Some outsiders, and insiders including Magic Johnson, think the Lakers need a major overhaul. The team is not getting any younger, it lacks athleticism, and the Lakers sent away too many shooters the last couple of seasons. A buzz is starting out there that the trade rumors of earlier this year might resurface and that they might just try to pick the Clippers pockets and make them an offer they can't refuse for Blake Griffin. What better way to jump start the team. But who would the Lakers offer? And who could they offer that the Clippers might accept? Would they accept a package that even included Kobe? Well Kobe is not on the block and even if they wanted to they couldn't trade him. I'm sure he has a no trade clause. It could be that they would like to offer a package that included Pau Gasol, Ron Artest and and throw in like Shannon Brown. Gasol and Artest are probably considered expendable at this point. Fish and Steve Blake are untradeable. Kobe isn't going anywhwere. And you can't trade Andrew Bynum to a team that already has to starting centers. The only other guy available is Lamar Odom. The biggest problem is that the salaries don't match. Blake Griffin doesn't make very much. So you can't match up the money unless you include a player that has a decent size contract like Kaman or maybe Mo Williams and another player. As much as the Lakers are probably willing, they just don't have the right pieces to pull it off. If I were the Clippers I wouldn't trade Blake for Kobe, much less they other stiffs that they have. The Lakers might want to blow it up, but they need another sucker. I say they Lakers have no chance. What do you say?

Well deserved. Grats!

A'ight, and who in the world is better than him??

About time. Gasol is killing the Lakers this season. This team is much better without him. Kuptchak has to trade him now!!

Thanks! Now I see this topic might be in the wrong section. Mods, feel free to move it if necessary.

Talkin' 'bout the 'big three' Boston? Or all-time?

1. Biggest disappointment in the offseason? 2. Did you expect the Grizzlies to eliminate the no. 1 one seeded Spurs? (honestly) 3. Favorite song these days? 4. How far will the Bulls go in the '11 'offs? 5. What will happen on December 21st 2012 (World's end for real?) 6. Brazilian chicks or Jamaican chicks? 7. Favorite Clipper other than Blake Griffin? 8. Why are women such bad drivers? 9. How many days can you go without eating meat? 10. Does the 'Gette-lac need space 2 roam?!

Yeah, come to think about, I forgot about their '7-year drought' in the CL. I just expected them to fair better in the Spanish league with Adebayor and their other offseason acquisitions (incl. coach José Mourinho). What a disappointment... <_<

What is 'Sun Tzu'??

LOL Owned just like in Game 1!!! Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if his Twitter wasn't hacked and that was his own comment.

Real is done. After losing to Barça at home in the Champions league, they lost to Zaragoza 2-3 at home. That's like their 4th home loss to teams not named Barcelona this season. I can't remember a worse Real Madrid season.

Been Shaliq ever since I joined OTR on Feb. 13th 2006.

I'm surprised Pop didn't step out... I'd fire him if I were the Spurs GM!
