RONNY TURIAF TO SIGN WITH THE WARRIORS?

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Great guy but at the end of the day is all about what you do on the court...he disappeared in the playoffs...1.4 RPG....2 PPG....his rebounding has always been weak, his post game is not that good....he's not worth all that money...hopefully we bring in kurt thomas

He was never really given a great opportunity in the playoffs...but yea, I also think $17 mill is a bit much. I don't see how anyone can blame him for taking it, though. Anyone who says they'd take $1 million with 1 season guaranteed over $17 million with 4 seasons guaranteed is joking themselves.



I don't want Kurt Thomas, either...i want Kwame as our back-up.

I liked dude but he wasn't producing. I loved his hustle / energy but I want a tough big man that can snatch rebounds and play physical D.

One more proof  professional sports is only about money ... the Lakers paid for his heart surgery and did a lot for him ..

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure insurance paid for his heart surgery. And quit acting so fuckin disgusted. Are you telling me you would take 1 million instead of 16 million? And don't act like playing time wasn't a factor. When was he gonna play with Bynum coming back?

[Turf Hitta]

fuckin sucks...homie hustled on the court. i enjoyed watching him mix it up in the middle. GS have money to just throw around like that?

Yea...they missed out on Brand and settled for Maggette for much less. They'll probably sign a couple more role players before it's all said and done.

lol theyre gonna have to. even after these last 2 signings i think they only have like 8 players under contract.

cant hate on dude for getting his money...plus like its been said he will no doubt get significant playing time rather than garbage time with LA

Actually, the Lakers did pay for it and gave him a chance when no other team would...still, I don't think anyone in their right mind would turn down a 4 year guarntee, and above all, $16 million dollars more.

C'mon man, Turiaf is about to sign the contract of his life with GSW. You can't turn down $ 16 mlns. He wasn't as rich as Baron Davis, Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, etc.. (other people who only moved for the money, this summer), so you can't really blame him. I'm disappointed tho'. I mean i was still expecting him to turn the GSW offer down to become the real fan fav in the Staples, but that was in my dreams. People in real life don't trow $ 16 mlns in the toilet. He chosed the money. It's still good, we will survive.

what's he supposed to do?  he's got no choice but to accept the GS offer

he could have career ending injury next year, you never know

at least he'd be set for life instead of getting chump change

[Bch]

thats all that they are offering the machine??? 2.6?? homies gonna cash it in with another team stupid enough to offer him 5 mill a season

[OchoCinco]

ye lakers were loballin him ...im glad turiaf is gettin good money

Lakers can match anything Sasha gets offered...If it comes down to it, I think they'll match any offer under 6 mill per season. Posey is on our radar as well, but I'd rather keep Sasha.

He didn't really get a great chance to prove himself in the postseason, but that's a lot of money for a hustle guy, but look what Brian Cardinal got paid. I think part of it is that his intensity is always so high, and once everyone turned it up in the postseason, his hustle didn't really stand out as much. Either way, a good guy to have on a team.
