As a Laker fan I hate to see young talent get slip away from Laker Locker room. I hate Ron Artest but thats a different story, beside that I think it was a bad deal for Lakers in the long run. He had the potential to be a franchise face for Lakers. I think entire story was controlled by Ariza’s agent. It was all agent not willing to agree for little bit less money. When you compare the two deal it was not much different.
This is where you can test real ethics and moral behind a basketball player even though we all know all these players only care about Green. If you take a look at Ariza’s basketball career, He was a part of the deal that happen with Orlando and when you compare Ariza with the names in that deal (Brain Cook & Evens, I think), Lakers made Ariza’s career from just another NBA player to high paying NBA basketball Player. Lakers cant take the entire credit but its substantial enough. So, Ariza should have the decency to agree for a smaller deal and stay with Lakers because having the opportunity to win his second NBA Championship ring is priceless.

Back in Minneapolis, and miss my family and friends. I had a great time in Colombo threw a surprise party for my parents 31st wedding anniversary. Only trade off is that I am back in states just in time to watch Lakers winning their 15th NBA championship trophy.

As a Laker fan, you can’t ask better NBA PlayOffs starting week than what I saw this past weekend. I was saw happy to see that Chicago kicking the Boston’s rear end. Not a big fan of Chicago (not even the time Jordan, Scottie, and Rodman was playing) but I will take any team against Boston.
I have mentioned this many times, Doc Rivers simply because I also can coach a team if you give me three supper stars. If you watch carefully Boston doesn’t have template level plays that any point guard can come to a the system can execute. Because they don’t have play calls other than Paul doing his thing, Ray Allen only has his pretty jump shot and KG is just happen to some spiritual guy who has a consistent jump shot around the baseline.
So Boston, I hope you will not go beyond the first round of Play Offs, and Chicago I am pulling for you guys. Send that Green Rear End way it belongs…
Lakers played a solid game against Jazz, It was a perfect show of contribution from all the players. Kobe shows that he can get points where ever, when ever he wants by idling almost entire first half and end up with 24 points at the end of the game. Keep in mind he had 7 Assists.
I hope this year, Lakers and Cavaliers will come for the finals I hope and I want Lakers to win but if Cavaliers win I will not be frustrated like I did when Boston won it last year.
