Payton Traded to Celtics

[Riot]

wow that was stupid....


but what are we even talking about?

[Jackal]

I'm not talking about everyone, but I know a lot of laker fans that just say I love this trade to not point out a weakness or something.

In other words, you just pulled that comment out of your ass and have nothing to back that comment up.

i have stuff to back up my comments but your too blind and ignorant to see them.

That's what we're talking about, don't worry about my comments being stupid, worry about this "stuff" you have to back up your comments, I'm all eyes.

Well, when the Lakers traded Shaq for junk (yes, junk) Lakers fans were acting like they ripped the Heat off. Atleast, the Laker fans I know. They said Shaq is old, on the decline, wants too much money, ect. They were praising Lamar Odom for what he did in Miami, stating that Caron Butler was 3rd in ROY 2 years ago and talking about how great of a rebounder Brian Grant is.

Now, they sign Vlade Divac. They say a starting front court of Vlade-Grant or Vlade-Odom will be perfect. A front court of Vlade-Grant would be easier to score on than Vlade-Webber, and that was easy.

Now they are talking about this Celtics trade. "I wish we could trade with the Celtics everyday". That just shows their weakness/stupidity. You now have one of the weakest PG position in the league. Atkins/Banks is nothing to be excited about considering last year you had Payton/Fisher.

Chris Mihm is nothing. Nothing.

Now they are saying they can run and gun and be one of the fastest teams in the NBA. Banks-Kobe-Butler-Odom-Vlade. Did you just put Vlade in the fastest teams in the NBA starting lineup? If you do, you will be playing 4 on 5 because he won't be able to get down court in time. He sucks at defense, he can't move anymore. He sucks in the running game and the only thing he is good as is moving the ball around in the half court . Now.

Is that enough reasons for you, Mr. Jackal?

[Jackal]

Again, where are you getting this comment from:

"I wish we could trade with the Celtics everyday"

Let me guess...you pulled it out of your ass, correct?

Seriously, those reasons are stuff some fans have said on the forum (if you want to call those things fans.."Oh, If Kobe goes to the Clips, who do I root for? Oh, what a dillema..") seriously, you would find no real fan that says trading away Shaq was a good thing. Not one.

Who in their right mind (note, I said right mind) would trade away the leagues most dominant player?

Anyways, I wasn't talking about any of those comments, I was talking about this one in paticuliar.

I'm not talking about everyone, but I know a lot of laker fans that just say I love this trade to not point out a weakness or something.

I still don't see which Laker fans it is you're talking about, I still don't see who made that comment or where those fans made that comment.

That's why I said you just pulled it out of your ass & since you've STILL not showed me any direct quote as to which fan said that, I'll stick to my opinion about you pulling that comment right out of your ass.

Seriously, show me a direct quote, that's all I ask of you.

That's just like me saying:

Alot of Timberwolves fans think KG is a pussy.

How do I back up this comment?

[Riot]

well, how can I quote something on a different forum or in real life?

[Sauru]

Stupid idiotic white ass motherfuckers.

Now I really want Kobe to go to jail. That'll teach those white high so shit motherfuckers to pull off shit like this.

maybe its just me but i think racist remarks such as these really have no fucking buisness on a chat board

[Riot]

yeah, that was pretty queer for him to say that.

[ATTENTIONWHORE]

Yeah...I think....uh...

Thank you, that is all...I really should be a mod...

[Riot]

well he started it!

[Jay-Peso]

1st warning to stay on topic and no flaming or I will have to lock this thread because I see it going no where at this rate.

[Riot]

Yes Sir, it won't happen again!

[magius]

well mitch cup of shit just crapped on yet another hall of famer, i'd be surprised if gheorge muresan agreed to sign with the lakers now that organization is going to the dogs. First they crap on shaq, and then they crap on payton who took a pay cut SPECIFICALLY to play for them when he couldve been getting max elsewhere. Then they cut malone for divac, and even though malone "supposedly" allowed it, they should've shown loyalty to him (for those of you who dont know the deal was that malone would go multiyear, retire early, get a buyout and thus get more money than he was, this done in order to negate the cap).

