Shaq is in Miami and Kobe staying on the lakers

[Pyron]

i'd never think that shaq would end up a heat. kobe i thought he'd be gone..
since i'm canadian and from toronto i sorta wanted steve nash to be a raptor to help vince's decision on staying hurrr. skip is a raptor again..

carlos boozer is a jazz now...who doesn't want to play with lebron? i guess not him
okur is a jazz too


kenyon martin gonna be a nugget? miller, nene, berry, martin and CARMELO...that's a nice 5 right thurr


stackhouse and lattener to dallas...jamison to washington? i think dallas is gonna suck without him

a big one...mcgrady for francis? mcgrady and yao ming...i wonder how that's gonna workout


anyways...what do you guys think or expect/want to happen?

[Zoels]

i just hope the lakers will have an ok season thats fun to watch. i was never a big shaq fan anyways, so i dont care all that much that he left. as long as kobe doesnt leave im fine.

[Pyron]

freal...kobe is the best guard in the league and is the jordan of this era for now...
no one will ever be better than jordan!
and i liked shaq when he was slimmer...he had better moves

lol, the lakers got robbed.

yeah i know the only good player they have for now that they got is lamar odom. shaq gone, malone probably gonna retire, fisher gone and everyone else isn't that great on their team...i'm still a raptor fan but if detroit re-signs rasheed and sign antonio mcdyess i'm cheering for detroit again....detroit what?

[SK]

hmm, first i would like to say that the Lakers suck.
ok now that thats out of the way, Kobe is not that great, he is good, but not great, Kobe proved in these Finals that he is not the next MJ and will never be as good as MJ. when did MJ ever have 0 points in a half in the playoffs/finals never. Kobe has that inconsisty, now Shaq, i dont like the guy, but cmon he is the most dominant player in the league, to take Kobe over Shaq was retarted, without each other neither will have another championship. now with boozer, no one sure what happened there, he said he would resign, and then he went with utah, and his agent dropped him, hmm... now k-mart with mello, i like that, still sucks how mello was robbed of the rookie of the year award, theyre definatley even more a contender now.

Sharingan-Kakashi called it right Shaq is the most dominant player in NBA,you will see why when he makes Miami a great team[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

If Kobe had 10% of MJ skills Lakers would beat Pistons but Kobe isnt that good and thats why Lakers lost it wasnt Shaqs fualt cuase he did his 25-30 points per game.

I didnt have a fav team in NBA cause the NBA didnt air in this country until this year. My fav team is Pistons cause theirs teamwork,great defense and my fav center in NBA the monster who is called Ben.Wallace. Im looking forward watching the Pistons in the next season if they get one or two good bench players they will kill destroy the rest of the NBA.

I think kobe should of left, I mean almost all of the other good players are gone including the coach, I guess kobe wants to stay on his team before he goes to jail

it's always nice to jump on the bandwagon.

[PSJ]

does jordan still play for washington?

[Knives122]

No he retired like 2 yrs ago

[kupalmaru]

Alot of team try to sign Kobe even though his future is uncertain; he could go to jail or not.

I think if the Raptors eight pick is not a bust we could be in the playof next year.


I heard that K-mart is a good defender

But is he the type off player that is not quick enough to be a small forward and out of position to be a powerforward.

Im saying this because I read somewhere that Martin is only in good at battling regular power forward but when it come to big time forward(like Duncan, Garnett and those physically tough forward) Martin is having a hardtime.

Like Vanhorn who can play both 3 and 4 but cannot compete against player who is natural at that posithion. Sometimes he is to slow at 3 or not physically tough to handle the beating at the 4 position.

IMO it was funny as hell when everyone before the finals was all on tje Kobe bandwagon and sayin he is the next Jordan then they got swept in the finals, friggin 0 points in first half of game 3 what a joke. so who do the lakers have besides kobe? guess gary payton the has been who played and didnt do jack. lakers are a play off team but not a finals team, heat are not a finals team either, but shaq alone can take them to the play offs. in the east pistons and pacers are still the best, west t wolves spurs, mavericks would have been unbeatable if they had landed shaq, too bad...

[AkimichiChouji]

Shaq is too old and kobe likes to touch women
end of story

[Himura_san]

Well I am in Houston so it should be interesting to see the
Mcgrady/Ming pairup.
Also I don't like Shaq, he sounds like a moron whenever he speaks
but I think he will definitely make the Heat better on top of that
I hear they may get a quality forward from fee agency as well.

The team that I am looking forward to besides Houston is San Antonio.
I think they got stronger and also Detroit got Wallace back and signed
Mcdysse.
It should be an interesting season for the NBA coming up.
But what I am looking forward to is Football Season!!
Dolphins!!!

oh lol, is that his second or third retirement? dont know much about him exept that he retired once around 97 and started playing again...

[Knives122]

i think this is his 2nd

[Mut]

i think jordan retired 3 times... one for the minor league basball, another after his 98(?) championship and then the last one was with the wizards.

Shaq is gonna be paired up with Dewayne Wade, who could've been Rookie of the Year any year that 'Bron and 'Melo werent in there. Kid's got game!

Mike Kupchack's problem was letting the media know that the Laker's wanted Kobe, and basically is letting him run the team, with Shaq and Phil gone.
The Lakers did do good in getting quality players (Butler, Odom, and Grant), and Divac might come back.

To me, the tides have turned here. LAL now looks like a Eastern Conference team, with guard play and nothing else, while Miami looks Western with Shaq and Wade.

Watch out for Denver next year. 'Melo and Martin are gonna kick some ass! Anthony Miller is exactly what that team needs in the situation they are in, with 2 big players like that.
