Gasol trade not as clearcut to weekend warriors

I came across an article on Yahoo! Sports called “Lakers were the only team made aware of Gasol’s availability.” The article swayed Peter Vecsey’s opinion on how Memphis could have gotten more than just Kwame Brown.
I scrolled further below to read some of the comments made by users to this rather short articles, and much [...]

Kobe might get what he wants

Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson says the team still needs a big power forward who can rebound, block shots, and defend.
Jermaine O’Neal of the Indiana Pacers qualifies as that type. Negotiations to acquire O’Neal broke down over the summer, but will the O’Neal trade talk be revived when Lamar Odom shows he’s healthy?
“I’m [...]

Jerry Buss Indirectly Threatens Kobe in LA Times

In an article today in the La Times, Laker’s owner Jerry Buss had a more than interesting interview with Mike Bresnahan. The article basically covered Jerry Buss’ reaction towards Kobe’s summer meltdown where he was not satisfied with what was going on with the Laker’s organizations, both with Laker’s management and Laker’s team personnel.
One [...]

Kobe Knows Real Deal Behind Shawn Marion Trade

Did it seem odd to anybody else besides me that Kobe Bryant got back on the Lakers bandwagon rather quick this media day. This is the same guy that was criticizing the Laker’s on national radio 5 times in one day, and could not think of playing for the Laker’s again.

What might really have been [...]

Lamar Odom, ‘Been There Done That’

I found this article from the Press-Enterprise that got a hold of our good friend Lamar Odom.
Lamar said he gets countless text messages and phone calls regarding if he is going to get traded or not.

That’s what people ask him. [...]

Mitch Kupchak Hates Kobe Bryant

“If this was the team that we started the season off with, I would be fine with it,” said Mitch Kupchak in an interview that appeared in the Daily News on Saturday.

The Countdown to Jermaine Oneal Being a Laker

Am I wrong or am I right? I am starting to feel the inclinations of the Lakers getting a six time all-star starting center on their roster.
Jermain Oneal gave his hint during Baron Davis and Paul Pierce’s annual L.A. Stars Charity Basketball Game at USC’s Galen Center. I bet Jermaine felt the vibe from [...]

Kobe Bryant!! Is he staying or leaving?

I know that is the question that everyone wants to know. Kobe Bryant has been quiet with his demands on being traded. Recently, the NBA announced the schedule for the 2007 – 2008 NBA season and what’s interesting is that the schedule for the Lakers is posted on his site. But even more [...]

Jermaine O’Neal to the Lakers??

This off-season for the Los Angeles Lakers hasn’t been very good as far as Kobe asking to be traded and all the hoopla surrounding it.
