its so fucking wierd to see non-kobe/bynum/pau making shots. its like bizzaro world.

which is exactly why I dont think we should trade gasol. All we need is a better bench/PG or for our bench/pg to actually contribute. I dont mind barnes/metta sharing minutes at SF as long as barnes gets more minutes.

Sessions and Beasley(give up both 1st round picks)...don't trade any of the 3 core players and the team is better.
 
YES! RIDNOUR! I know I've been really negative for him but he's really started to turn it around a bit as we've gotten closer to the All-Star Break! (Besides that anti-clutch against Denver)
Hopefully this will help him stay confident because I know he was really upset at that missed layup last game too...
 
First of all, to the guy who said Lebron’s MVP’s were bogus, does anybody realize that, pace adjusted, Lebron averaged a triple double last year. If you adjust pace back to Oscar Robertson’s season based on team FGA for points, team FG misses for rebounds, and team FGM for assists, Lebron’s numbers are equivalent to 40.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 10.8 assists on 50.3% shooting in 39 minutes per game. Oscar’s numbers were 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists on 47.8% shooting in 44 minutes per game. Lebron’s season was incredible and his pace adjusted averages over the last 4 seasons are roughly 40 points, 10 rebounds, and 9.5 assists. Bogus MVP’s? I don’t think so.

As far as Jordan vs. Kobe, Jordan’s career averages are numbers Kobe couldn’t dream of getting in a single season, especially the field goal %. In the playoffs Jordan’s average was 33.4 points and Kobe’s highest is 32.8.

Jordan also played in the hand check era where defenders could be much more physical. He also didn’t have a large circle around the basket where he couldn’t be called for a charge. He played in an era where it was extremely hard to finish at the basket because of dominant shot blockers like Shaq, Hakeem, David Robinson, Mutumbo, Mark Eaton, Alonzo Mourning, Ewing and others.

Think about this. Based on PER Jordan’s third WORST full year as a Bull was in 92 with a PER of 27.7, 30.1 points, 6.4 rebound, 6.1 assists, 2.3 steals, .9 blocks, and only 2.5 turnovers on 52% shooting. Compare that to Kobe’s third BEST year which was in 2007 with a PER of 26.1, 31.6 points, 5.7 rebound, 5.4 assists, 1.4 steals, .5 blocks and 3.3 turnovers on 46% shooting.

You can even make an argument that Jordan was a more effective player as a rookie than Kobe was in his prime. Put another way, could Kobe ever average over 28 points on 51.5% shooting? I don’t think so. Jordan wins.

Rid has always been a great backup PG, its just too bad he hadn't been able to make those layups this and last year

EDIT: Rodeo is that Malcolm lee in your avi?
