Ariza, but I think we could get both

Nah, not gonna get both, Odom may take less but Ariza is coming off a small contract and knows he can get a ton of money else where even though leaving LA would be the dumbest move of his life since he can't create for himself.

but seriously, LOL at Rip for his comments about Shaq and Gasol

Not even CC would go that far bro, c'mon now

 

[RipCity32]

I honestly don't understand what is so funny..

Kobe - Shaq = No rings
Kobe - Gasol = No rings

Kobe won titles with Shaq, and with Gasol. Not alone, which is what everyone said he couldn't do and hasn't done.

So yeah he won this one without Shaq. But if he had no Gasol he wouldn't of..

 

[Mexi]

cheato, no hard feelings.

LeBron 0
Adam Morrison 1

<3

 

[elcheato]

I forgot to say it but congrats to LA on the title.

Kobe - Shaq = No rings
Kobe - Gasol = No rings

Michael - Scottie = No rings
Olajawan - Clyde = No rings
Duncan- Robinson and Manu and TP = No rings
Magic - Kareem = No rings. He also had HoFer James Worthy
isiah - dumars = no rings
Big O - Kareem = No rings
Bird - McHale = No rings
KG - PP and Ray = No rings
look at those loaded 70's Knicks
Wilt - West = No rings

ugh, this is getting redundant.
and pretty much all those guys are HoFers. Pau has a shot, but idk

 

[The Young One]

Shaq hasnt won a ring without a superstar guard either.

Duncan won when TP and Manu were non-factors as well as David He's probably the only player to win a title on his own.

 

[Mexi]

This makes him sick TYO

 

[RipCity32]

EXACTLY!
That's my whole point.
The whole "Kobe can't get a title without Shaq" is complete nonsense. Because Kobe wouldn't of gotten another ring if he didn't have another great downlow player.

I'm not trying to bash Kobe or the Lakers really, I'm just stating the obvious.

 

[The Young One]

So we gonna just act like Rick Barry didnt basically win a ring on his own.

 

[Mexi]

or Bill Walton

and my bad Rip. I agree with you

 

[elcheato]

Shaq is going to win title #5 next year

 

[RipCity32]

It's fine Mexi lol. I wasn't very clear

 

[Mexi]

"Shannon the Cannon"
"Downtown" Shannon Brown

 

[RipCity32]

Players like Darko and Morrison shouldn't even get a ring lol.

 

[Mexi]

hell no

this is great for Morrison

now he can have himself a career. he already has a ring
