Fuckin Antonio always deleting his shit. Scared of NIK talkin shit about Laker pride or what? I've caught you a couple of times during the last couple of days, never said much, but this shit has to stop man.

Hey man, relax! I'm just trying something different, using new colours and shit. I'm at work, lol. I gotta find something to keep my mind busy. Anyway, this is the message i've deleted. I've just re-written it in a hopefully better english.
Jesus, please come back to planet Earth, Nik! We're talking about the NBA, L.A. Lakers, starting PF spot. Kwame might have all the potential of the world in your eyes, but he ain't worth a starting job in the Lakers. Matter of fact he wasn't even worth a starting job in the Wizards, and he didn't even make the playoffs roster, in the past season. He's too raw, and being so raw in the 5th year in the league means you have no real basketball IQ. You can't be serious comparing him to O'Neal and Horry, man. Shit even grandfather Malone was better than him. Even Odom playing out of position was better than him. Don't be surprised if in a pair of weeks Phil will move Brown to the bench and Odom to the PF spot again, with George entering the starting 5. A project? Ok, he might be a project. But he should get the same minutage of our other projects, like Bynum, Wafer, Vujacic, Green, etc.. And yes, that trade was fucking horrible. I don't want to discuss about it with you no more, at least since when Kwame will deserve to be even compared to Butler. He's just another Samaki Walker, man. But the fact he got drafted higher is completely fooling you. He cant rebound (5.5 rpg in career is fucking ridiculous! Even Odom can grab the double of his rebounds!), he have no post moves, he doesnt have a mid-range jumper, he can't pass the ball (Mihm is doubling him in assists. I said Chris Mihm! And you know how important it is to share the ball playing for the triangle system), he can't stay concentrated for more than 5 consecutive minutes, he's struggling defending against quick PF's (for every good first half against Garnett there are other 7 games where he struggled, man!), he has no fucking basketball IQ, and he looks totally lost on the court. That's the reality. You're still living in a dream, man. Wake up.

Don't be all self-conscious and shit over your English, it's not that bad at all. People calling your English out are just mad at you cause you said something that pissed them off.

Hey Nik, you know Eric Pincus from Hoopsworld.com and from LakersGround.net, don't you? He's one of the most loved reporter about the Lakers, you should know him. You can't question his pride. This is what he wrote about Odom and Brown in his last article up at hoopsworld: "So far Odom doesn't seem capable of putting up enough points night in and night out to keep the defenses honest"; "Hopefully it's Brown's thumb injury that is making the ball squirt out of his hands. At this point, the Lakers aren't getting any more out of Brown than they got out of Samaki Walker". He compared him to Samaki too!! Please don't question his Laker pride too. He just wrote the fucking truth. Like i did.

--- Quote from: Lakers Run L.A & Dubcc.com Sports Section :) on November 15, 2005, 10:53:00 PM ---Here's the thing..Lamar ain't pippen (i think we all knew that) he doesn't have that pippen speed and quickness,he can't run an offence ,he can't break down the defence,,he's a post player and that roll belongs to kobe..
So what the Lakers need to do is Trade Odom & a first round pick for Marbury (he's on the trading block) and then,tell me if you agree with this..
smush Parker could move to SG and he could be like are Bruce Bowen and Doug Christie where basscily he defends the other teams best perimeter player,,,he could that he's a solid defender..smush is not even a real PG,he's not going to get alot of assist,he's basically a spot up shooter and a slasher and a guy who will dunk on you ;D
and then move kobe to the SF spot
and marbury could be that quick guy to break down a defence and get alot of assist,and he's a better scorer then Lamar..
--- End quote ---
LMAO, WTF? Since when is Kobe a post player...LOLLLLL. Anyways, Lamar is the last of our problems. He's one of the few players who have been playing their role pretty well, especially 7 games in. First 4 games, Kobe goes crazy with Lamar handeling the ball and Kobe reading the offence from the wing. Last 3 games, Lakers collapsed, the offense was virtually non-existant, Kobe went back to handeling the ball too much, Kwame is lost within the system...The kinks just need to be worked out. Trading for Marbury would be horrible. Marbury has that score-first mentality, which will not blend in with the Lakers current offense, which goes mostly through Kobe. In addition, Smush IS a point guard and that's the best position for him. Moving him to SG may stunt his development, especially having to share minutes (and the ball) with the likes of Marbury and Kobe...I don't see why you're trying to change out back-court anyways, it's the front-court that needs ALL of the attention. Kwame is struggling, but it's early. If he continues to struggle, you got Mihm, who is improving in his role, and we can give minutes to Bynum, who's currently looking a lot less raw than expected. Medvadenko, I won't even mention. Cook, well, again, he's improving and he has a nice outside shot. It's not a HORRIBLE front-court, but the Lakers could use some help. There are a few big-men out there who the Lakers can easily sign, a few of them being Shawn Kemp, Corie Blount, Dennis Rodman, and Elden Campbell, but lets give it some time before we jump the gun... ;)
