unless he changes his game, it really doesn't matter. He will get injured again and again until he adjusts. Can't go 100mph to the basket all the time. Team still needs to be blown up, just don't see how they could ever beat the Heat or Pacers in the playoffs as they stand. They play so hard on defense, even without Rose, they will still win a lot of games.

Rose out the rest of the year with a completely torn Meniscus. They went with the reattaching this to his knee option which takes 4-6 months to rehab. It sounds like people like Dwayne Wade might have suggested to Rose that he go this route.

Well. I had Rose only playing 5 games this year. I guess I missed it by another 5.

Im sorry to see rose go the way of steve francis. more of a flash in the pan.
Yeah, I think so.
I hope not but I'm afraid so.
So sorry he messed up your prediction.

Just read about kobes giant two year extention. Seems really stupid to me. Am I missing something here?

No. I think the Lakers like everyone else realize Lebron's not going anywhere and they might as well ride Kobe into the sunset.

Well you can look at it a couple of ways. I really don't see Lebron coming to LA (never did) but they could get Melo and someone lower on the totem pole next year and save room for 2015 when Love opts out, Aldridge becomes available too. In the meantime they didn't piss Kobe off and it looks good for the organization - it states the Lakers take care of theirs.
Not a bad deal if you ask me.
Ugh, even if you can't bring in Lebron, I still think it was too much money. It's basically a business move rather than a competitive one. Oh well, I guess we have to wait it out 2 years and really rebuild from scratch.
it just seems we got right back into a situation we were trying to get out of. sign pau and we're right back where we were. lol

Let's say Kobe leaves 8 mil on the table, which is what was being discussed. Who are you going to get with that, that's a game changer? They were never going to get Lebron and Melo so you get one and a couple of role players that'll work in DAntoni's system (he's never needed expensive players).
The Lakers have a good bench right now, they can have two superstars and save money for a 3rd who'll be available in 2015. I think you guys are over-reacting a little.

We'll see.. just seems like over paying against the cap (something I understood was so important) isn't a smart move. Seems like there could have been some sort of a nod and wink deal to maintain the best competative edge..
I hear what you're saying but they put that much money down and who knows how well Kobe is even going to play after this injury. In any case, I guess if we get Melo it will at least be interesting...though I HATE MELO!
Melo can stay in new York

A team with two ball hogs like Kobe and melo would have to be playing a mutated form of basketball with two basketballs.
Kinda like nick young and Kobe?

On a related note... Looks like the heat are just falling apart from within. Kobe/Shaquille all over again...

Yeah I just used Melo as an example of someone they could still get, though I would prefer not to get him. I just don't underestimate the Lakers ability to make things happen.
