ronny turiaf's value: salary and on the court
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 2:07 pm
like we all know, ronny is going to be a free agent this off season and the lakers are going to have to come to a decision about his future.
salary: i think he deserves a brian cookesque 3 yr 9-10 mil deal. anything more is overpaying. with bynum's extension looming and sasha about to get a pay day, i don't think the lakers can afford to pay him more.
on the court: disappointing. he's suppose to the the first big man off the bench but he's become a foul machine that can't rebound. chris mihm got some playing time ahead of him last game leading to one minute on the court. when bynum returns, is ronny even going to see the court? bynum will take starter minutes at center, gasol will take huge minutes at pf and center, and lamar, assuming he's still here, will take minutes at pf.
i was hoping he'd be the lakers version of millsap, landry, maxiell but he's shown that he's kind of a liability out there the way he instantly puts the other team into the penalty.
2 pts, 1.4 rbs, 1 blk, 2.2 fouls in 9 minutes. tough post season.
