ang matagal ng gusto ng lakers, nakuha na rin nila. last year pa nila gustong makuha itong si artest

goodbye ariza
si odom na lang ang ppproblemahin nila ngayon

. . .big boost para sa akin ang pagpunta ni Artest sa Lakers although kawalan din si Ariza sa kanila. Sana magwork-out 'tong pag-sign kay Artest. ^^

with the way the celtics are courting sheed, i won't be surprised if he ends up with them for 09-10...

Loaded na talaga ang Lakers... Kobe, Pau, Bynum, Odom (more likely babalk sya sa Lakers) tapos ngayon si Artest pa... Kulang na lang ng isang malakas na PG parang all-star team na din ang dating nila ahh... Clearly, sila na ang favorite to win it all this season...

Si Ariza target din sana ng Cavs pero wala na din... Nakakapanghinayang... 5 yrs 33M contract naman yun eh... Mahirap din tanggihan...

Tingin ko, nahihirapan magsign ng FA ang Cavs ngayon kasi ayaw nilang magcommit ng long term na salary sa isang player... Tatlo na ang napalampas nila... Una si CV31, tapos Artest at Ariza naman... Ariza, Artest para sa MLE lang pero si Ariza 5 yrs for 33M, si Artest for 3 yrs naman daw... Si CV31, 35M for 5 yrs pero tingin ko ang start ng salary nya this season nasa 6M lang kasi every year tataas yan eh...

Ayaw kasing masira ng Cavs ang flexibility nila para sa next offseason... Kakailanganin nila ang lahat ng salary cap nila para i-sign ulit si Lebron saka hopefully makakuha ng top-tier na player ulit...

Unti-unti silang nauubusan ng options this season... Anthony Parker naman daw ang sunod na tinatarget nila... Tapos si Marion din... Ok din sana si Marion, may tira din kasi sa labas eh... Pero I doubt kung makuha sya ng Cavs... Si Dan Fegan ba naman ang agent nya... Hirap mag-negotiate sa taong yun...

-----

yan ang hirap sa cavs puro sila target ng mga player eh d naman nila agad inaasikaso kaya nauunahan sila ng iba! tama si pareng jay isang outside shooter na lang kahit hindi star player basta may outside touch tatalunin na ng cavs ang magic next season!

-----

Thanks for the siggy sir Wenong

sana nga matuloy na "sheed to Cs" na yan..

but if they willing to trade sugar ray and rondo, dapat e maghanap na din sila ng dependable na PG at SG...

"Gonna cry, are you gonna cry?" -Jecht in FF Dissidia

Isang shooter sa 4 spot ang kailangan ng Cavs... Kahit hindi big name basta efficient sana maglaro... Kaya nga mas malaki ang hinayang ko na hindi nakuha ng Cavs si CV31 kumpara sa hindi nila nakuha si Artest or Ariza...

Hindi naman sa hindi nagttry magsign ang front office ng Cavs sa mga FA... Kahapon nga parehong kinausap ng Cavs sina Ariza saka si Artest at personal pa talaga pinuntahan ni Lebron si Artest pero mas gusto lang talaga nya sa LA...

Tingin ko si Sheed mapupunta na sa Celtics yan... Seryoso ang ginagawang recruitment sa kanya eh...

Seriously, I don't know what to say. I love TA, specially what he did for Lakers this season. I'm gonna miss him for sure. But Ron is capable of doing everything that we got from TA and plus more. I'm little worry about Ron's attitude but feeling better that Phil and Kobe can control it. Welcome Ron. Sorry but wish you all the best TA, that is if this deal is DONE already.

With Ron taking the SF spot, we finally have a legitimate STOPPER against superstars. The one big advantage that Artest brings is giving the Lakers a better defensive match up against the bigger, more physical small forwards such as LeBron, Melo, and Pierce, who have been difficult covers for Ariza due to their size and physicality. And he is a stronger rebounder than Ariza, which should help us dominate the boards even more. Not to mention Andrew is patrolling the paint already along with Gasol, wow, this ballclub is going to be a BEAST, defensively. Insaanee!

Now let’s sign Lamar and Shannon. Good job, Mitch. ALL Props TO YOU!!!

-----

i think the cavs will have the cap space they need for next season... isn't it the last year of shaq's 20M contract...? that means another 20M cap space for the cavs next year...

-----

IMO kung so D.Cook or James Jones..ay makuha ng cavs eh magiging magandang addition sila sa team..shooters na may katangkaran..but i still hope sheed sa cavs..or antawn jamison..2 big players na all around!but mas prefer ko si jamison!haiz c'mon danny ferry!

Timberwolves' draft pick Ricky Rubio reportedly will stay in Spain for two years

"The Minnesota Timberwolves' top draft pick, Ricky Rubio, 18, will remain in Spain to play for his DKV Joventut basketball team for the remaining two years of his contract rather than try to move to the NBA this season, El Periodico reported today. The Barcelona newspaper also says Rubio, who was paid $97,000 last season, plans to withdraw his contract lawsuit against DKV Joventut."

lets not forget the vets who played great last season..for the 1st time in his career grant hill played 82 games..imagine that..for sure hindi na maghahangad si hill ng malaking sahod his focus now is to get atleast 1ring before he says its over...imo..he's a good complementary player sa cavs..para lumalim ang bench nila..though i doubt interested sa kanya ang cavs...another good underrated player is brandon bass!sana may negotiations between him and the cavs organization!

### auto-merged ###

on rubio..IMO may ere na kagad ang batang to..di dapat ganun ang inaasal niya na ayaw niya maglaro sa team na nagdraft sa kanya..imo overrated lang siya eh..im not a hater..

@Freakyjayjay

I would like to see Jamison in a Cavs uniform as well.
Pero ang problema hindi sya FA, so para makuha sya via trade dapat.
Sadly, wala na trade chips ang Cavs kaya tingin ko out na din si Jamison or other names via trade.
Pero who knows, baka willing sila bitawan ang isa sa mga guys nila diba.

IMO, Brandon Bass will stay in Dallas provided he will be compensated fairly.
Imagine parang 800k lang yta sweldo nya tapos si Damp 10M!
Eh ang kupad kupad ni Damp! hehe

Regarding Grant Hill, reports came out that he might go to the Celtics.
Lalo na pag napunta dun si Sheed.
Imagine Grant Hill and Sheed coming off the bench for the Celtics!
Mukang matibay na bench na yun good for 10-15mins per game din si Hill na magbibigay ng solid numbers.
Considering si Eddie House will be back.
Tapos si Powe will be healthy na ulet.
The C's will surely give the Cavs and the Magis a run for their money.

-----

what a development in LAKERS TEAM although laking kawalan talaga ni ARIZA but well compensated naman sa pagdating ni Artest

-----

Jamison, James Jones, D. Cook, under contract lahat ng yan kaya malabo na makuha ng Cavs kahit isa dyan... Saka sabi nga ni pareng myk, wala ng gaanong trade assets ang Cavs... Although pwede pa din nila magamit si Varejao para sa sign and trade... Saka meron pa silang 11M expiring contract kay Z... Meron pa silang mga moves na pwedeng gawin...

Si Bass pwede nga sa Cavs... Although di ko sya masyadong gusto ko undersized sya sa PF... Pwede din sa kanila si Channing Frye... Medyo may tira din kasi to sa perimeter... Di lang masyadong nabibigyan ng magandang playing time sa Portland... Basta sana makakuha muna ang Cavs ng isang shooter na PF... Yun ang mas kailangan nila ngayon...
