I will take that bet!
Also, Lakers as no lower than 5 seed. If they go any higher it will be up to Lamar, not sure if he has the desire to become a superstar, we will see if Phill can change that. Lakers will become one of the better defensive teams and will finally start running. Weakness is going to be no bench and rebounding, but no one is going to want to play us in the playoffs.
Kobe will shoot 48% for the season, averaging 28 points, 6 boards, and 7 assists a game.
Loki will renounce his ties to Jordan and will make Konex blush with his newfound love for Kobe.
I am taking any bet. Avatar, ban, tag, you name it! All the Lakers needed was a good coach and Phil will transform this team almost overnight.
:lolI bet this upcoming season Charlotte will challenge for the 8th spot in the playoffs ! If I'm wrong, I'll wear a Kobe avatar handpicked by a Fakers fan for a month! (of course, I won't be wrong).
edit: Here are my lottery picks:
1. Milwaukee - Andrew Bogut
2. Atlanta - Marvin Williams
3. Portland - Gerald Green (will be inlcuded in draft day trade)
4. New Orleans - Deron Williams
5. Charlotte - Chris Paul
6. Utah - Raymond Felton
7. Toronto - Danny Granger
8. New York - Channing Frye
9. Golden State - Joey Graham
10. Los Angeles Lakers - Andrew Bynum (will be included in draft day trade)
11. Orlando Magic - Antoine Wright
12. Los Angeles Clippers - Yaroslav Korolev*
13. Charlotte - Charlie Villanueva**
14. Minnesota - Martell Webster
Draft day trade:
Portland trades the rights to Gerald Green and Ruben Patterson to the Lakers for the rights to Andrew Bynum, Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins
*Clippers have reportedly promised to take Korolev with the 12th pick
**Bobcats have reportedly promised to take Villanueva with the 13th pick

worst. trade. ever.
If the Cavs don't get Joe Johnson or something, Lebron is gone.
Also, let me just say this about Andrew Bogut: in his scouting report, it says that he had a difficult time adjusting to the athleticism in the college game, especially on the defensive end.
Wow, from what my sources indicate, the Sonics are going to lower(Pardon the pun...)the boom on the NBA during the offseason.
Lots of big men are itching to play with Ray Allen, Luke Ridnour, and Rashard Lewis. With that, I shall therefore make my first prediction on the distant NBA season: 57 Sonics wins.
You all may now continue to debate who your lottery team will pick up in the draft. :lol :lol

Lakers are going to win by defense and they will score by movement without the ball on offense. They just need someone to bring the ball up. The Lakers didn't lose because of Atkins, they lost because they didn't have anything remotely close to a gameplan and they didn't even try to play defense. Rudy was horrible, I think I am even more in awe of Hakeem for winning with that guy. Thankfully Phil will set things back in order next year.

Hey, if Charlotte does come close to the 8th seed in the East (let's set it at actually making it as the 8th seed or being 5 games out), then I'll make some Tom Brady/Michael Jordan avatar for you to wear (and seeing as you're going to lose a lot of bets, you might as well sign yourself up for about half a year of Tom Brady/Michael Jordan
)! You on?

I am going to win all of these bets as the Lakers will have a historic rebound.
That Charlotte bet just doesn't have any appeal to me unless the Lakers are involved. How about we make a bet about which team finishes better? If I lose I have to wear some disgusting Jordan or Brady avatar for whatever time we agree on and if I win I will find something equally humiliating for you.*
*Technically that is impossible because nothing is as disgusting, humiliating, or evil as a combination Jordan/Brady avatar, but I will find the next best thing!

Who the fuck cares about ABC's ratings? This Finals shattered ratings all around the world. Stern was quite happy with the international exposure from what I understand. American fans are just too dumb to appreciate quality basketball and the best Finals in what seems like forever, unlike the rest of the world.
