Good on Phil for coming back! Now that worry is out of the way for the Lakers, time to get going on improving their list!
Phil only wins them in 3's.....one more to go....then retire!!!
Can you believe Phil has only been Coach of the Year once??[/QUOTE]
Hard to believe! Love to see them threepeat!
Hope they pick up a gun pg now. Nothing wrong with Fish, but would love to see an allstar calibre pg in the backcourt with Kobe eg. CP3
The signs were all there yesterday - Brian Shaw withdrawing from Cavs job and Byron Scott getting involved...clearly as a result of Phil deciding to stay.
Other rumours now include using Odom and maybe Sasha in a trade for Okafor (and his huge 4 yr $52m contract) and Collison. That would be the trade to chase IMO...Okafor provides back up to Bynum and Gasol, and Collison becomes the starting PG we need post Phil. Gives us nightmares down the track with silly $$ owing to Bynum and Okafor in a couple of years, but by that time we will be too busy shining the trophies to care!
Other talk involves CP3, but that relies on the Lakers doing a C's 'sell the farm' style, which is not the best option. From what I saw last year, if I was Mitch I would target Collison in a huge way.
LA have offered Mike MIller 30MIL over 5 Years and his camp have been told by the Lakers Front Office that he has till the days end to either agree or decline......Interesting.....But they do need to sign another PG

Interesting news, but still would have prefered they chased Colison tho. Either way interesting to see who starts. Whats the go with JFarm? Expired contract or just being shopped around? Also any more news on the possible Odom or Bynum and someone else for Bosh?
You mean like this:Good on Fish for re-signing with the Lakers, just wouldn't look right in any other jersey!
Well looks like D Fish is back, I think it's longer term, 3 years and Farmar is off to NJ to start ahead of D Harris.
Jokes aside, I wish him the best. Won't miss his 'I can't do no wrong' attitude but still kinda sad being a PC player.
With Fish on board I don't think there's much more we can do with the FA market, Barnes and Bell look like they'll be hard to sign but the T Mac rumors/requests are still floating about, even though Lakers management nor McGrady himself have mentioned anything about negotiations.
With Brown most likely gone I'd love to see McGrady come to LA, for that reason alone. If we can get him cheap he either bounces back from injury like Grant Hill has or at the very worst he rides us all the way to the championship. With limited options I think it's worth the risk.
yeah i hope raja bell comes onboard, imaging that defensive line up against the heat... Raja on Wade, Artest on Lebron, Bynum (or gasol) on Bosh and then kobe to roam and help out on D agains the guards, not scared of mario chalmers... I'd actually prefer Raja over Tmac... although i wouldn't mind Tmac with scoring off the bench with odom
Good luck to Farmar!!!The thing i dont understand is he is going to New Jersey were Devin Harris is starting PG so is that there starting Back court???Farmar and HArris???
Blake is a valueable pick up and is an up grade on farmar!!!Be nice to see them pick up another signing.....Kobe and Raja Bell are meeting to discuss Bell signing with LA....Also with Q-Rich signing with Orlando there is a very slight chance of Barnes also coming on board......