What a bunch of fucks with, ahem, a star player to match man, it shows how great the logo is as a player and gm, christ, he's only gone a couple of years and the grizzlies are rising up quickly from the sewage tank they once stunk up, and the lackers are going down down down. I wouldnt be surprised if mark cuban had secretly invested into the team and is secretly sabatoging them from within, in that case at least theres a REASON for complete and utter idioticy.

[NBAliveFREAK]

SERIOUSLY ITS GONNA BE WEIRD HAVIG PAYTON,PEIRCE,DAVIS, AND LEWIS ON THE SAME TEAM BUT AT THE SAME TIME THAT MAKES THEM A SERIOUS PLAYOFF TEAM, AND I ALSO WANT PAYTON TO WIN A RING SO BEING THERE IMPROVES THE CHANCES EVEN THOUGH HIS GREATEST CHANCE WAS LAST YEAR WITH THE LAKERS

[Andrew]

Before someone says it in a less diplomatic fashion: please don't post in all capitals, it is generally considered impolite. Thanks.

[Riot]

lol nice call andrew

I don't see how the Lakers have the weakest PG position in the league. Banks who is known to be a very good defender led the NBA in steals last year, so that should help solve the Lakers getting burned by the likes of Bibby, and Parker. They should get alot of production at the point guard slot with Atkins coming off the bench assuming that Banks is the starter. They also recently signed Tony Bobbit who is an un-drafted rookie out of Cincinnatti, Bobbit was spectacular in summer-league play which I know doesn't say much but he can shoot lights out from long-range. I really see the Lakers believe it or not having a better back-court than they had last year with Fisher and Payton.*

[Riot]

I don't see that. I mean, come on, Marcus Banks was struggling in Summer League play I heard. Also, Chucky Atkins isn't a good point guard. He's a scrub backup at best.

Bobbit...come on....I'd take Payton and Fisher over them anyday of the week.

[Andrew]

Banks who is known to be a very good defender led the NBA in steals last year

Marcus Banks, leading the league in steals for 2003/2004? I'm sorry but that's completely false; he did not even lead all rookies in steals during the 2003/2004 campaign (he was ranked sixth, tied with TJ Ford) and was fifth on the Celtics.

so that should help solve the Lakers getting burned by the likes of Bibby, and Parker.

For all the potential he might have shown so far, he is not at their level yet. With all due respect, the suggestion that the addition of Banks will prevent the Lakers falling victim to the damage Parker and Bibby are capable of is just absurd.

I really see the Lakers believe it or not having a better back-court than they had last year with Fisher and Payton.

I must respectfully disagree. They might fit better in the system that Rudy T plans to run, but I would much rather have a backcourt of Payton and Fisher.

Apologies for going off-topic again but...

I apologise for those comments, I was just really pissed off. I am growing more & more frustrated with Jerry Puss & Mitch "The Bitch" Cup of shit.

Again, I apologise for those comments.

Now, to the folks that think they could lambast me...c'mon, you knew it was coming right?

Lankyman? I think the whole community would puke if you ever turned into a mod. That's all I have to say. All you do is post in the general talk with stuff not many people actually read, hmm...real mod worthy stuff.

Riot, you have nothing to back your comments up by on the forum.

[Matthew]

With all due respect

Which is none

[Riot]

last time i bring it up, I can't quote something that was said to me in real life or on another forum. This isn't the only forum I go to believe it not.

[Jackal]

Riot, you have nothing to back your comments up by on the forum.

On this forum...

Leave your other forum talks on other forums.

[Riot]

If you read my post, I said laker fans that I know about. We were talking about lakers and I thought I'd bring that stuff you. Your the one with a stiffy up your ass trying to be a smart-ass or something.

But... enought of that.

Payton will do good in Bean-Town.

[J@3]

Riot you're a fuckwit.

That's my contribution to this thread.

Atleast I try to be smart...you on the other hand...meh.

Jae, I couldn't have put it better.
