bad news for my Suns

which team really needs Greg Oden?

the new chinese guy Yi Jian Lian is comparisons to Dirk. He admires A.I and Tracy.

They always say any hyped up international player is gonna resemble Dirk. Check out Darko and that Bargnani guy

Tough break for the Cavs last night, not being to win yet again in Detroit, and losing the game by the same identical score as in game 1.
It seems like LeBron isn't capable of taking over a game to get the win for his team.....at least not at this still early point in his career.

Since1983 · « **Reply #1664 on:** May 26, 2007, 09:29:53 AM »

Yea its like Deja Vu for the Cavs again. Same Score Same Possession.

thank God the Jazz won, now all they have to do is win 3 more times so that it wouldn't be another boring final.

Kobe says if Jerry West doesnt come back to the Lakers, he demands to be traded..

only source quoted this: l.a times.

RatBastich · « **Reply #1667 on:** May 28, 2007, 12:41:14 AM »

^That would be so crazy if that ever did happen.
Would have to wonder where would he end up at, and which team could actually afford to try and get Kobe.
That would pretty much ensure that the Lakers would end up at the very bottom of the West, if Kobe ever got traded.

Not too sure if Jerry West can come back to Lakers next season, since afaik, he's going to finish up the last year in his contract at Memphis.

The analyst said the best place for kobe might be chicago. Imagine a lineup of Kobe, Deng, Wallace, Hinrich.

That was bullshit. Here's the word from Kobe himself on his website, http://truth.kb24.com/

Quote from: Kobe Bryant

The Truth: I haven't asked for a trade
Was up you all.

Haven't checked in in a while,

I'm sure you guys have been hearing all this and that and are not sure what to think or believe.

The Truth section was created for times such as these.

So here's tha deal:

I have NOT asked to be traded, I don't want to be traded and I have given no ultimatums or demands of being traded.

I love it here in LA, my family loves it here.

I've been a laker fan my whole life. A REAL Laker fan! I'm talkin Silk Wilks days, and know the history of the Lakers going back to George Mikan era. I WANT to retire a Laker and contend for titles.

It is my opinion that Mr Clutch, one of the greatest GMs the game has ever seen would b able to get us to back to that level sooner rather than later.

If he is available, then it makes sense to give him the reigns and let him do what he does BEST. I KNOW I can trust him to build us an elite team.

I'm tired of losing and I'm sure you guys are tired of it as well.

Now is the time to step up and make some things happen. We have all have waited patiently for three years...Let's GO!

- Strength and Honor

and another interview today:

Quote

Bryant said repeatedly he isn't looking to waive his no-trade clause and leave the Lakers. He's just frustrated with losing and is searching for answers -- but trying to focus on his upcoming USA Basketball opportunity so he can keep a more positive mindset.

When asked what his message is that he wants people to know above all, he said: "I don't want them to misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not making any ultimatums or demands. My job is to play basketball. That's it. And that's what I'm going to continue trying to do to the best of my ability. But what I want to do is win."

Ain't no doubt The Logo is coming back

Even when the Lakers aren't in the playoffs, they're top news

How bout dem NBA Playoffs?? Fuckin Derron Williams going off like a tuna in the big blue sea! Flu or no flu, Spurs sure dominated. Woke dem the fuck up after Game 3. Too bad Fish

Kobe wouldn't have that no-trade clause in his contract if he didn't want to be a laker for life

if anything this was a wake-up call for laker management
getting Jerry West back would be a good idea but as long as Jim Buss is in control of this team, i don't see it happening

Kamesan · « **Reply #1671 on:** May 29, 2007, 10:28:13 PM »

Where there's smoke there's usually fire. Many baseball players have no trade clauses in their contracts and are willing to waive it under the right circumstances. Many have done so. I don't see why it would be any different for a basketball player. I'm not saying Kobe is lying and asked to be traded but I do think he would waive his no trade clause if it was to a team that could win a championship next year.

Since1983 · « **Reply #1672 on:** May 30, 2007, 12:18:12 AM »

You know Kobe should really stay in his place as a player. He's such a crybaby. Wasn't he the one that blew up the team when he didn't get along with Shaq and wanted him traded.

Jsmurf · « **Reply #1673 on:** May 30, 2007, 01:33:39 AM »

lol, but this is coming from a laker fan

. of course anything can happen but right now, it doesn't look like he's going anywhere does it

Shaq was too jealous of Kobe, it wouldn't have lasted anyways. He was also getting fat and lazy at the time, glad they traded him

anyways, are lakers gonna make a move on ron artest or not? i don't think they can get any of the big names...

Since1983 · « **Reply #1674 on:** May 30, 2007, 02:41:36 AM »

Yea but guess who won the championship since the split.

Jsmurf · « **Reply #1675 on:** May 30, 2007, 02:58:35 AM »

whats that gotta do with what were talking about. kobe could have won a championship by going to another team as well. didn't you just say that kobe blew up the team. how can can you win with a blown up team

RatBastich · « **Reply #1676 on:** May 30, 2007, 03:13:34 AM »

Cavs have tied it up 2-2 with the Pistons.

dissonance · « **Reply #1677 on:** May 30, 2007, 04:51:44 AM »

I'd really like to see the Cavs pull this one out their arse... starting to look more and more like last year. At least the Finals would be a bit more entertaining... *remembers when Duncan got posterized by LeBron* ...even if the Cavs get swept.

yeah right..Shaq, Malone, Payton, Phil Jackson..they were all too jealous of Kobe...it was all their problems!!! Lakers sucks because of Kobe's teammates...it's all their faults...everybody around Kobe is crap. Oh man..give me a break
When will the lakers' fans realize that Kobe is a poison!!! I hope Kobe would stay in lakers forever...i don't wanna see him ruin another team!

Since1983 · « **Reply #1679 on:** May 30, 2007, 09:16:01 AM »

Yea Kobe is soo full of himself but I guess he can be since he's amazing.
