LOL @ the Rockets having to give up EVEN MORE :lol:

No matter what Stern does, he can't hide the fact that he's wearing a Laker jersey under his suit 8-)

The only logical thing that should happen now is the Lakers giving up more AND/OR taking back more

Not important right now. Go watch this video and lay down your verdict on the blow thrown at 3:43. Fist or forearm?

Thats a punch. Forearm? are we even watching the same video? No where near a forearm

The f*** ever! Fist dose not hit the face, the forearm just behind the wrist does.[/quote]

Thats a punch... I know u train mma n all but thats a punch buddie. Forearm graze's his face but @ that angle its the punch that cut him. Forearm would not have caused that cut, a Elbow yes forearm no.

The lakers have brainwashed the rockets im starting to wonder if the rockets gm is a former laker player

I might make it to 5,000 posts before we figure out what's going on with Dwight.

Looks like AK47 is just hitting the rumor mills. 15 teams interested.

It sucks for us because Denton is off today for his daughter's birthday and baumann is covering UCF. I think we got Rudolph and Robbins at Amway and no one saying nothing now 1 hour into scheduled practice. Robbins did hint it might not start on time, not sure if that meant something or not.

I'm all for the full MLE on AK47.

Because NJ has cap space next summer and we don't.

That's why I really want to hear them land Nene and use up that cap.

then dwight will just force his way to the lakers once this chris paul deal goes down.

How can he force his way? The Lakers will only have the MLE to offer Dwight if we kept him until the summer. He won't take that.

the lakers would be able to get under the cap if they dump gasol and odoms deals. Amnesty artest and luke walton retires. They already dumped shannon browns contract too.

Can someone clearly define "fist", "forearm"' , and"elbow"?

I agree. We already have depth at those spots, so now it's about upgrading positions if any moves are to be made (via trade or FA) and AK47 fits that idea.

Jefferson and AK. Who are we hypothetically trading to Utah to get them?

If the Magic do get to the point where they have to trade Howard I'm hearing a deal for Bynum AND P.Gasol tops list. Turk also included.

rcklsscognition · Post #339 » by **rcklsscognition** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 10:10 pm

Got to hope for J-Rich, Nelson, Q-Rich to GSW for Ellis and Biedrins.

Getting under the cap and still being able to afford 20 million in salary are two different things. If the Lakers get Paul, him and Kobe would be around 49 million in salary just for two players, LOL!
