Lakers are only on the hook for 8, which doesn't matter anyway, as they still have around 20 million in cap space still.

And it doesn't matter even more, as his ass will be gone next summer, along with Nash, and tens of millions of cap space again.

He'll impress and you guys will re-sign him and then he'll get hurt.

how's Nash doing lately?

There are rumors that Pau Gasol could go to the Thunder or the Spurs via a sign and trade for a young player and an expiring contract. Don't know what the Spurs would offer, but I hear Kendrick Perkins and Jeremy Lamb for Gasol.

And in other, more important news, I think I've fallen in love with Josina Anderson

You better be giving us some first round draft picks to take on that joke of a player

Oh, thank god his contract expires next year, or I would have had a stroke

how's Nash doing lately?

Collecting his 10 million dollar paycheck and not playing.

Could be worse.

Could be worse.

If you are a Laker fan, that's pretty bad. Especially since he is untradeable at this point. Thank god his contract expires after this season

 

[ALC]

Martin is right, it could be worse. He could be Kobe where he earns 30 million and doesn't play.

You guys got greedy, wanted one of our good picks.

 

[KB824]

Martin is right, it could be worse. He could be Kobe where he earns 30 million and doesn't play.

Kobe got injured because he was trying to come back too soon from his achilles.

Nash is different because his contract got vested once his buddy D'Antoni did him a solid and played him in just enough games to qualify.

Big difference.


And Kobe, for all his faults has earned that money far more than Steve Nash could EVER hope to.

He could hang with Iaquinta.

I meant for him.

Exactly why I was looking forward to Lin.

I know, was just teasing


The Rockets to win the West imo. Or maybe not, a lot of competition over there now.

A 1st rounder plus "future draft considerations".

A 1st rounder plus "future draft considerations".

I'm just wondering what 1st round pick it is.


See, the thing is, I want the Lakers to suck badly again this year, because their pick that is supposed to go to Phoenix is Top 5 protected this year.

I meant for him.

Well, if you were getting paid 10 million knowing that nothing is expected of you, how would you feel?

Did you know that noone has asked me that question before? I'll have to sleep on it.

It's next year's pick. It's not the Pelicans pick, which we don't even really have yet.

This wasn't just about Basketball.


This was about his attachment to where he is from. This is about trying to right the wrong. This meant more to him than basketball. This meant returning home

Yes. Because as I said before when we were having discussions, Lebron doesn't need LA or NY. He's too massive to be dependent on markets. The only thing he needs is winning and his home can offer him that for a long, long time.
