Boogaloo clarification?
Plus, another scene from that breakdancing opus. Because that's just how we roll on this blog.
As noted yesterday, the NBA world was all a-buzzin' with talk that Jermaine O'Neal was trying to push a trade to the Lakers of Los Angeles, creating appearances that he no longer wanted to play with the Pacers of Indiana. Well, not so fast, according to the big man in question. JO's saying he'd only want a trade if Indiana's looking to rebuild, a detail the media failed to point out in their reports. As for O'Neal's reported criticisms of Larry Bird in an ESPN article, the all-star's claiming it never came from his mouth, and ESPN stands by the story. They say "God is in the details," so perhaps only the Lord (or Morgan Freeman) knows for sure what was said and what wasn't. In any event, O'Neal getting dealt could create a butterfly effect of events for the Pacers, Nets and Lakers.

If You ask how did Earvin Johnson become great many will say MAGIC

If you ask how Muhammad Ali became great some will say”FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY STING LIKE A BEE”
If you ask how Willie Mays became great some will just say “SAY HEY”
If you ask how Joe Montana became great some will say “ICE WATER”
Why do I lists these people because no matter how they became great all are acknowledged
as perhaps the greatest in their sport at their position and all did Videotron congratulations
To Barry Bonds despite the protests of some. And all of them acknowledge Barry as perhaps the
Greatest at his sport. Therefore who am I to question how Barry Bonds became great? If the

SO BARRY BONDS WE SALUTE YOU FOR HOLDING BOTH THE ALLTIME HOME RUN

Rumor has it the Hick from French Lick is not happy with his franchise player for talking to the press. Must be tough to have a player shoot his mouth off like that.
I've heard he wants Walton, AB, LO which is crazy but if we could get Granger back somehow...
At the end of the day, one of these teams needs to rebuild. If it's not us, a sideways move won't work. Kobe on Kimmel could be interesting. Whatever he says will be read between the lines, around the lines, over and under the lines.

Can't we somehow try to get a decent SF using Kwame, first?
Then, we won't have to worry about shipping out LO
(As rumored before, if we can get Artest with Kwame's
expiring contract, it'd be awesome.. although it's a really really long shot)
If we succefully obtain a decent SF, then we can send both LO & Socks
for JO. The FO won't be willing to pay the luxury tax anyway.

Not to be a negative Nancy, but it's:

not :"Bugaloo" which would seem be some sort of U.K. bathroom party for insects. Actually it was a kids TV show in the 70's, but I believe you've been trying to refer to the 80's classics "Breakin'" and "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" right? IMDB is always a great help if you're trying to make movie references, might want to check that next time :)

"I've heard he wants Walton, AB, LO "
-----------
No that's wrong. Someone misquoted the Loose Cannons yesterday. What
they actually said was that the latest is that he wants CRITTENDON,
Bynum and Odom. Not Walton. Crittendon.
Which is basically the same as the offer before the draft, except with the
Kwame for Murphy part taken out, and the fact that the #19 draft pick is
now resolved into a specific player, Critter.
Posted by: Long time Laker fan | August 08, 2007 at 10:35 AM
I hope this is not taken as a loose or wild racial comment.
HOWEVER,
IF ANDREW BYNUM were WHITE.
Everyone would see him as a big stiff.
There is no magic potion in his black skin or genes.
The guy does not have overwhelming talent. He's a 7 foot 250 plus pound black kid.
That's it.
If he were white, the hoopla would be less.
Whether that is a shame or not it's true.
I think he's tricked a bunch of guys.

get oneal,
There's a SF that's available, and we wouldn't have to trade anybody.....Ruben Patterson. From what I hear Miami is starting to show interest in him, so now's the time to make an offer to him. Even if we can't get JO, I our roster will look so much better with the addition of Patterson:
Fisher-Farmar-Crittenton
Kobe-Evans-Coby Karl
Patterson-Luke-Radmanovic
LO-Turiaf-Cook
Kwame-Bynum-Mihm
More depth, veteran leadership, and better defense.

