Hopefully he has a new start with us.It's not a good sign when a young player with a high draft doesn't get re-signed.

I don't like kicking someone when they're down.
Having said that...Lakers are hardly ever down. May not get these opportunities often...
Heh. Health and ego got in the way. It happens, and it cost us Andrew Bynum and a couple of picks to give it a shot. Big deal. Doesn't really hurt so bad coming from a fan of a team whose biggest accomplishment in the last 10 years is not moving to Seattle, lol.

It's funny when people make fun of kings fans for the kings sucking but it's like really? The Maloofs are coked out idiots who don't know how to run a basketball team, at least we have an excuse for sucking.

I leave Kings fans alone unless provoked, but it shocks me how many of them talk s**t.

That's genius...what are the chances we can ship Blake plus our 2014 1st for Ariza and their 2014 1st? I would do that in a heartbeat...hell, maybe they want to move Trevor so bad they'd even be willing to ship him and their 1st for Blake alone...then again, maybe that's a pipe dream...
But so far, the idea of Blake for Ariza is my favorite hypothetical Steve Blake deal. Good find, LA.
Do you not realize how valuable 2014 draft picks are?
I don't know how badly GMs are overvaluing the draft picks along with the fact that a team like Washington might actually have playoff aspirations this year...and everyone knows/thinks the Lakers will suck, so you're basically taking a bet. The bet being that the Wizards finish better than LA. While getting rid of Ariza and giving more PT to Porter and gaining a vet back-up PG for Wall...
Why not?
