If you show me 1 pic where he doesn't look like a freak you win forever.
I'm going to watch a lot of Bulls games now just to watch Noah get beasted. I really don't see him being good in the NBA. Unless he pulls a Charlie Villanueva and comes out of nowhere.

*sigh*
Ric Bucher says the Jermaine O'Neal offer is still on the table, is it possible to get him and get Artest?
He wasn't goin anywhere anyway. But I would like KG, doubtful or O'neal possible, pretty well, maybe Artest, I don't want him in LA.
Kobe + JO + Artest could do some serious damage, but I think I know why you don't want Artest in LA and I understand that.
Lakers aren't trading Kobe, but there is much more of an upside if they do trade Bynum and Odom, like keeping Kobe and Phil jackson and contending for a title.
*prays for 1st pick next year*
Who would you want to get?
Here's some info on our guy, i know its not going to pacify Kobe but if this info is solid it looks like a decent pick at 19.

Depends who comes out and how they do in College but I would want Derrick Rose or OJ Mayo.
I like the Blazers trade for Francis (huge contract that will be very valuable when it expires) and more importantly Frye. Frye has that nice high post game like Aldridge and will compliment Oden's low post game nicely. Francis at the very least will bring some scoring off the bench and can play PG and SG. The Blazers have really got their shit together and have built a very balanced team that should be a powerhouse in a few years if not sooner.
Did i hear that Ray Allen is heading to Boston as well?

6-5 SG, must be Kobe's replacement. 😉
He's a PG and supposed to be pretty good too, so more of a Smush Parker replacement. I'd be pleased with that pick if I were a Laker fan.
I loved what the Blazers did, btw. Kool, you hit it on the nose. Though they are talking about buying out Francis rather than waiting for his contract to end, but even if we don't, its a better contract than Z-Bo's (I don't understand what Isaiah is thinking bringing another shitty contract that won't win them anything worth the money). I was also very very happy to see Frye coming over. Again, the reasons I like him are the ones you already mentioned, Kool. In addition to all this, we got the 24th pick from Phoenix for cash and the 30th pick for the 42nd and cash considerations (to 76ers). With Josh McRoberts (Duke), Taurean Green (Florida), Rudy Fernandez, Koponen, and Nichols all being the additional drafts in what is considered one of the deepest drafts ever, at least one has a good chance of being a good player in the Blazer's future.
