If you have to pick Laker fans?

Both Vujacic and Turiaf want to stay.
If only 1 could remain, who would you keep (match)?

Just look at their playoff contributions. It's the very definition of a no-brainer.

I think the reality is, it comes down to money...

If Sasha thinks he deserves a ton of money and the market for him supports it, I don't think his contributions in the play-offs matter as much...

Turiaf is a PF... He's not a C and to judge him for his contributions as a back-up C is unfair. I think he'd be a perfect backup for Gasol at PF next season. And on top of that, I don't think he'll demand a whole lot to stay...

If I had to guess, they either both stay or Sasha walks for a bigger paycheck.

If I have to choose, I'd go for Ronny.

I love the Machine too, but if he asks for too much money, just let him go.

that's kinda tough... you need guys like Ronny so much, and yet Sasha really stepped. I'd keep Sasha because Mihm is gonna be around to play some pf minutes this year for better or worse. We'd have to find a sg or use undersized fish there if sasha goes.

Good point CC
My first thought is keep Ronny, but there is more depth (for better and worse) at Forward/Center.
Guard depth is poor, luckily Kobe can play 45 min when needed.

come on people! you know Phil jackson requires shooters in his offense, if Sasha goes our only premeir shooter becomes Radman. wtf?

and Ronni is not even making a million this year, do you think he will demand a lot? truth is he is a second round pick, so he will be had on the cheap.
