Ronny needs to master his low-post game more, including a hook shot, before worrying about extending his range to beyond the arc.

love watching this guy, play. he is the kurt rambis of this generation. haha goofy looking, took some notes on how to dance from mark madsen, and plays with the most energy on this team. this is our spark and we must resign him.

Depends on the price.

I doubt there would be an issue there. Lakers love Ronny. Ronny Loves Lakers.

MLE or close to it should get it done. I hope

Turiaf has been awesome.

After that rough start against the Hornets when Pau went down, Turiaf bounced back and played like the Ronny we know. Terrific energy, good midrange jumper, running the floor well, cleaning up around the basket. His passing out of that post position was huge, critical for our offense. He really racked up the assists. But above all, his shotblocking and protecting the basket was critical for our ability to play defense.

We could not have won our games without him.

He's showing that he's a starter in this league, in my opinion. All the opposing teams announcers have recognized his high level of play. It's remarkable.

I question his durability as a starter. I think he's a solid minutes guy with starting talent, but if he were used as a starter he'd end up Brian Grant.

I feel he is like the malik rose from the early san antonio years. come in off the bench as a spark, block shots, hit the jumper, bang around the big guys and get the boards. He will sign I do believe we will give him a reasonable offer and he will sign.
