magicbalala245 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Trevor Ariza’s agent emerged from a lengthy phone conversation with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak on Wednesday afternoon convinced that the team isn’t as interested in re-signing his client as it claims to be. “I had a long conversation with Mitch, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere,” agent David Lee said. “I think I’m being optimistic when I say it’s not going anywhere.” Lee said Kupchak did not make a contract offer, nor were salary parameters discussed in the ballpark of what he believes Ariza deserves. Ariza already has “several” firm offers from other teams, according to Lee, and will begin speaking with opposing coaches on Thursday. Asked if he could envision Ariza accepting a deal from another team without speaking to the Lakers again, Lee said, “Yes, we have no choice. That’s the position they’ve put us in.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 We have to sign L.O. We can't afford to give him all the money that we DON'T have. If being on a championship team is not good enough for him and his agent, they can go [expletive] themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artesticle Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Doesn't matter. Nobody will offer more than MLE, when it's all said and done, his agent will come wagging his tail back to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.K. Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Come back to Orlando! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Come back to Orlando! Orlando finally realize the talent they handed the Lakers. We basically got Ariza for nothing. Maurice Evans & Brain Cook. That trade was a steal for LA looking back in time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.K. Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Psh, I knew it would be all along. Every player I like leaves Orlando and then dominates. Courtney Lee will be the GOAT, watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hopefully. Then I can make fun of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 From what I've heard Ariza is looking to go elsewhere, I hope we can keep him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goods Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 If Ariza wants $8-9 million, that's just crazy. LA would be better of signing Artest with that type of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
