Title: The Official "We Will Miss You Ronny Turiaf" Thread.
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 19, 2008, 01:20:51 AM
Lakers didn't match and Turiaf is officially a Warrior. Dude was definitely something special and was one of my favorite Lakers to root for. Golden Stat is very lucky to have him. Peace out, Ronny. Hope you come back at the end of your contract ala Fisher.

a lotta times, the fans become disappointed when one of our players leaves us for money. this is one of those exceptions when none of us could say anything. golden state realized how lucky we were to have him and decided to throw the dude an overwhelming offer that we simply werent going to match. congrats to ronny for getting that paper, best of luck to him.

very likeable guy, very high energy guy, but very average player......sure i understand his a good guy to have around but i think the lakers did the rite thing by not matching.

he's a very good shot blocker


that will be missed as much as his energy.

of course ... I wouldn't give more than 2 millions a year for him ... BUT I'd prefer to overpay rather than Walton and Radman ...

Thank you Ronny etc..

But since our goal is to win Championships, i'd rather sign Kwame Brown (good defender. I know he sucks with the ball in his small hands, but he has a nice body and he can defend one on one against everybody), Kurt Thomas (great veteran who can defend and rebounds) & PJ Brown (great veteran with leadership and experience in the PO) with that money.

Don't get me wrong, i used to love the dude, and i'm happy for him. But we should focus on those type of players now.

If bitch ass greedy ass kobe didn't have such a big contract they could afford to re-sign Turiaf.  God knows that kobe's got everybody so fuckin uptight they need a dude like Turiaf to balance that shit out.

Lakers had Bird rights, I believe, which is why the Lakers had an opportunity to match the contract GS offered him. I doubt there is any shortage of money to spend on players in LA. LA could have kept him if they wanted him.

So it is Kobe's fault.  Goddamn him.

LOL, no shit...Turiaf is a skilled player, Madsen simply wasn't. Don't take these idiots in these section seriously...a lot of them are just in here for shock value.

NIK you're really overrating Turiaf in here. I used to love his energy and shit, but i'd rather have PJ Brown or Kurt Thomas in my team. No fucking doubt about it.

^Yeah, how bad those hyped Laker players really are shows when they join a fuckwit team. Look @ Kwame in Memphis. SHIT LOL, look @ Smush in Miami...
Title: Re: The Official "We Will Miss You Ronny Turiaf" Thread.
Post by: Antonio on July 20, 2008, 03:04:44 PM
Talking about Kwame, i'd probably rather sign him with the minimum as a role player than having Turiaf in my team with a multi-millionaire contract signed.
I'm not talking shit about Turiaf, don't get me wrong. He is ok. But i think we need a player who could backup Bynum and defend and hustle under the basket.
Turiaf plays with a lot of energy, but it ain't enought. I don't want to see us getting outmuscled down the rim no more.
Title: Re: The Official "We Will Miss You Ronny Turiaf" Thread.
Post by: 7even on July 20, 2008, 03:06:54 PM
I don't think Kwame will play for the minimum after being overpaid throughout his whole career. He will probably retire.

where did I overrate Turiaf? I never said he was a great player...he was definitely a skilled, seriviceable role player, though. It's not like he was Mark Madsen, coming in for garbage time minutes, running up and down the court doing nothing but hustling with energy...he had his skill: shot-blocking, the mid-range game, some nice offensive moves. Turiaf was not a bad player. I'd love it if he came back.
