I was sooooo excited to read this thread, but it is nothing close to what I expected.

Here in "star form" are some things you might want to focus on in your next thread.
1. a RJ trade request
2. Us somehow getting Kevin Love, with no draft picks
3. The use of the word "debute"


Better luck next time.

I agree with all your points star26, I will add my own "why we shouldn't panic":

1. The NBA and ABC is just milking it. They want game seven. Game seven = revenue

2. KG is too old. Gasol = younger

3. Cause Steve Hartman said so!! :rock:

Mihmee is a girl huh? Wow a girl who knows that much about ball, I wish my wife knew that much but if she did she would be so good I wouldn't think she was real.

Anyway I believe we will have a little bit of homecourt and I don't think we will blow it and if we don't we could still have a edge up. Problem is truely we need 4 out of the next 5 games. Tough, but can we be beaten 3x in a row? No.

Alright I held up the lie as long as possible. It's still possible to win this thing and really it is true if we protect the homecourt we get a fresh start but I am scared right now. I am starting to look into next year. What did you guys expect, I always worry.

Even though I am scared my points are good and valid and could be true. We really could still win this thing. Phil has got to look at the roster and make some adjustments and our boys will play better at home with that the momentem can change. The only problem is 1 loss in LA and it's a wrap.

Plus side is if Bynum was in this series we would be 2 games away from winning the championship. The Bulls, Blazers future dynastys are not ready and Lebron is still a Cav and the Celtics are gonna be kind of old next year and maybe not as hungry and surely not as hungry as we will be.

I didn't mean the pricks thing. I was not really trying to wage war or be serious I just was a little uptight and I am sorry.

I even wrote for entertainment and for the people who miss the late star24 of 06-07 my newest RJ for Odom trade and why.

The Lakers will have Bynum back next year and not even Phil Jackson can keep Bynum off the bench for longer then half a season without a riot.
That means imo they will need more of a real sf. Artest would be the best pick for this but with the trianlge and him wanting to go home I think RJ is the best option.
They can even turn his contract into a positive.

RJ
Boone

For

Odom
Radman

If they sign Odom for a 4-5 year deal for around 45 million and have the first year pay him around 9 and throw in Radman to give the Lakers a little cap room it could work.

This makes the Nets alot better to because imo RJ and Carter don't really have a problem playing with each other but I think Carter really needs to play the sf spot because he can't guard the 2guards.

So the benefits for the Nets would be

1.More of a versitle player

2.Finally they get there pf who can play sf

3.He can really be a fastbreak player. RJ is a perfect fastbreak player but Odom is even more suite for it being not only can he run the break but he can start it and be the point for it.

4.They have more options in the draft having a player like Odom who can play multiple positions. Harris already gives them the option to draft a Gorden if he slips with Harris being able to guard sg's.

5.Odom never really played to his potential playing with Kobe. On the Nets he could be a 19 point 11 rebound 5 assists guy with a block or 2.

6.It would really be benefitual to Carter. He would probably average 25 a game again.

7.Radman was a decent player on the Sonics but I don't think he does good in the triangle but I think he can do well on the Nets. He can be a 14 point a game scorer.

8.Kristic is a really good player but playing with no help upfront makes it so much harder. With Odom Kristic could easily be a 17 point a game scorer.


Lakers benefits

1.Bynum-Gasol-RJ-Kobe-Fisher that team is absolutley perfectly made.

2.RJ is a real sf exactly what the team needs.

3.Odom was always inconsistant with the Lakers. I think it's the triangle. He was meant to play in a fastbreak offense. RJ can do both, he is much smarter of a player and would pick up the triangle on the plane ride to L.A.

4.RJ can guard the better of the 2/3 so he would really help Kobe. He could be Kobe's Pippen in that sence.

5.Kobe is really the only one on the team that can get to the rim at anytime. You need more then 1. RJ would be that second player. Odom does have that finger role and decent layups but not like RJ.

6.Lakers get to unload Radman and his redicous contract and if they do it right they can save some coin for Bynum.

7.Yet another player that can hit the 3. Again a big help to Kobe. I always felt when you have a player like Jordan-Kobe-Lebron you need to surround them with players that make the game easier for them. Odom never did that for Kobester imo.

8.The Defense will be alot better. They have 2 7 footers for block shots and now they will have 2 defensive studs who can lock down the wing and when they throw Sasha in there that is a defensive studly team.

9.Odom is a better all around player but RJ is a hell of an allaround player to. He can play pg in spurts and even pf at times, not like Odom but he can. He is not the passer Odom is but he is a really good passer for his position and a 22 point a game scorer.

but can RJ handle being a 3rd option, and would he accept being paid like one?
