that would be great if arenas was a laker

bryant
arenas
odom
gasol
bynum

who's gonna compete with that?

Never happen. Nobody else wil get any more of Kobe's shots.

Why fix something that isn't broken? Besides, this team already has a couple gunners. One more would only make them worse off.

Since the Lakers have to share their arena with the Clippers, the Clips should have to share their players with the Lakers. Say, Fish wants the day off, we borrow Arenas that evening. Or, Bynum twists his ankle, we can use Kaman for two, three weeks. I think it's fair.

Drunk Eli, that was very funny. But it would be kind of cool.

no way the lakers are getting arenas..

a great player like him should go to a team that isn't lousy. if he can be matched up with a team where he can excel than maybe. Or possible the clippers could put together a big time deal like the celtics did. it would be neat to see them compete for a change.

There once was a team whos starting line up consisted of Bryant. O'neal, Karl Malone, Gary Payton + bench. They failed to win it all. Having a star team doesn't guarantee a championship g13player!

I think people are forgetting that Arenas stated that he'd still like to remain as a Wizard, just that he wants a new contract which is why he's opting out.

Regardless, if he does go to either LA team, that would be pretty nasty.

True, but keep in mind Karl Malone and Gary Payton were getting pretty old.

With that lineup, all those players would be in their prime or not quite there.

lakers are loaded with talent, they dont need areanas, just need their guard back along with bynum.

the clippers can have him and the lakers can sign jesse l martin and no one will know the difference

Yeah and maybe the lakers can get Lebron and the Matrix and Chris Bosh too!!!! There's this thing called the Salary cap and w/ Kobe, Odom and Gasol's contracts they can't sign Arenas. He'll never go to the clippers because he somehow believes he's in the Lebron, Dwade, Kobe stratosphere so he won't go to LA and play 2nd fiddle to Kobe and lose 50 games a year...ask Marion how that being #1 option for the Heat is working out for him right now.

I agree with PointofView. How on earth will the Lakers stay under the cap unless Arenas signs a minimum?

Maybe - if he ever gets off the "perpetual" disabled list !!!

Please don't waste your time with the Clippers.

A lot of guys dont get it. Arenas will not sign a minimum nor settle for a small contract. A sign and trade with either LA teams will make it happen. Odom with Others for the Lakers while Maggette with Others for the Clippers. This will be good for the Lakers as they already have a bunch of players for the small forward position and to be competitive with the great PGs in the west like Paul, D. Williams, and Nash
