Anyone could see the money-problems with Ariza coming from a mile away. He was a big contributor, played very well, and still is only 24. He wants his big paycheck right now, and he already has a ring. Basically he already has like made 7 or 8 million in his 5 years, but now he wants a 5 or 6 year big contract to guarantee the good life. Which Charlie V just did, and so many with him. You can't forgive the guy, only I don't know why he'd go to the Cavs. They won't offer him much more than the Lakers do. Maybe he'll end up in Portland, where they'll either sigh Turk of him at SF I think.

they should go after odom and ariza no question about it. they have the experience and they would keep a functioning team that would definately make it to the WCF at least again next year, no doubt. question is just if ariza and odom want to not win championships with kobe and an experienced team that has been to the finals the last two years and won once, or if they want to dick around in the league doing nothing, if making mere money somewhere, if they dont already have enough.

It's sad to see Ariza go away like this, after a superb year he had. That will bring us some problems, like: if we sign Artest, will Odom accept to come off the bench again? Will Artest be totally focus in playing basketball, or will he bring distractions to the group, ejections and all?
Rasheed Wallace would be a good fit for LA, of those in the free agency. Shawn Marion maybe.  "You can put this one in the refrigerator. The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O is jiggling." Lakers 2009 NBA Champions |

Kobe Bryant -

Don't get too serious here, but isn't it kinda weird that Kobe needs other good players around him to get his championships? Like, he can't win one with just him leading the charge....
