Uh... Shaq was never a Heat... he played on the Magic didn't he?

Uh, that was from Steve Nash

He was drafted by the Suns in 96

 

[Bowser]

Don't forget:

PS: Darien, he means Nash

Damn do I suck...this GIMP thingamajig is hard to use :/

 

[Fifty]

Its new jersey day!

He's back Toronto! But now he has more then a 10 day contract!

Hah! Funny how we let our 10 days slip away. Arroyo (another failed Raptor project) just signed an extension in Utah as well.

supposedly Gary Payton was interviewed during the ESPY's tonight and was estatic about himself (and Karl) coming BACK to the Lakers next season!?! WTF?!? I thought he wanted out?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (About Payton) If he does decide to stay, maybe they can trade his punk ass.

 

[bishoptl]

Didn't he get banned for six months because he mentioned MJ in the Finals thread after Bish said something like, "Try me and we'll see ya this Christmas"? Sad, too, cause I would've loved to hear what he had to say on this crazy offseason.

Yeah. Don't fuck with my internet powers! *grabs crotch*

Loki's ban was just lifted - this Lakers debacle wouldn't be the same without his commentary.

You hear that, Loki? Shaquille saved your ass from sitting on the sidelines until December!

True...but you have to think, what could have possibly happened between last week (when the Shaq/trade news first went down, which initially pissed of GP) and today (when Shaq was finally sent packing) that could have changed Payton and possibly Malone's minds?

What?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

maybe he got some "inside information" about a certain shooting guard's plans to resign?

"I did not force the Lakers to do...anything against their will."

 

[VPhys]

Jim Rome is a jackass. Always has been.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He probably thought he was at the 2003 ESPY's.

Very cool...if Kobe fucks the Lakers over and goes to the Clips, this thread will go to the hall of fame (probably replacing Payton).

 

[Fifty]

I just hope Loki hasn't given up on the boards! Someone must guide him back home!

 

[effzee]

payton will stay IMO cause there is not much demand for him anywhere else and he can prolly get the most money this coming season from LA. as for malone he seems to be almost suicidal about getting a ring and i heard he might follow shaq to miami or go to san antonio. personally i think san antonio has the best chance to win the finals next season and i would sign with them if i wanted to a win a gift wrapped championship.

 

[Matlock]

He looks like the devil...

He does!

 

[Shinobi]

Henceforth, he'll forever be known as Boozerbulb!

And who the hell is gonna trade for a $4.5 million pylon that couldn't hit an open shot if he was standing in the hoop?

 

[rc213]

Maybe if we package Slava/D.Gump we can get Carter from the Raptors! lol

 

[Cloudy]

Gump just had surgery. He can't be traded cos he's on the IL (can he)?

 

[Shinobi]

Maybe if we package Slava/D.Gump we can get Carter from the Raptors! lol

Well we either get that for Vince, or Shandon Anderson.

 

[isamu]

Jim Rome is a jackass. Always has been.

LAUGHING MY FUCKING ASS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, what station and time does Jim Row come on now?

 

[rc213]

Just saw the interview where they caught up to Payton. He talked about it being a sad day and talking to Malone about the upcoming season. =\ DAMN U PAYTON!

"I don't want to talk about the discrepancy on the number of free throws attempted or that all of our post players fouled out," said Canadian head coach Jay Triano.

That just cracked me up.

Nets and Nuggets real close for a K-Mart deal. At least three future first round picks? pass.

I thought only the Rockets are stupid enough to trade 3 first round draft picks for anyone.

Kobe to decide at 3pm et...come on Clippers!

Webber was involved in two of those kinds of trades.

 

[Incognito]

Man, a lot of the posters in this thread have no business spewing their bullshit if they believe Payton is worthless. Fuck off, losers. Besides the great Magic Johnson, there hasn't been a greater PG in the league. That's a fact, now deal with it.

 

[bionic77]

So when is Loki coming back? Not that we really need him, you always know what he is going to say before he even says it, but he brought the trollishness that is missing from the thread since he got banned.

Also, predictions for wins/losses and stats for Shaq and Kobe next year. Put your money where your mouth is (this is assuming Kobe stays the Lakers, because if he doesn't he will go to prison and die of dick cancer so he will thus get zero wins and no stats).

Shaq:
51 Wins
24 ppg/ 11 rpg/ 5 ass/ 1.3 blk/ 56% ft%

Kobe:
48 Wins
31 ppg/ 6 rpg/ 6 ass/ 2 stl/

OMFG LMAO!!!!

I just saw on Fox News that "a source" claims that on the tape they have of Kobe, the cops ask him why would a girl he just met have sex with him and he starts telling the cops how it happens all the time and mention what happens on the road with him and his other Lakers teammates (they actually mentioned Shaq on the show). They also said dude started crying on the tape when they showed him a court order and told him it was more than just "questioning". They said there is nothing really incriminating on the tape but it could prove highly embarrassing...

No wonder Shaq hates Kobe lol

you a big seattle fan huh? The Payton hate has been ridiculous, and thankfully mainly from laker fanatics, and konex. He's one of the greatest ever, but there's also Isiah, Marivich, Cousey, Lenny Wilkens, Stockton (hate him)...

Yeah Magic was maybe the greatest point ever..... but there has been other great PGs like levious is saying... as much as I hate Stockton.... his stats are mindblowing... Also Payton in his Sup days was also crazy.... And these days players like Kidd and Davis have filled the role quite nicely......

That is expected in the NBA, but Shaq at least usually has pretty good taste from what I have heard. And Kobe was crying on the tape? Haha, cue the pics of 2003 WCF.

 

[Mustang]

Stockton was a superb player though I think Magic was just a bit more rounded player.

He had tons of triple doubles.

 

[Bat]

Greatest PG ever are Magic, Isiah, Stockton, Cousy, and Kidd, in that order.

The list is right... but I'd have to say Magic, Stockton, Kidd, Isiah, Cousy....

 

[rc213]

Did any of u actually catch any of the Lakers playoffs games? Didnt notice " The Mittens" pout fest's he was puttin on while sitting on the bench. PLZ! Sure he was and maybe still can be a good pg but his attitude is what makes him deserving of every drop of hate he has received.

 

[bionic77]

I didn't care about GP's bad attitude or selfishness, I mean Kobe and Shaq are as guilty or more then GP when it comes to having a bad attitude. What pissed me off about GP was how easily he just gave up on both defense and offense when things weren't going his way. Sadly, Malone was the only Laker who never gave up, he was never clutch but you can't question his heart. The team folded up mighty quick as soon as Malone got injured.

He might even become a sonic... *sneaks back to tag thread*

I could care less which team he goes to if it isn't the Lakers. He is officially the worst person in history if he makes the Lakers lose Shaq, Phil, and THEN leaves.

IF Kobe leaves then MJ > Kobe
