And say what you want about the Lakers, but how many other sports franchises garner this sort of respect and admiration?

Wealthy donors to pay $850K of the LA Lakers' parade costs

I grabbed my championship hat and shirt today... the hats are real nice. I like the fitted ones. and the grey shirts are nice. I hated the white championship shirts.

Who do you give priority to re-sign between Ariza and Odom?

-9fA

Sign them both and pay the tax. If we have to pick just one, I say Ariza because he's younger.

I say its a win-win, as long as we sign one.

Ariza-Great energy, replaced Turiaf as that random burst of life we needed, but with muchhh more production and still young. Good atheltic perimeter defenders with a decent three point shot aren't thatttt hard to find, so he is more expendable.

Odom- New leader of the second unit, and is gonna help while Bynum still comes back from knee injury because he does make our best 5 on the floor. Rebounds, but is a terrible on ball defender and is too incosistent. you cant find his athleticism/size, but hes getting old.

I prefer Ariza, but i loved Odom in these playoffs.
