Merged Thread: Payton & Malone to LA
- Thread starter AFFILIATED
- Start date
Here we go again. Glen Rice came in for a year (technicaly 2) won a championship, then bounced. Mitch Richmond, did the exact same...
Karl Malone and Payton, might do the same to...
I agree we do need need a high post power. and the mail man is the only one out there.
Instead of getting Payton, you get JASON TERRY for 1.5 - 2 million.....Sure you'll say an all star point gaurd (Payton) aint in the free agent market every year. And I agree. But on the other hand, you have a young talanted point on the rise. He might turn out to be a franchise player for the lakers.
With the rest of the dough, get a mid ranged / perimeter shooter. (which LA really lacks in)
Eric Piacowski (from the Clippers) 1 - 2 mill. This foo be shwackin.
(I know theres more players other than that)
Im not knockin on payton, dont get me wrong. But, think of the 2004 - 2005 season...thats all im sayin

Fakers LOL!
Damn this ain't happenin, Payton sellin out just so he can a campionship ring on his finger.....and he gon retire the year after?
What next, should we expect a GP album commin out too (just like Shaq, Kobe, and Iverson/Jewelz but Jewelz tight tho).
What's up with them raplete's anyways? The Lakers can buy anyone they want, so I should expect the Lakers to come out with a roster like Team USA LOL! Which makes me wonder what Iverson's, V. Carter's, and AIR Jordan's price tags are!
P.S. When are they gon re-draft Rodman back? I wanna see sum Drag Ballers on the court for a change LOL!

Thats is true, but, those teams did TRY and purchase what they could to win a title, sometimes its a money factor that deprives them of quality players, sometimes it's the players refusing to play for the team. It's not that those teams didn't "TRY" to do it, they just flat out didn't, or couldn't. Ill give it to you for coming up with those teams, I don't know a great deal about hockey so I can't speak on the Devils, but the Angels did it with close to nobody.
Regardless how long they play, the Lakers will always be title bound, so if and when they do leave, there will be other players waiting to jump ship. Kobe doesn't NEED Payton and Malone, he just needs SOMEONE other then his center to step it up a notch, in this case it just so happens to be 2 superstars that get to do the job. Kobe will hardley be in the shadows my friend, he will still make the All-Star team and he will still lead the team in scoring amongst other catagories. I don't see him averaging more then 25 a game though.
Just watch, wait, and see. I believe it is VERY possible.
Did the Rockets also have the most dominant center in history, and the best 2 in the game, no. Just think about this, they will have 4 All-Star starters on their squad, its a little different. I got money that says otherwise. If you got PayPal, let me know, we can do this.
Good call on Jason Terry. Personally, if we could sign him to a multi-year contract, I think I would rather have him then Payton. You have to remember though, Jason Terry had a solid year last season, so he can and will get more then the Lakers will offer him. Why? Because Jason Terry is not title hungry right now, he is money hungry, just like most players are in there first 5+ years of playing in the NBA. Malone and Payton just want a ring, they have played their entire careers in and out of the playoffs stacking chips, so it changes as time progresses. Im sure we could afford Terry this year, but he will want more and more in the process of evolving into a franchise guard for the Lakers.
