Makes no sense unless their plan is for him to back up Aldridge.

That's a high 50's win team and a darkhorse contender. Nothing to be ashamed about.

I guess I'm not up-to-date on things, but Chris Wallace did what exactly? Prevent KP from signing Hedo somehow is all I got. EDIT: Oh, right, Miles, haha. That's on KP, pure amateur crap.

Has there ever been a team in NBA history that was the youngest in the league, won 54 games, and failed to get better the following season(s)? Barring injuries, the Blazers winning 60 games next season wouldn't surprise anyone. That might make them more than just a dark horse too, they'd be...

With absolutely no changes, just internal improvement and growth from their young players (mostly Oden), I see no reason they aren't a dark horse next year and a contender by 2011 at the latest.

Yes, David Stern is a Lakers fan.

He can and has signed players to keep title teams intact. Odom isn't likely to get $10M, that just isn't happening after years of him being overpaid for his worth, especially when he got his trade kicker dollars from the Heat trade. Odom is going to get under $10M/yr ($8M/yr in the most likely...

Also note that Buss would prefer $100M in total salaries, so a salary dump is almost a given.

In no universe will payroll need to be $117M for Buss to resign both Ariza and Odom. If the luxury tax is at $71M, the math is the following: Kobe: 23.0M Gasol: 16.5M Bynum: 12.5M Ammo: $5.3M Fish: 5.0M Sasha: 5.0M Luke: 4.8M Farmar: $2M Brown: 0.85M Mbenga: 0.85M Powell: 0.85M Yue: 0.75M...

That sounds reasonable in maybe some other year/offseason, but once you actually go through the teams that would need a solid 2-way role player at SF that have the cap space to offer a starting deal at $8M in the 2009 offseason, you realize you're down to virtually no one. Odom is a different...

Except no one is going to offer him $8M per over 5 because virtually no one has the cap space to blow their load on Ariza this summer and the teams that do certainly aren't going to bust their cap nut on a very solid role player, especially not in this economy with the cap likely going down this...

^ rofl. Nice.

^ The rim nor backboard was vibrating as the ball made contact therefore it's not a goaltend. Sorry kiddo, you lose.

I'm a soul-less Laker fan so your dolls won't hurt me.

I'm a diehard Laker fan for my 30+ years on the planet, and frankly I love the state of Oregon and the current Blazers team, which is full of youth, potential, and a great budding superstar in Roy. There's very little to hate, and I'd guess that a vast majority of the Laker base that hates the...
