Such a doubter. Weren’t you the same guy that said throughout the playoffs that the Lakers were NOT going to win the championship.

How can you even call yourself a Laker fan when you don’t have faith in the team? You are an embarrassment to Laker fans.

Detroit is signing Ben Gordan, and Villinueva, thus eating this cap space. Its a matter of Toronto or Portland, although, the lakers should just sign him up for 35M/5 years

“According to a Twitter post by Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Trevor Ariza will become a very rich man at the hands of the team that loses out on Hedo Turkoglu.

League executives believe Portland or Toronto, whichever team does not sign Turkoglu, will offer Ariza between $32 million and $40 million deal.”
