I think DJ takes the most punishment when it comes to jokes for the Lake squad.

When does Sasha's contract expire?

I don't think Farmar will resign with the Lakers. I saw a local news station talking to him yesterday about Phil's decision on returning. They then asked him if he's going to be coming back. He said he doesn't know yet and will do what's best for his career. If he stays, he will see little play time, but will have a good shot at another ring. If he leaves, I'm sure there are teams out there that would put him as a starter. But chance of winning the 'chip?

It's pretty much guaranteed he isn't coming back. Lakers could've given him a qualifying offer but they did not, so he became a free agent. If the Lakers gave him a qualifying offer, he would of not been an UFA. Him and the Lakers don't see eye to eye.

Sasha's contract expires next year so expect him to play really hard and perhaps even shoot well in a contract year. He could be useful to trade as an expiring contract. Look for the Lakers to shop him near trade deadline if not now.

Steve Blake to the Lakers.

I like this.

Wade will meet with the Bulls again...apparently he's not so sure about Miami since it seems like Stoudamire will sign with NY

If we sign Miller and Blake, now we definitely have too many white guys on this Lakers squad. I love the Lakers championship t-shirts with cartoon faces and it usually has only 2 white faces on it.

"Fisher reportedly turned down a one-year, $2.5 million contract offer from the Lakers today, and is in talks with the Cavaliers and Heat. "

oh no! i guess the question remains...Can Kobe still win a championship without Fisher?!?!?

I hate to see Fisher go but I'd rather have Blake and Miller.

OC Guy · 07-02-2010, 07:37 PM

Blake most likely means more money to resign Fisher as opposed to Miller/Blake. But we will see.

BTM · 07-07-2010, 04:39 PM

Interesting tidbit just reported on the radio. May mean nothing, but I'll post it anyway. Apparently Lebron had the address his tax forms get sent to (or something along those lines) changed from a Cleveland address to a Chicago one...

Pretty nice pick up. Even without LeBron they are going to be a contending team IMO.

SpacE82 · 07-07-2010, 07:16 PM

Yeah, Boozer is a huge pick up. I've always liked him. I also heard last week that Lebron was looking for houses in highland park...also, could mean nothing

ben14142001 · 07-07-2010, 08:04 PM

^ Yeah, I'm really happy with Boozer as a Bull. He was my 2nd pick after Bosh if the Bulls picked up a big man, but I've never been a huge Amare fan (and he signed for $20 mil more). I also heard the same rumor about LeBron looking for houses in Highland. I guess we'll see tomorrow.

I think Boozer really sweetens the deal from Lebrons standpoint. The Bulls are basically saying, we're gonna get who we can and are gonna be a contender, you want in or not? Rose, Boozer, Noah, Thibideau (sp?) will be a force without LBJ, and a fucking freight train with him. Didn't hear about that Highland Park rumor...interesting how it links up with the tax document thing though...

ben14142001 · 07-07-2010, 11:48 PM

Damn dude, I didn't scroll up far enough last time to read your post about the address change. That's fricking awesome. I'd say that's pretty good news for us Chicagoans.

akack79 · 07-08-2010, 12:21 AM

If LeBron joins Boozer and Rose in Chicago............yikes......big 3 established.

Inspired · 07-08-2010, 01:33 AM

Many sources are still saying that LBJ is still going to Miami with bosh and wade..

Can't wait till tmrw..

Minefield · 07-08-2010, 02:54 AM

LeBron James will play wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns.

Inspired · 07-08-2010, 03:23 AM

It is official that Chris Bosh will be with Miami and Wade resigned.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5360911

Wouldn't doubt that Lebron will be in Miami now..

You may be right, but something to consider is that no matter what the Heat is Wade's team. "Wade county" and the like. Any championship LBJ wins there wouldn't be "his", I don't think he'd go somewhere where he's not clearly the number 1 guy
