I read that Marc Spears article and found the McGrady part interesting. The interesting part is that

the Knicks are already willing to give up Jordan Hill in a package for McGrady. I wonder why they ready to give up on the rookie already. Don’t they value cheap contracts? I’m curious to know what it would take to pry away Jordan Hill.

The Lakers don’t need Nate Robinson. Robinson is a known chucker and will have the ball in his hands a bit too much. I don’t like his decision-making. I don’t think the offense will be a problem for the bench since Walton is back. Now, if the Lakers are interested in Chris Duhon, then I would be onboard with the trade.

Bosh Responds to the question of taking less than a max deal from anyone...
“That’s a good question,” Bosh said before his game against the Knicks – one of his potential suitors – when asked if he’d be willing to accept something less than a max deal in order to play with better talent. “I don’t know (laughs). I don’t know about (LeBron James and Dwyane Wade). I really don’t know. Like I said, it’s a business, so that would be tough to do. You’d really have to make a big commitment to do that.”

Heh, key statement
You’d really have to make a big commitment to do that

Like have a chance to win championships for the next half-decade? But seriously, he deserves a max deal. It’s like saying Kobe should take a paycut.

I could not disagree more.

In no way what-so-ever should Kobe take a pay cut. He makes the Lakers a ton of money, and they aren’t a team strapped for cash. They are small market, and struggling to make a profit, and/or lure free agents. Kobe should every penny he’s eligible because he’s earned that right. He is a big reason the Lakers can charge what they do for tickets and concessions. He’s worth the price of admission, and he’s the most popular player in the World.

The only reason Kobe should take a “pay cut” is if he want s to “look good” in the eyes of some fans. It’s not about the Lakers needing him to take a pay cut to sign other players, it’s about the Lakers making less of a profit if they feel like it. they can afford the payroll they have in large part due to Kobe Bryant.

Defenitely agree

It’s rare to see a player make such a committment. Shaq did it with Miami and Malone and GP did it to come to the Lakers but for a player to do it as he is approaching his prime that would be really hard to believe that he would do it. That’s like expecting Shaq to have taken a pay cut when he first came to the Lakers. Although there is no comparison between Shaq and Bosh but the fact that Shaq was as young as Bosh is now is hard to believe he will do it at 25 (no 100% sure about his age)

Shaq didn't take a pay cut.

He was traded partly because he wanted every single penny of an extension.

He took a paycut in Miami

$78 seems pretty good.

I live in Providence and the cheapest prices I can get for the Lakers vs. celtics game are $140 each.

by wondahbap on Jan 16, 2010 1:11 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Face value of $53.00

$39-43 are the cheapest face value.

by wondahbap on Jan 16, 2010 1:11 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

maybe you have a point

perhaps i will look for a different matchup
that might have cheaper tickets

Another place to try is

fansnap.com

But I usually buy from stubhub, because some sellers don’t know the value as much as others, so you might find a steal sometimes.

Adande on the possibility of a Bosh trade
Jason (Bozeman/Montana)

Chances Bynum for Bosh trade really happens?

J.A. Adande (3:01 PM)

I was told “zero” by a Toronto source a week ago, but I think as we get closer to the trade deadline the chances of any big deal increase. So maybe increasing to 30%. The Raptors still don’t want to trade Bosh and are hoping things will work out. If they don’t get those signs, I haven’t heard a scenario that’s much better than Bynum.

Sadly, I really enjoy watching "Payback" whenever it's on TNT's late night lineup

Lakers 2009 Road to Redemption: TREVOR, DEREK, LAMAR, PAU & KOBE.
Play the game of which Lakers reminds you of: TA - TI, Shannon Brown - Chris Brown, Pau Gasol - Jesus, Machine - Luis Scola/Russell Brand, PJ with mustache and beard - Colonel Sanders.

In light of the team's final trip up north for the season. I thought we go down memory lane to look back at a classic game against the Warriors in Oakland. The day was April 20, 1999, yes the day of Columbine Massacre. Also, has anyone noticed that we have had a lot of classic games against the Warriors even though we have always assembled better teams than they did.?

Heres a new mix I made.

Kobe hasnt always been known as a clutch player. In game 5 of the 1997 Eastern Conference Semifinals, he missed a shot to win the game in the 4th quarter and 2 three-pointers to tie the game in the last minute of overtime, all of the shots being airballs. With that the Utah Jazz ended the playoffs for the Lakers in the 2nd round. Shaquille O'Neal commented years later that "Kobe was the only guy who had the guts at the time to take shots like that."

Ever since that horrible experience in his rookie year, Kobe has worked harder and has learned how to make those shots with the game on the line. This vid features some lines from Carmelo Anthony's Become Legendary commercial as well as some of Kobe's recent gamewinners.

Enjoy!
Kobe Game Winner vs Raptors - Whoa, I watched this and then I read the comments on Youtube claiming Kobe travelled, which I had not heard of. Then, after watching a few times, I have to say, I agree, Kobe changes his pivot foot before putting the ball down on the floor. I also think there's no way a ref catches that in real time, and even if they do, they can't be sure enough to call it then, either.
