Question..Mihm hasn't played since the last denver game. Anybody know where he is at?

Edit- I just tired the trade in the trade machine and it doesn't work.

lamar, kwame and javaris for kidd and boone works.
p.s.
mihm hasn't played cuz his ankle is acting up again

Tupac... are the jerseys made by adidas too?

What pro image did you go to? I think I have one by my job.

All adidas

. I went to the pro image in arcadia mall. Very goodinventory of jerseys there.

i say any trade involving Jordan is dumb unless it's for someone who is a superstar.
Correct.

The only way we should get artest is if it's for kwame straight up.
False. Artest > Kwame, and every team knows it. It would have to be Kwame + _______ for Artest. Bet that.

Ron Artest has proven time and time again that he's crazy. Couple that in with Kobe and Phil Jackson it has a chance to get real good or real ugly.
False.

Artest isn't crazy; he's just portrayed that way. Seriously, dude was fine in Chicago and fine in Indy, and then that Malace at the Palace happened andall of a sudden, he was pinned as this psycho, like it's completely unreasonable to go after someone that throws beer on you.

And you think Artest would fail to work for Phil Jackson and Kobe? Look how Rodman worked out for Phil Jackson + Michael Jordan. Yeah, they sure had a hardtime getting Rodman to be a contributor for them, huh? All they could do with him was... win 3 more championships, and grab the best single-season record inNBA history.

As glad I'm to see the Lakers getting off to a good start with Bynum & Farmar stepping up big this season.I'm not going to get caught up in thehype that I've been hearing from the media and some Laker fans on here stuff like "Laker are a elite team now" or Andrew Bynum is already anyallstar center.

I'm going to hold off to see how this team does after this upcoming killer 9 game road trip that starts at the end of this month and also see how this teamdoes after the all star break.

Kobe said he's happy with the team right now...
The only thing bad about that Kidd trade is that it leaves us with too many backcourt players andnot enough big men. How are we going to find playing time for Kidd, Fisher, and Farmar? Both Fisher and Farmar are doing very well this season.

 

[xx fr3sh23 xx]

they need a carlos boozer type of player

 

[CP1708]

We need to keep a count of games we let get away. I'd say the Bucks game, and the Nets game count as the first two that really really hurt us. You couldprobably add opening night, but the Rockets led almost the whole second half so that's a pretty legit loss.

We need every single win you can get in a season, we can't be giving any away like we've done twice in a week.

"I can force the issue and go off for 40 or 50, but that's not beneficial to the team. You've just got to stick to the flow of the game," he said. "I had some easy shots, they just didn't fall for me."
Nice to hear this from Kobe...hopefully he stays this way the whole year

On another note, has any team had a harder schedule than us to start the season? I mean the Timberwolves are the only "easy" game we've played.Houston x2, Phoenix, Utah, San Antonio, Detroit, New Orleans

Glad to seeus 5-3 after this stretch.

 

[lamarownsem]

Nazr Mohammed is out there...Chris mihm is trash. Maybe we pick him up if possible.



Mohammed isn't any better. His post game against us a few weeks ago was horrendous.

 

[zdiddy5]

lakers got a tough stretch comin, but im stoked to see them matchup with the spurs, we'll see what theyre really about.

 

[tupac003]

I am glad Turiaf is taking that 19 ft jumper he knows he can make. Everybody just seems more confident. Its great.

Team Lakers1949, 1950, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1972, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002...​

This season will shape the future of this franchise..​

- Kobe's 2 impossible three point buzzer beaters against the Blazers at the end of the reg. 03-04 season.
- Nick Van Exel, E. Jones, Kobe, Shaq all voted in as All-stars during the 1998 season.
- Iverson's cross up on Tyrone Lue during the 2001 finals.
any Lakers vs Portland match ups.

Odom said Celtics forward James Posey "came under me" seconds before he hit Allen. Odom added that he wasn't angry about the suspension, and he would take the punishment. "I didn't hurt the guy," Odom said. "Of course, I wouldn't want to lose by 20 at home. [There] was a play before that where I thought Posey came up under me. I didn't try to overreact, but Ray Allen was there, he had the ball, and I wanted to foul him hard." Boston Globe
I wouldnt doubt it. James Posey is a dirty player and a cheap shot artist.

Anyway, glad my boy JC got a chance last friday

Hopefully, he buildsoff this and gives us another option off the bench.

 

[la laker devotee]

This whole team is sucking really bad right now, Kobe has leg issues, Lamar has head issues and Andrew has foul issues.

I just hope they keep working hard and not cave into the pressure to soon ala 2006/07!!

 

[pianoman52]

noooooooooooooooo

 

[in the line for viis]

Damn, 8 weeks MINIMUM?! He's 20 years old, I hope his body is good enough to recover quick. Are there any instances of players coming back sooner thanexpected?

 

[tupac003]

KLAC 570 is reporting that magic johnson is saying the kidd deal is going to happen with lamar staying........

Lets see what happens.

 

[slow motion g35]

those quad, ham, groin injuries linger very long...trust me had quad tear on both legs and they last a year if you keep playing on it, in my case long jumpingwith it....hope its not a tear....but if so...say good bye to mobility

 

[i nasmatic i]

And now it seems Bryant is accompanied by the pieces to get him in position. Perhaps this will all change if they have an early playoff disappointment again. Though the Lakers seem to see there are possibilities, the word is they are trying to interest teams in Kwame Brown's expiring contract to add a good piece. If the Lakers can do that, it could be very interesting come spring, and perhaps the most surprising ending to all that Bryant trade talk.

Los Angeles Lakers: Well, they have a back-up point guard, so the pressing need is to resist the urge to deal Kwame Brown's valuable and expiring contract unless a real player is offered in return.

 

[coretraining85]

Great win yesterday but lets not get to excited. Take it one game at a time. Bynum showed some brilliance and quality minutes

 

[24 k b 8]

Kwame and Sasha are next to get traded....So that means less bums on the squad...We already got rid of 2 bums so why not get rid of another 2.

 

[frenchblue23]

As much as I want to forget Sunday's game, I was watching this video, and it was hilarious...

Player reactions to the short shorts, has anyone seen the vid?
