Do u guys think we missed an opportunity of signing Ben Gordon for 11 million plus some league min PF instead of signing Ariza and LO. Ariza and LO will cost us a min of 13 million ..

BG is a much better outside shooter than LO and Ariza , he would have given a lot more room for Kobe to work with..

I like Gasol , Bynum , BG , Kobe and Fish starting line up much better than what we have today.. we would lose some bench production but BG could have more than made up for that..

We couldn't sign Gordon because we're over the cap. The only reason we can sign Odom/Ariza is because we own their bird rights and the team that has those rights can sign their own players regardless of that team being over the cap.
