"Has Kobe come to convince Gasol?Kobe, who is spending a few days kicking back in Barca, ran into Pau at the gym in the Juan Carlos hotel, where they had a conversation.Kobe has demanded quality upgrades in order to stay with the Lakers, and Gasol has kept the exit door open in Memphis."I ran into Kobe by chance; and he told me his things, and I told him mine. I'm also not going to tell you everything we talked about."

I gotta admit (actually i've never neglet it) Mitch is pretty good in the draft. I keep faith in him for this draft. But now we need some major trades to be done. C'mon!!

As far as trades...Quote"The same sources said the Lakers turned down a trade request from Phoenix that would have brought four-time All-Star forward Shawn Marion to Los Angeles for Odom and a second player to make the deal work financially"^ Mitch doesn't seem to believe in trades.

* waits for NIK to say Marion only put up those great numbers because of "the system"
Ugh here it goes...Lamar Odom15.9ppg, 9.8rpg, 4.8apg, 1.0spg. 0.6bpg, 46.8 fg%, 29.7 3pfg%, 70.0 ft% - in 56 gamesShawn Marion17.5 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 1.7apg, 2.0spg, 1.5bpg, 52.4fg%, 31.8 3pfg%, 81.1 ft% - in 80 gamesIf the Lakers would've made that trade then signed a true pg, Marion would be a much better fit than Odom. Consistancy is what we're looking for here gentlemen. * waits for NIK to say Marion only put up those great numbers because of "the system"
Luke Walton reached agreement Sunday with the Los Angeles Lakers on a six-year, $30 million contract after general manager Mitch Kupchak placed a call one minute after midnight to express the team's interest in retaining its best unrestricted free agent.They called at the earliest possible moment, and we worked on it all day," agent Lon Babby said. "They wanted him back, and Luke wanted to be there. We wanted to make every effort to get an agreement.before we went out and looked at any other teams."Another of Babby's clients, Grant Hill, had one of his more lucrative options taken away when the Toronto Raptors decided to spend their mid-level exception on Miami Heat sharpshooter Jason Kapono.
