If Odom plays like that, the Lakers are the best team in the league. Vujacic is a waste of time to even talk about right now.

Actually Vujacic has been garbage this whole season + playoffs.

Bmoney2K4 · 05-28-2009, 03:12 PM

I have always disliked Vujacic, i remember some games he would get more shots than odom. He expends too much energy on defense without being effective most times. Sometimes players blow right past him, if you remember Ray Allen just took him to school last Finals. He can't create anything for any of his teammates. He doesn't even know how to make a good pass on a fastbreak. The only thing good about him is he has a quick release on his jumpshot--I have never really seen him make any moves, he is so one dimensional.

ChineseGuy · 05-28-2009, 04:46 PM

Lakers needs a good PG...i say trade fisher and vujabitch for a decent PG...

If they can get D.Harris from the Nets i'll be very pleased...

Shannon Brown is not yet considered a good PG...but i do like him alot....

I disagree. We don't need more offensive minded players. We need a good solid pg that can defend and not get smoked by everyone they guard. I'd take Rondo and Hinrich over Harris.

CP3!

Lakers are fine.. if anyone, the Cav needs better and consistent team mates

P.S. I'm not a Boston Celtic fan either.

On the other hand, you could say the Magic beat the defending champs without their all-star point guard. Jameer Nelson is far more to the Magic than 17 ppg. He's the general on the court and the leader off the court.

+1.. props to the Magics.. never expected them to be so explosive in the playoffs..

shahsk30 · 05-28-2009, 05:18 PM

if the magic still had jameer, they could sweep the Cavs. lol

I disagree. Kevin Garnett is everything to that team. He is a leader that gets the team pumped and motivated. They revolve around him. He can rebound, shoot and play defense. If the Celtics had Garnett, they were going to win another championship this year.

CP3 is THE point God. He and Kobe are my 2 fav players.

Garnett is EVERYTHING to Boston, that's why they shelled out so much money for him. They wanted him to come to Boston before all the trades were made and he refused because at the time Boston sucked just as much as T-wolves.

Carmelo has been playing pretty well through out the Play Offs, finally decent enough to earn him the line of Jumpman shoes that he's been having, lol.

I wonder how the Cavs' performance will pan out when it's time for Lebron to make the decision to stay or leave the team.

Lebron is too nice of a guy, IMO. He needs to get on his guys like Kobe does.

LOL, they can't. Kobe's contract is ending and so is Lamar's. That's why they traded Vlademir in the first place, to free up money. They're going to spend most of their budget keeping Kobe and Lamar.

Ship Kobe and Lamar out and grab LeBron in 2010.

Then the Lakers will be exactly where they were after the 3 peat dynasty..one great player in a team with below mediocre players.

I'm sure Kobe will be a benchmark player and be like Magic, Larry, Mike who played for one team their entire career. (Wizards didn't count for Mike).

I'm not so sure about Lebron. Granted that he's from Akron and all, but money speaks louder than word. Not to mention him and Hov are close friends and Hov wants to move Nets to Brooklyn and would love 'Bron to come through with.

Lebron has been amazing in the last couple of minutes in the 4th.

Lol 1 great player? LeBron, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Trevor Ariza, and Shannon Brown. I say we three peat with this team easily.

wj4 · 05-28-2009, 10:35 PM

I will give Gasol the benefit of the doubt, but the other players are decent, just are far from reaching the greatness threshold.

Not sure how it will actually pan out with Laker fans though. Kobe can kill his wife OJ style and Laker fans will still say he's innocent.
