Guest Vitamin X Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 If we traded Odom to the Blazers, I don't know who would come back. We need players that can play now, not guys for 5 years from now. Randolph and/or someone like Travis Outlaw? Raef LaFrentz? What do the Lakers need? I know that Smush Parker might be getting traded or released soon to the Clippers of all teams, and PG has been the position they've needed the most help at for a while now. I don't think Portland would want someone like a Kwame Brown, plus the salaries wouldn't match up. My suggestion for Randolph would actually be ideal for what you want- He's Kobe's age or so, I think, maybe younger. He's playing at a very high level these days, and as Ripper mentioned, he's not winning a title with Portland anytime soon. He would be incredibly useful in L.A.. EDIT: To answer Ripper's question, the only trade rumor I've heard for Randolph so far has been a straight up trade with New Jersey for Richard Jefferson.
Brett Favre Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 If I were the Lakers, i'd trade Odom for Randolph and sign and trade Bynum and filler for Rashard Lewis. There's your big three right there.
Guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 A 3 way deal would work best. Us getting Odom to the Blazers for their young talent, and getting those guys over to a team with a star player, so that way we can keep Bynum. A guy like Pau Gasol. I would like Randolph, but we need someone that can do it on the defensive end. I heard that Kobe wants Artest more than any other player, I'm not sure how I feel about that. This is going to be a big offseason for a lot of teams, probably the biggest since the Grant Hill and McGrady to Orlando year. And I'd do that above scenario like, yesterday if it took that much to sign and trade for Lewis. I don't think that it would though, the Sonics have a shitload of project big men.
Ripper Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 FLOP OFF~! Maybe the refs felt bad about game 3 because they are calling alot of chippy bullshit on the spurs right now.
alfdogg Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Posted May 15, 2007 Duncan better hold that laughter, wouldn't want to get tossed in a situation like this!
Ripper Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 I can't be the only one that expected Finley to hit that.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 I can't be the only one that expected Finley to hit that. No Finley, Fisher and Cassell are on my short list of players who I expect to hit every shot they take in the 4th quarter

No Finley, Fisher and Cassell are on my short list of players who I expect to hit every shot they take in the 4th quarter I have to admit. I never expect Duncan to miss. Fade away from out of bounds, I expect it to bank in.
Ripper Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 Nash has balls the size of basketballs to even try that pass with what was on the line.
Ripper Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 Nash should be a wrestler after that bump. He got hit, and it was a flagrant two, but come on.
Ripper Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 God...fucking...dammit. Stoudimire did just come on the court. And honestly I think so did Diaw.
2GOLD Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 Nash should be a wrestler after that bump. He got hit, and it was a flagrant two, but come on. Robert Horry gave one heck of a forearm shiver. Steve Nash should show up on ECW and sell a Pounce from Marcus CorVon, he seems to know his skills. Damn that looked nasty. Marv said it before I could, Amare was coming into the game and just got caught in innocent bystander land.

Oh I agree, he'll be a great wrestling sell artist. I honestly didn't see a way that Horry sent him flying that damn much. Nice rally by the Suns, hopefully this ends that "ARE THE SPURS IN THE SUNS HEADS?!?!" crap I have heard this entire series. It's gotten really old.
randomguy Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 That would be pathetic if the Sun ended up with guys suspended over this. I hate the Spurs now. I used to like them in the Robinson days but now they are just thugs and cheaters. The worst was a couple of games ago where Ginobli fell down then fucking grabbed Stoudemire's legs in a deathgrip.

This was one of those call us "dirty",let me show what dirty really is plays by Horry. Uncalled for, but I bet that was what he was thinking.
alfdogg Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Posted May 15, 2007 If we're going by the book, Amare really should be suspended. He wasn't just going to check in, that is a lame excuse, period. I've never seen someone go check in by dashing off the bench with their chest puffed out. Ron Artest got suspended for the same thing in '04, and Amare came off farther than he did. But pivotal game 5, I doubt he gets suspended. Horry's obviously out, that was pretty much James Posey on Hinrich last year. But man, Raja Bell, I hate that fucker, have ever since he played for Dallas. Dude thinks he's the biggest fucking badass in the world.
Cheech Tremendous Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 I have a serious man-crush on Steve Nash.
alfdogg Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Posted May 15, 2007 Horry's obviously out, that was pretty much James Posey on Hinrich last year. I said it before TNT!
2GOLD Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 Suns are screwed in Game 5, they are going to lose two guys when the reality is this is the NBA's fault. They let the Spurs hit below the belt, wipe out legs and get a Suns player cross checked. They are going to lose Diaw and Amare and the Spurs will probably run them over. Ignore the rules were players safety is put in jeopardy with cheap shots but lock down on a guy stepping on the court. That's how it goes though, one is a rule and the other is nothing at all.
Guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 Holy fucking overreaction. That Horry shot was not that bad. Sure it's suspension worthy, but you guys make it sound like Horry went Karl Malone on Isiah Thomas' head.
alfdogg Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Posted May 15, 2007 Ironically, the rule was influenced by a brawl the Suns had with the Knicks in the early 90's.
Just John Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 That pounce sequence was pretty sweet, as the Spurs and Suns are really starting to get nasty with each other now. Also, good job by the Suns hanging in there and stealing it in the final minutes. They were dominated most of the game, and I was quite surprised when they actually got the lead back. Game 5 should be pretty crazy. I think the NBA will suspend Horry and Diaw to set an example, but I don't think they'll do anything to Amare. No way they want to kill any potential excitement from Game 5 by suspending a big gun like that.
Adam Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 A question for everyone, from someone who doesn't have cable anymore so I can only watch highlights: are the referees (and the NBA) showing favouritism toward San Antonio, and if so, why? Because that's what everyone is making this out to be.
bobobrazil1984 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 watching that last play with vince carter, this guy never fails to live up to my preconception of him as "the most talented dumb player in the league". Great talent, he just has BAD decision making abilities, I've always thought he has no idea what's a good shot and what's a bad shot, and that decision making seems reflected in his inside or outside play.

No way they want to kill any potential excitement from Game 5 by suspending a big gun like that. Their intentions would be pretty obvious if they did that, though. I don't think they'd want that. You pretty much have to suspend both, or neither.
