Poor Chi fans (specifically who're LBJ haters too).
So much hope hinges on DRose etc

I'm a DRose fan & I hate to say this but we won't be seeing the "old" DRose when he returns, this is reminiscent of injuries suffered by Grant Hill & Penny Hardaway back in the day. Wishing him well, he's one of the few guys with class & talent in the NBA now.

Well, the good news is a meniscus tear takes about 3 to 4 mos to heal after surgery. For prime athletes it can even be less. I expect DRose to be back in the playoffs. Hopefully he adjusts his playing style because it so prone to injury.

Based on Chicago Bulls' camp, they opted for the reattachment procedure rather than removal or trimming the meniscus which allow for a shorter healing period. The reattachment would make DRose miss the whole season plus 6 months rehab. Goodbye for now, DRose. Pagaling ka ulit. Till next season

Iba narin kasi talaga ang explosiveness ng athletes ngayon kaya todo ang strain sa muscles, joints and ligaments.

Indeed the players are more athletic in the modern game - before, those who could jump out of the building were clear standouts, nowadays they are a dime-a-dozen in the NBA.

Also, the game has gotten moooore faster ....... ever since the NBA (again) allowed zone defenses, the pace of the game and movement of players has gotten way quicker.

Ano mga shoes nila Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill dati? May endorser pa ba sa NBA ng Fila Shoes?

so much for that paycut/discount talk... I guess he wasnt kidding when he said he wasn't taking a paycut....lol

XanderCage · « **Reply #1514 on:** Nov 26, 2013 at 03:10 AM »

business move. $48m is nothing to what Kobe brings to the franchise in terms of attendance, tv viewers, merchandise etc.. He deserves that money.

well its actually a paycut since he is currently earning $30m this season. compared to $24 per season for that extension. mind you Gasol is earning $20m this season and he is waay overpaid for his current contribution.

rexFi · « **Reply #1515 on:** Nov 26, 2013 at 07:33 AM »

^ right.

ayosbathere · « **Reply #1516 on:** Nov 26, 2013 at 08:48 AM »

Boom!!! this is terrible for Lakers cap management but the investment return is good.

mga lakers fans na nag aasam for Lebron... Goodbye my dreams (Kobe+Lebron)

Trade Pau na ito next year. Pls Mitch don't get Melo.

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #1517 on:** Nov 26, 2013 at 08:57 AM »

Kobe has been averaging an annual salary of around $26M the last five years. His extension pays him about $24M a season....a 7% reduction is hardly a pay cut. Consider the average salaries of other top players at their position. Kevin Love the top PF earns an average of $15M. Howard the top center earns $21M. Harden the top SG at $15M. Chris Paul the top PG at $21M. Durant a SF at $20M.

I figure the argument of winning a championship comes into play. Well how can you argue against Lebron... the best player right now...at any position winning back to back regular season MVP, back to back titles and back to back finals MVP. He earns an average annual salary of $20M. And the same argument can be said when it comes to bringing business to the Heat organization.

Not to mention still the possibility of bringing more trophies to Miami.

So your paying $24M to a soon to be 36 year old player who can still play at a high level but no longer a difference maker in bringing a title to LA. But you also strip down your cap space to sign a marquee player. Not to mention that even if you do have the cap space, does that marquee player want to come to LA and be Kobe's assistant and go to scapegoat and is thrown under the bus the next 2 years and only gets to be the main man during the 2017 season.

I assume you talking to me

.. let say Kobe agree to get a pay cut between 12M-15M/yr then Lakers will offer 28M to Lebron.. do you think Mia can offer 30M/yr contract to Lebron ?? If yes then he can stay in MIA.

Let see next season who will be Kobe's assistant..

My dream to see Kobe vs Lebron in finals didn't happen then wishing this two players playing in Lakers

.. wish lang naman.

Cheers!!!!

Actually no. Give me a minute to look for your post.

XanderCage · « **Reply #1522 on:** Nov 26, 2013 at 10:24 AM »

syempre di naman pwede sumweldo si lebron ng 28m based pa rin yun sa years of experience. 18 year vet na si kobe so mas mataas max contract nya.

so kahit yan yung salary ni kobe, pwede pa kumuha ng isa pang max contract yung lakers next season.

Even with Kobe's salary, Lakers can still sign a max free agent and then are left w/ vet min contracts as well as the mini mid level as options to fill up their roster should they choose to. But I feel they will sign Gasol to probably at $10M per and get an all star for about $12M per.

Can you say OVERPAID? lol. over 20million per year for an old Kobe is just not a good deal. The Lakers just outbid themselves. I don't care how many people Kobe attracts to watch the games, he is just not worth that money at this point. :/

Walang kwenta na tuloy yung plan nila as 2k14 offseason.
