I don't think you understand that the Lakers LITERALLY don't retire your number unless you are a Hall of Famer. That's their policy.
A documented policy or assumed policy? Anyway, it's just my opinion his number will be retired. In other news, 24 movie got cancelled gaf? No more 24 FOREVER.

So Lakers-Age wants to retire AC Green's number? I mean, he won chips throughout the 80s and then again in 2000. Iron Man Achievement get!

16 rings 7 retired jerseies
To be fair, i don't think many franchises would retire fishers number either. Except miami. He just wasn't a huge vital cog on that team, on a level with getting your number retired anyway. Chemistry wise, he probably was, but thats about it.
I know the history blackace, it's just my opinion that fisher is a unique type of player that might have his jersey retired one day. I was hoping for the same. It might be a long shot, from the history you've just given me but i think he is unique of a role player to earn it.
EDIT: And what a great answer by dwight to a douche reporter.

Maybe he seems more unique to you than the other important role players of the past because you weren't old enough to watch them?
That was fucking awesome. Respect +1
seriously greg oden get your ass over here

I like how the reporter didn't answer... It was like he was thinking "nope, not walking into this one."
Then settles for 1 hour.
Agreed, very good answer. I for one respect him more for owning up to it. The reporter on the other hand is such a tool.

So the trade made complete and utter sense for everyone involved and Kahn screwed it up. Damnit....
only if coop gets it too
So the trade would have looked like this?
Lakers receive
Michael Beasley
Timberwolves receive
Derek Fisher
Jamal Crawford
Cash (LA)
Cash (Portland)
Blazers receive
1st Rd pick (Lakers via Dallas)
Anthony Tolliver
I can see Minnesota wanting to stick with Beasley rather than selling him for scraps.

Lakers only raise jerseys after they've entered the Basketball Hall of Fame.
It wouldn't be the first time Vinny got slapped around in his own locker room.

The Nets. It's the blueprint for the Nets.
I guess their reasoning is that they can make a late playoff push and most likely the pick will be a late top 10 pick.
Silly but that's the only logical conclusion why they are doing this.

Man the NBA positively gets the bottom of the barrel sports "reporters"...smfh. Best GAF would do a way better job than most of these hacks.
In terms of Mo Gotti vs Vinny D....I'm blaming Vinny as mo was nothing but class in Cleveland.
Replace Vinny with Nate and watch Clips explode (ok ok simmer semi-hotly)
Gentry actually out coached Del Negro.. never thought i'd see the day gentry out coaches anyone down the stretch.
What do you think about his telfair instead of price rotation?
QQ? Gentry out coached Pop for an entire series. Gentry is one of the most under rated coaches going around. If sarver doesn't lock him up for 3 or 4 years, it's a giant mistake.
I really don't know what to think of Telfair or Price. Both played really well in their role for that game. But i don't see a permanent starter in either of them. But i do like it when Telfair plays with confidence. He actually resembles an NBA point guard at times when he does that.
But i think if you have to give one of them big minutes, it's Telfair. One of them spot minutes, it's Price.
Also, i REALLY liked the decision to stick with Lopez late in the 4th. Him posting up deep was causing the clippers to stuff up rotations as bigs were undecided on whether to stick to him or not. And ... it shouldn't be a decision. That Deandre Jordan can't shut down Robin Lopez on his own is pathetic. A guy with that much athletic talent should embarrass Lopez.
But... VDN has a point. A really legitimate beef with that team. Blake has to get over his own hype, and start playing all out every game for the entire game. This bull shit of starting strong then when things don't go your way playing "tired"... iv'e seen it often this season. Everyone is tired, but... is he even averaging the most minutes on the team? (he is, at 36.6 CP3 at 36.4) For reference, Nash is playing 32.4, is 15 years older, and doesn't put on that schtick.
I think the condensed schedule WILL hurt CP3 the most, and its telling. Against the zone, he and the clippers, really lost the plot. Mo Williams was playing some chuckball, it was really really noticeable. And the effort on D was really bad.
On a side note. Jared Dudley is the single best Role Player in the NBA. His contract is an absolute Steal. The anti-boozer.
For possibly 40 days of Gerald Wallace. He could exercise an opt out, as can Deron. They could be left with just Anthony Morrow, Johan Petro and Marshawn Brooks under contract.
Don't get me wrong I definitely want alvin as the coach I just don't like how he usually closes out games and his rotations kill me sometimes, but all in all he has earned an extension with the suns and has done a lot for them since taking over for Porter.
I wouldn't mind seeing Dudley as a sun for life. Put his heart and effort on both ends of the floor in the body of amare and suns would have won every series.
As far as the clips go I never liked Cp3 and still don't. I agree that they are falling into their own hype with all this lob city bullshit they pumped up their own egos way too much for a team that hasn't proven anything. None of the stars on that team have done shit except for all star games. I think Vinny is going to be the scapegoat though. Even though he is given a team of random players with no balance between the roster. He had like 3 pgs and 3 pfs without a decent sf or sg.

All of this....well put.
Glad somebody else has noticed Blake isn't playing like he thinks he is playing. He's HURTING this team right now. Come playoffs he is going to get smoked...look around Blake...lots of 4's ready to know your delicate ass around for 5 to 7 games. And that playoff whistle isn't as kind...
I'd love to see Jared a sun for life, cause he's genuinely the sort of person this club has built it's reputation around since nash has been here. But if the suns can't rebuild, i'd feel really bad for him to waste his career here. He could be a difference maker on a chip team.
You put him on Orlando / clippers and a lot of the rubbish in the locker room goes away. He's just the sort of person that knows how to keep spirits up, and people motivated and going.

I fucking knew this would happen under Woodson.
Yea I'd have no hard feelings if he went to contender once the full on rebuild started. He isn't good enough to build around anyway so he would be wasting his years.
Put him in that SG position in Chicago and I think they go all the way.
Yup, woodson is reverting to iso offense in the 4th, confirmed. To complete the transition all we need is melo to say "i don't care about the fans, they can go fuck themselves" and he'll really have found his new Joe Johnson.
... It would be REALLY interesting. JYD has guarded LBJ before and given him troubles for stretches. Would mean rest of deng, or if he got into foul trouble, LBJ wouldn't be given a free pass...
Add in that Dudley isn't afraid too, and is really good at, knocking down the 3. Great facilitator and passer.
It would certainly be an interesting place.
What a bunch of bullshit. Melo got plenty of iso plays drawn up for him this season, and he would make like a third of his shots at most.
I didn't say, he didn't.

So basically Melo is a huge cancer.
News at a 11.
Wiz so gooooood. Blatche is basically an outcast at this point and Jordan Crawford remains the only player who is a gunner now.
Barnes / Davis future.

Honestly hope Lin makes a huge stink about it. Don't want to see him on the Knicks next season, would be the worst thing possible for his career.
