The Perpetual NBA Thread

Yes indeed, let the offseason begin.

Finally regaining www access.... It just like to say congrats to all the Detroit, or should i say Anti-Lakers fans lalo na yung naka Galant na Blue (you know who you are ;) ).

Second, I really like David's long post on why the lakers lost. Sad but true. More than Detroit's vaunted Defense, its their teamwork which needs work. Again, too late for pointing fingers, but one old point guard had his way and literally trashed the mighty triangle.

And lastly, at least a prediction of mine came true..... the series ended in five! hahaha! Too bad i picked the wrong champion.

But that's life boys!

phil said there's a slim chance na mag coach siya ulit sa lakers

shaq did not receive contract extension, so 2 years na lang ang contract niya.
(he can force a trade o kaya i trade siya ng lakers kasi malaking chunk sa salary cap ang mawawala sa lakers)

kobe WILL opt out on his contract.

malone is reported will opt his contract also.

payton is unlikely to stay, kasi new coach new program so no more triangle offense.

so palagay ko shaq and payton will rebuild lakertown.

sa pistons naman, youth and spending power,
si sheed lang ang free agent sa kanila.
after taht ayos pa rin kahit ilan years,
darko and yung argentina player nila mga bata pa, ben will still be a force, rip bata pa rin kahit 5 years pa

the scenario will be shift on the expansion draft of the charlotte bobcats
everyteam must only protect 8 players in their line up

pwedeng sign and trade din kay payton pero malabo na may team willing to pay him 5M per year after that display of hurrendous ball in the finals.

pahinga muna tayo hehe. twas a long gruesome season!

**theveed** · June 18th, 2004 07:33 PM

Payton will probably stay...
1) He's worth 5M+ nobody will sign him for that.
2) Jackson is gone, no more triangle.

kobe should go to knicks.

he needs a big stage for his talent. madison square garden can rival the glitz and glamor of staples center.

**Cardo818** · June 18th, 2004 08:41 PM

sabi ng Lakers GM kupchak ... he could trade Shaq if he(shaq) wanted... pero, they'll more heaven and earth to keep kobe...

sino ba mga free agent coaches ngayon sa NBA?

**kuroy** · June 19th, 2004 02:46 AM

anak ng pating si Darko Mililic...(2nd overall pick ng pistons) na injury pala noong finals game 5?

Aba eh kaunting minutes lang sa 4th quarter siya ipinasok nagkaroon pa ng hand injury...ang saklap naman!!! well na surgery lang naman siya....

**ssaloon** · June 19th, 2004 12:20 PM

UPDATE:
Jackson leaves Lakers; Shaq immmediately requests trade

McGrady tells team that he wants out of Orlando

**kimpOy** · June 19th, 2004 01:30 PM

imho i think the lakers will rebuild around kobe instead of the aging shaq.

o may news na ako agad sa inyo.
lakers put ex-rockets coach rudy tomjanovich
is on the a-list sa coach nila next season.

payton can opt out on his contract thus making him free agent, any team can haggle for his service (veteran fee 1M)
pero if i were him i will not opt out.

run and gun kobe and payton will be a sight.
