Lakers final roster for 2011

[Slava]

Well.. picking up the triangle and winning a ring are two mutually exclusive things.

I think to learn it in full it takes a few years, from all Phil and others have said, who know bastketball.

Constructing a sentence from those four parts is as tough as taking you seriously.

Well I'll trust Phil over a pseudo wanna be Basketball anaylist.

i haven't heard any news bout the 2 rooks signing, are they waiting till pre-season?

Unfortunately Pau Gasol, Ariza and a few others say otherwise. But hey they don't know basketball like you do, do they?

Are you seriously comparing PAU GASOL'S intellect and ability to comprehend complex ideas to that of the average NBA player? And what did ariza ever do on O besides slash to the hoop for a perfectly delivered lob by Pau, or wait WIDE OPEN at the 3pt line for kobe or pau to get doubled and kick it out?

The triangle is a read and react offense. Ariza did his best to make intelligent cuts, collect offensive rebounds and make himself available for the pass right since he arrived here.

Those things "ARE" part of the offense and he played his role to perfection. We never wanted him to drive and kick or create his own offense. We have others do it for us and he understood his role and produced right since his arrival.

I really don't understand why you are acting like what Ariza did is elementary. Heck we still pick on LO for not doing the same things after all these seasons here.

Well I'll trust Phil over a pseudo wanna be Basketball anaylist.

and I'll trust a basketball analyst over a guy making empty opinions out of thin air.

"Penberthy"Are you seriously comparing PAU GASOL'S intellect and ability to comprehend complex ideas to that of the average NBA player?

He's a smart guy, perfect for the tri, but it still took him a couple years to perfect it, notice rings after second year in tri.

And what did ariza ever do on O besides slash to the hoop for a perfectly delivered lob by Pau, or wait WIDE OPEN at the 3pt line for kobe or pau to get doubled and kick it out?

And learn the tri.

Shawn Marion finished lobs and hit open 3's with nash, that doesn't mean he was running the triangle.

[Slava]

WTF are you talking about?

[Jase]

Pretty solid if you ask me... most def have upgraded bench!

I like that you added the rooks. A lot of people question if they'll make the team. I really like the additions, specifically Blake, Barnes and Ebanks.

[ShowtimeFan]

Barring any trades this should be the final roster for the Lakers heading into the 2011 season...

CENTER:
Andrew Bynum / Pau Gasol / Theo Ratliff

POWER FORWARD:
Pau Gasol / Lamar Odom / Derrick Caracter

SMALL FORWARD:
Ron Artest / Matt Barnes / Devin Ebanks / Luke Walton (Injured)

SHOOTING GUARD:
Kobe Bryant / Shannon Brown / Matt Barnes / Sasha Vujacic

POINT GUARD:
Derek Fisher / Steve Blake / Shannon Brown

Quoting the Sons of Anarchy (rerun) last night: "I ACCEPT THAT"...!

[Anklebreaker702]

Ebanks is probably going to the "D" league but everyone else is solid up until the trade dead line.
