[Los Angeles]

So this is Tony Gaffney ... and I see a lot of things wrong in this picture, probably could explain why he's getting cut.

 

[kb8sandiego]

SMH at me for missing the draft.

What a homer, dude us from Massachusetts.

I like this dude's defensive intensity. He tries.

Every single one of these dudes mention Ron Artest.

This better work.

[h2]Expert predictions: Los Angeles Lakers[/h2]

Comment Email Print Share
ESPN.com

[h3]Predicted Finish For Los Angeles Lakers: 2009-10[/h3]

	[h3]J.A. Adande, ESPN.com | Adande's picks[/h3]Next parallel MJ challenge for Kobe Bryant: Keep the Lakers focused with the Rodmanesque Ron Artest around. If Kobe's will prevents the Lakers from becoming reality-show fodder, it's another title on the way for Los Angeles.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]Jon Barry, ESPN | Barry's picks[/h3]This team is better with Ron Artest. That was a brilliant move by Mitch Kupchak. They improve defensively and get a guy who can score 25-30 points on a night when Kobe might be off. Offensively they are as good as any team in the league.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]Chris Broussard, ESPN The Mag | Broussard's picks[/h3]They were already a top-4 offensive team. Now with Ron-Ron, they'll be top-4 on the other end too. Yeah, they took a risk, but the rewards could be devastating -- for opponents. Also, look for bigger and better things from Andrew Bynum.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]Chad Ford, ESPN.com | Ford's picks[/h3]The Lakers are still the team to beat, but I think they lost something when they essentially swapped Trevor Ariza for Ron Artest. Artest provides toughness and grit, but at a huge cost of stability. Nevertheless, even if Ronnie implodes, the Lakers may still have the goods to rule the West.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]Jemele Hill, ESPN.com Page 2 | Hill's picks[/h3]L.A. checkmated everyone by adding Ron Artest and Khloe Kardashian in the same offseason. Artest's presence guarantees Kobe will be fresh for the repeat run. L.A.'s weak link Fish, who was the man in the playoffs, returns a year older and likely a step slower.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]John Hollinger, ESPN.com | Hollinger's picks[/h3]Scary thought: L.A.'s two best young players (Andrew Bynum and Jordan Farmar) gave them virtually nothing in its title run. Throw in Artest's Rottweiler D and doses of Kobe and Pau, and the only West team that can beat L.A. is L.A.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]Jalen Rose, ESPN | Rose's picks[/h3]Every player in the league will still give Kobe the ball at crunch time. Gasol is an All-NBA performer. Odom along with Artest will provide all kinds of post-up and perimeter problems on both ends of the floor. They need Bynum to dominate.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]Chris Sheridan, ESPN.com | Sheridan's picks[/h3]Strangely, IMHO, the conventional wisdom seems to be that the Artest signing will backfire on them. I see it giving them some knocks and pings, but making them far more dangerous in the postseason. Got 'em at 65-68 W's.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]Marc Stein, ESPN.com | Stein's picks[/h3]The champs are indeed this season's favorites to win it all again. Their potential is frightening if Artest blends in and Bynum can finally be a consistent force. But they'd be bigger favorites on this scorecard had they just kept Ariza.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
	[h3]David Thorpe, ESPN.com | Thorpe's picks[/h3]They are the easy pick, but I have some concerns about Artest. Will he be consumed by the media circus surrounding the team? Will he accept a well-defined role by season's end? They'll win a ton regardless, but may not be there at the end.	[h3]Pacific: 1 West: 1[/h3]​
[h3] AVERAGE RANKING Pacific: 1.0 | Standings West: 1.0 | Standings[/h3]

YOU... don't get to talk about Chauncey not being the real deal anymore. You had him pretty high on your rankings for someone you knock everytime I compliment.

 

[CP1708]

^
Naw, I didn't think I had him ranked that high, I surely had him ahead of Nash, but I didn't think he would go with my 3rd or 4th pick.

He was one of the bad moves of autopick, if I was on live, he would not be on my team. Rondo would.

But I don't diss Billups as not a good player, I diss his "legacy" of being considered clutch beyond clutch. He has hit big shots before, yes,but he doesn't do it anymore when it truly matters. That's why his teams always lose in the conference finals. He hits a big shot in the first round,or maybe the second round, but then when they reach that level were the other teams are just as elite, he goes away. Trust me on this, once the conferencefinals hit after 05-06, he stopped being able to get those clutch shots to fall.

He's had a great career, he's hit lots of clutch shots, but he hasn't hit as many as he's given credit for and what not.

 

[darthska]

I see.























Trade him to me for Farmar/Augustin.

 

[CP1708]

Ok, I need to ask this. Ya'll Laker fans think I'm dumb or something? (leave now Chester, I said Laker fans)

I have someone askin me for Monta Ellis and JRich for two of his guys, I explain that my two are a little too valuable in fantasy to get rid of, I need abetter deal, so he then offers to add Conley to the deal, but also wants Barbosa from me!!!! I'd be trading Barbosa, Monta Ellis, AND Jason Richardson, 3of the biggest gunners in the league, in two of the highest scoring offenses and he wants me to just trade those 3 guys.

Now Ska wants me to move Billups for Farmar and a DJ?

Ya'll tellin me somethin here?


Ska you want Billups, you make me an offer. A real one, I'll give you the guy. You know I make fair deals, like when we traded Terry for Odom last year.

 

[lamarownsem]

I went to the Celtics/Cavs preseason game last night at OSU and I have to say the Celtics looked scary good, even without Garnett and Allen playing. I knowit's preseason, but the Cavs pretty much had a full roster (excluding West and Powe) and Boston's defense took care of them. Orlando or Boston has tobe the favorite out of the East, not Cleveland.

Nah, I was totally kidding about Chauncey.

Just giving you hell.

I want Artest.

I've never done a fantasy league with either Artest or Kidd.

I feel naked.

now hold up CP. I originally offered u rasheed and kirilenko for monta and jrich. u countered by swapping sheed for murphy. Murphy's is soovaluable(15th overall) that i felt that maybe a lile more compensation for him was necessary. but everything I offered was fair. Now Ska's offer on theother hand...
