Horry is aabout to be Dallas Maverick now. Adds a little defensive depth to they're team. A good move for them. The Lakers denied his option, and when they sign Payton/Malone, they have no cap room to sign Horry. He won't be back.

George, most likely will be starting until Fox is in playing shape and 100%. The Lakers have not solved they're bench problem. It's still terrible. Fisher/Fox are the only 2 decent guys that will come off the bench. They have no one to replace Shaq, no answer for the combo of Kobe/Payton. They lack in the F position off the bench, without Fox being healthy yet. Who needs a bench when at least 2 of those guys will be out there, all the time.

I told everyone Kidd wasen't going anywhere. None of the powers in the west that he was intrested in gained anything from signing him for 100 million dollars. The spurs need that cap room to aquire another big man. Dallas needs defense, Sacramento just needs Webber to be healthy and play more then 50 games a year. I still think they are just as good as any team in the west when Webber is healthy. Even the Lakers.

The only other big name big men in the east that drew any interest were jermaine o'neal, 'zo, and pj brown. all of them are committed already to east coast teams (JO resigned with indiana, 'zo with NJ, and pj is staying in nawlins).

and i had no idea that robert horry was close to signing with the mavs. what a disappointment. (i'm a diehard laker fan, for the record.)

and kobe just said he's innocent. haha, not that it matters much, but i believe him. he's just too nice of a guy.

and as for the lakers? cancel the season and give them the trophy now.

Big Shot Bob came up short in the playoffs and most of the regular season, so he gets passed aside.

I really don't think he cares. He has five rings from two teams. He's just collecting paychecks now

" I still think they [Kings] are just as good as any team in the west when Webber is healthy. Even the Lakers."


The Kings have never been as good as the Lakers, with or without Webber. And as for Webber himself, he is the biggest crybaby the NBA has seen since Lambier retired. He's an over-rated hack, IMHO.

As Gary Payton stood on the stage at ESPN's Espys, he proclaimed "Don't fuck with me, brah."

Payton wearing Shaw's #20 is tough to get used to at first, but it would have been even more difficult to see someone running the floor in #32. Malone did the classy thing by politely and respectfully declining Magic's offer to bring the 32 jersey out of the rafters.

Perhaps the selfishness didn't cross the border into LA county!

I thought Malone *was* wearing Magic's #... what number will he take?

I haven't heard what number he's going to wear--after the press conference, Malone respectfully said that he didn't think the number should come down.

Let me call my people.

First, let me get some people, then I'm going to call them.

JoeyB

From our friends at msnbc


--Johnson told Malone he could wear his No. 32, which the Lakers retired, and Malone had said he would. But Malone changed his mind Thursday.
''I don't think 32 should be taken out of the rafters,'' Malone said. He didn't say which number he will wear. --

That's all I know. More updates as they become available.

tikki

yeah, i don't think i would have been too pleased if 32 was taken down. Malone may be great, but he is no Magic.

You can go ahead and erase Bryant's name off your list there Halx, Kobe is not going to be playing with your boys this season, unless they can visit him in the BIG HOUSE.

shaq=ignorance

Is that when Byrant's Court case begins? I too am excited about the case. I feel all rapists should be thrown in jail forever.

Halx

I say this with a lot of respect, dude


You are talking out of your ass.

If he isn't found innocent. It will be jail time. No ass talking about that.

I still think this is some money hungry whore, but, never know I guess.

Has anyone seen a pic of her?

But can all of those superstars get along on the same team? They're all used to runnin' things; aren't they going to clash just a little? Payton is a livewire and won't take any crap. Espacially if someone isn't pulling their weight.

shaq=ignorance

True, I may be talking out of my ass, but soon Kobe will be taking it in the same whole. Once he is in Jail I think all of Colorado can sleep soundly knowing that a rapist has been given the rath of justice. Sorry that your plans for a dynasty being rebuilt in LA has fallen between the cracks.

Nothings been proven yet shaq=ignorance, innocent until proven guilty. I would have thought you'd heard that before.

this statement might carry more weight if it didn't have the two glaring spelling errors.

Who cares? He really doesn't have anything to say anyway. You actully bother reading the garbage this tub of goo posts? He talks alot, but really has nothing to say.

shaq=ignorance

Spelling? I'm Shaq man, I can barely talk coherently , and your riding my ass for spelling?

shaq=ignorance

I agree, I am a big fat piece of Goo, and I can barely run down the court and get back on defense most nights. I also agree with you that I really do not have much to say either when the camera crews put the microphone in my face, I just spew ignorance, that is where I got my name.
