I love this kid...He reminds me a lot of a younger Kobe...He's shown so much potential, and I think he's gunna be a star one day...I want ya'll to mark my words...PeACe
-
being sure Bryant's gonna leave, you pick your next shooting guard to dickryde :)
kinda sweet, even tho rush is nothin more than another young not too sucky bballer, not anywhere close to bryant.
matter of fact is, Lakers will have trouble next season... without bryant, fox, malone..
-
^^^NIK's not the only one saying Rush will be a future superstar...alot of NBA analysist have said that Rush has potential
-

I think there's more of a chance Rush will get traded than Kobe leaving...I just like Rush. He played like a superstar January and February, when Kobe was out...He's shown major potential...Mark my words.
-
I really like Rush. I was heartbroken when the Pacers took Fred Jones way ahead of him in the draft. I don't think he's near Kobe level, but I think he'll be a solid sg for years to come. Reminds me of Ray Allen, with slightly less range.
-
What a night for Rush, I'm still keeping an eye on him...35 points on 12-15 shooting (6-7 from 3) in a win over Indiana... 8)
-
And we traded him for a 2nd rounder. 8)
GYeah!! Go Mitch!!
-
lol the guy is soft and doesn't like contact(both on offence and defence)..but hey,maybe he's change,to score 35 points against indiana is kinda tough..
i think he had a 30 point game against the kings a couple years ago when kobe had that shoulder injurey
-
being sure Bryant's gonna leave,
what the fuck are you talking about? he's our franchise player you dumb piece of shit..get off the man's nuts!!
-
rush has always been awesome....he just needs to muscle up

what the fuck are you talking about?

You guys are stupid as hell. Check the date.

We did it for his good...He wouldn't develop EVER playing behind Kobe. Mitch did it out of good-will for Rush, you think he gave a fuck about that pick?

Rush is a shooting guard, he doesn't need to be aggressive. LOL. It's not even his role...He has a nice drive to the hoop and a great touch from mid-range, long distance, anywhere on the court...He broke a few franchise records for Charlotte last night, including most points in a game and 3-pointers made. Rush can lead the Bobcats to be a strong team in the future...Emeka Okafor, Sean May, Raymond Felton, Matt Carrol etc...These are all players with tremendous upside who can accompany Rush as the superstar of the franchise...I see big things in the future for Kareem and for the Charlotte Bobcats... 8)
-
i doubt rush will ever be a franchise player or superstar.
i do think he can be a very solid player though but IMO any team that builds a franchise around a kareem rush is in for some trouble

Mitch's job last time i checked it is Los Angeles Lakers GM, not Kareem Rush's personal agent. That trade was pretty stupid, and if the kid will develope into a good player, this trade will be remembered how one of the most moronic in Mitch's career. Matter of fact it's already in the top-5, if you ask me..

LMAO...You're a hater. You think I like the trade? HELL NO, you fuck. Kareem Rush was my second player on the Lakers behind Kobe. Mitch Kupchak is not looking out only for his own interests, he's known to look out for his players as well. Rush would serve no purpose to the Lakers behind Kobe, it'd stunt his growth tremendously, which already happened his first 2 season with LA...When Mitch traded Rush, he said that Rush was a tremendous talent that would become something, but unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to grow on the Lakers...Keeping a player like Rush on your team when you're only gunna play him 5-15 minutes is extremely selfish and unfair. Rush was unhappy, Mitch was thoughtful and helped him out...He already has developed into a good player, but if he develops into a superstar, it'll only be because he was traded to a team where he was able to grow and showcase his talent...Get it?

I was envisioning something like an Okafor/Rush/Felton/May era for the Bobcats, with Rush being the main scorer and star.

This is one of the most moronic post i've ever read. So your theory is that if you have a young promising player like him you should send him for free to another team who can keep the faith in him and give him a good minutage just cause you care about him? Sounds like old school Clippers, to me. If you got a good player, you should lock him, and it's Phil's job to find him a good role/minutage. Following your theory we should trade Bynum to Charlotte for a second rounder to let him play 20 minutes per game. Or Wafer to Atlanta. Or Walton to Golden State. Are you fucking crazy? Mitch made a fucking mistake. Just admit it and stop making nonsense with your bullshit theories.

My bullshit theories? It's not a theory, Mitch said that himself when the trade was made. The Laker organization even commented about wanting Rush to get playing time and develop elsewhere. You are the one making moronic posts...Rush can't play on the court with Kobe. They almost play the EXACT same game. Rush isn't gunna get ANY minutes behind Kobe, EVER. In fact, if Rush was still with us, he'd be averaging the same stats as he was 2 years ago...The Lakers didn't want an unhappy player with a great amount of talent sitting on the bench 90% of the time. In return, we got Ronny Turiaf and Von Wafer, which is better than just cutting him (though I still HATE the trade, for my own selfish reasons)...Now, I have no idea why you brought Bynum into this, he's supposed to be our big-man of the future, not of now...LOL. Your analogies are dumber than your thoughts... :-\
-
yeah they traded him for his own good, they had no use for him with Kobe on the team
he is the kind of player that gets a lot of minutes and plays good and if he's on the bench he will have ups and downs, why the fuck even dwell on this trade?
if he stayed with the Lakers he wouldn't have been anything special anyways

Kareem Rush --- Great Potential....no ways around it
-
Another nice night for Rush...
20 points on 8-12 shooting (3-5 from downtown), 1 rebound, 1 block. 8)
Future lookin' bright for the kid...