KLBeast- Did you read what one of the Falcons receivers said about playing with Vick?
Something to the effect, as a player you get caught up watching and expecting Vick to make a big play and bail you out.
Thats how I see kobe too, the rest of the team is waiting for Kobe to make the great play , and is standing around watching.
Only a few players I never see that with are Ronnie and Vladman.
Posted by: Laker Lover | August 08, 2007 at 11:31 AM

"Thats how I see kobe too, the rest of the team is waiting for Kobe to make the great play , and is standing around watching."
to kobe's credit (yes, i do have a soft spot for my best buddy), when the lakers were winning in the beginning of the season, i was very happy with the offense. i was very disappointed towards the end of the season (especailly during "kobe-ball") when we were losing and kobe took it upon himself (and with guidance from the coaching staff presumably) to dominate the game offensively.
i knew at that point that we weren't going anywhere in the playoff cuz while other playoff teams were tightening the screws on defense (dallas too), we were run-and-gun (hence, my fools gold joke). i'd rather we miss the playoffs playing the right way than getting in the wrong way....
there is nothing that irritates me more than one player playing one-on-one b-ball (except late in the game or when there's a called play) becuae, as you correctly pointed out, the other guys will stand and watch (it's a natual tendancy) and it gets guys out of a rythm offensively, and more importanlty, defensively....just my take.

just a reminder to all the true laker fans.. we have had some of the best memories in the past and the best moments have come before kobe and we are sure to have more memorable showtime moments in the future, so i say believe, just believe in the purple and gold no matter the outcome this season or next, players will come and go but the lakers will remain and the memories will live on. playoff team or not, i am a die hard laker fan and this is a perfect example, this was not a championship team but it was the BEST TEAM in basketball and most importantly it was a "TEAM", this is just one of many heartfelt laker moments

I agree. SF is the position that needs an upgrade. Not PF or the center rotation.
What about Posey? or Ime Udoka?
Ruben Patterson is an option, but he comes with a little baggage.
Linton Johnson is another kid i like.
Our current PF and C rotations are pretty solid when healthy. A defensive presence at SF will go a long ways to solidifying the team.

Thats a huge blow to the Clips losing EB, he is one of may favorite players to watch the guy works hard on every play both on offense and defense and he is a stand up guy.
In the last few years id rather watch the clips than the lake show because the Lakers offense and over-all game bores me.

Since we're giving love to the 'Breakin folks, it would be a shame to forget about the original home of Shabba Doo - the dance group The Lockers. Fred 'Rerun' Berry of 'What's Happening' fame was also a member of this influential 1970s troupe. They appeared on the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975, as well as many other TV variety shows. The art of break dancing wouldn't have evolved without them.

Not too close for comfort -
The Nets are offering Krystic, Jefferson and Collins. Pacers wants Marcus Williams tha Jason Collins. I think that's an easy switch for Thorn to accomplish compared to the Lakers deal. Therefore, we do not have the upperhand merely, one of the buyers in an auction.
http://www.hoopsworld.com/article_22983.shtml
Lakers stick with Bynum and Lamar.
We're going to be beaten again by the Nets, previous to that by Celtics on KG, and also by the Memphis on Navarro, by the Mav's on Webber. What did we get? Re-signed Walton and Mihm, that's the best Kupchak can do. Fish and Critt falling into his lap. (I think even a homeless on the skid row can make that kind of decision!)

Uh... do you have any idea who Scot Pollard is? I'd hardly call him "hard working" or an "energy guy". Pollard is an extremely mediocre if not well below average player. Mihm is a significantly better choice if he can perform at the same level that he did before being injured.

Why do you consistently ask for Ruben Patterson. You know at some point he was on the Lakers and proclaimed himself the "Kobe-stopper" and then when the Lakers had enough of his overrated defense and his non-offense he was gone...
He hasnt done anything more in Denver or Millwaukee...so why in the hell do you want him now????

What makes you think that the Lakers are worse than the Blazers??? The Blazers have no proven scorer, Oden is just a rookie, and they also dont have a proven point guard, unless you're scared of Steve Blake..or does Joel Pryzbilla get you worried???
Also, the Warriors are not going to win more games than the Lakers on their style of play. Even themself recognize this beacuse they know they can only win when the matchups favor them,
Better Rankings:
1. Spurs
2. Suns
3. Jazz

"If you hate Kobe so much, start your own blog"
Actually Chris, if you love Kobe so much, start your own blog.
"I think people would generally take your opinions a lot more seriously if you didn't bring up Kobe's rape charges everytime you posted a comment"
I very rarely bring up the rape charges and I don't hate Kobe. I'm more concerned with the Saint's disgraceful treatment of his family and other well documented words and actions, which to me, represent anything but a guide post for leadership, maturity or morality.
Even more importantly, I do not believe the Lakers are going anywhere so long as Kobe is your leader. But please, if you start taking me seriously, you are in deeper trouble than I thought.
Think about it. JO would want to leave a team that is "looking to rebuild"
to go to a team that should be looking (or will be forced in two years) to rebuild???
No wonder he woke up and recanted. Why don't many of you do the same?
WE ARE rebuilding in Sacramento. You need to oust the Saint and do the same.