I'm a huge Rush fan, and probably one of the only Australians to own his jersey, but he aint no Superstar. NIK I think you have trouble seeing clearly what a Superstar is, especially if you seriously believe Kaman will be a 'Superstar' and Nazr will be a 'Superstar'. Rush should be able to average 20pts a season one day, but he is no Superstar, and definately not a Franchise player, what a joke... cmon man, apply reality... :laugh:

Ummm...Rush EASILY has what it takes to develop into a star player. I do NOT have any trouble seeing what a superstar is, Rush has what it takes. Excellent range, consistant 3-ball, nice mid-range jumper, strong drive to the hoop, defense, ability to score at will when he's heated up...This guy has a hidden talent. He has the ability and athleticism. He's still young, and he's been immensely improving his game ever since I started this thread. 49% from 3-point range is nuts...Kareem has been pretty much playing the most minutes on his team and leading the offense for the past few games. Raymond Felton is supposed to be their next franchise player, but I honestly see a lot more potential in Rush to play great than in Felton...Also, Kaman EASILY has what it takes to surpass Brad Miller, who has consistantly been an elite center in the league. Nazr Mohammed will not be a superstar, but he does have what it takes to bring in 20-10 every night if he puts in the effort to get himself there...That alone is enough to label someone a superstar...Rush is gunna be something, that's all I'm saying...PeACe
PS...What is it that brought you to be a Rush fan?

BTW
Kareem Rush>>Trevor Ariza
-
I loved him from his first day as a Laker as he was a 'no one', but I saw glimpses of hope. Same way I started out liking Kyle Korver and Trevor Ariza...
Ariza does not have a polished game, but he is still very young. His defence is better than most with years and years of NBA experience, and he finishes above the rim like crazy...
Good to see you had to find some negative to shoot me down with... but Ariza is going to be a special player, the kid is just nuts...
I still remember watching Lakers/Wolves WC Finals when Rush went nuts, I had messages and phone calls from heaps of mates coz they all knew me as the 'Rush fan', what a proud day it was...
-
Don't get me wrong, UCLA fan here...I like Trevor Ariza, I just think Kareem Rush has more chances of making an all-star team sooner...
-
22 points, 3 boards, 1 assist, 0 turnovers in tonights game vs. the Knicks...Definitely looking like all-star material.
-
22pts = all star now? You're so over the top and biased its actually quite funny. All Harrington put up 32pts but you dont hear anyone calling him all star material... scorers come dime a dozen, he has to step up a lot more to be even mentioned as an All Star by anyone with brains... he didnt even have the best game on his own team, yet your prepping him for All Star Weekend? lol last I checked, 13ppg and 3rebs is NOT AS worthy... get a grib of reality man, you're embarrassing yourself...
NIK's 2005-2006 All Star Squad
Smush Parker
Kareem Rush
Raef Lafrentz

Are you completely incompetent or do you just have major trouble understanding what people are really saying? I didn't say Kareem Rush is an all-star currently, you dumb piece of shit...I said he was on his way and is obviously improving his numbers big time from when I opened this thread. Jamal Magloire and Brad Miller can be all-stars, but God forbid anyone ever claims Raef Lafrentz has all-star potential...You moron, Lafrentz has been on the ballot year in and year out, and Kareem Rush + Smush Parker are two up-and-comers who will be on that ballot really soon as well...Rush's NBA dream is to become an all-star...I have no doubt in my mind that he has what it takes...PeACe

Last 5 Games:
34.4 MPG
51.5% FG
53.8% 3PFG
100% FT
19.4 PPG
OMG! I am so fuckin' nuts for believing he has all-star potential... ::)
-
Raef is on the ballet? Shit, better bust out the MVP trophy now... :o
You could play at an all star level for five games, perhaps thats why its an 82 game season :-X

Fact is that he's steadily improving...You're just too dumb to see what I'm saying. You even proved me right by admitting that he's currently playing at an all-star level, which is what I've been trying to get across...
PS. Raef Lafrentz > Jamaal Magloire
-
Show me where I said Lafrentz has been playing AS worthy?
But who gives a shit, that doesnt PROVE anything, allstars are consistant...
Raef better than Magloire? Shit... big call, being better than one of the worst Allstars of all time...

I was talking about Rush...Anyways, the fact is, Lafrentz can play on an all-star lever. Hell, he's had a season where he averaged 15 points 7.5 rebounds and 3 blocks, not all-staresque?...He's a versatile big man who can play the 3, 4, or 5 AND he has an outside shot...He has been all-star ballot worthy his whole career and has had great games...That's all I've been saying, what the fuck is your point?
-
they put anyones name on the ballet, especially Centre's though man... Jerome James is on the ballet and I will be the first to tell you he shouldnt be there. He has played a handful of games and done shit all... being on the ballet is not a indication of form for Centres, its just a lack of option...

Okay? And compare Raef's career numbers to Jerome James'...Lafrentz might not be a superstar, but he's definitely all-star worthy...That's all I been tryna say.

alright we'll leave it at that... fucked up Rush is injured though... >:(
