Good for him I say, He really deserves it, extremely hard worker and it finally paid off... Looks like a pretty sweet raise

Good for him. It's all business in sports.

EastCoastJessie | 07/11/08, 09:10 AM

Good luck in Golden state Turiaf...

I'm Rick James **** | 07/11/08, 09:16 AM

He could be a starter for GSW.

ESPN | 07/11/08, 09:25 AM

yeah he could start in GSW and become more widely recognized.

All the best Ronny. My favorite Lakers player!

Drunk Eli bleeds purple! | 07/11/08, 10:09 AM

Man i loved turiaf on the lakers' bench mob.. oh well, hopefully we get artest to make up for some of the lost intensity.. in a good way

KB24LAKERS | 07/11/08, 10:10 AM

I like Ronny but not at that price. Sorry.

J. HOVA: BROOKLYN'S OWN | 07/11/08, 10:33 AM

The Lakers could replace him, in my opinion.

J. HOVA: BROOKLYN'S OWN | 07/11/08, 10:34 AM

See you later!

Not a bad raise - if somebody offered me 5x what I'm making now, I think I would take it.

Thugmeister | 07/11/08, 11:02 AM

I am really sorry to see him go. I hope the Lakers can pull off something to get a scrapper like Ronny was. I still have confidence in the Lakers front office, Mitch Kupchak is one of the smartest GMs in basketball and learned from the best. If you got a problem with that, come at me!

This is a very expensive market. I said that when everyone blew up over the offer to Arenas, who showed he's a class act and left $16 mil on the table for the team.

Turiaf at $17 mil? He will go to GS next year for sure. From $700k to $4.25 mil per for a bench player. Nice work Turiaf!

" I said that when everyone blew up over the offer to Arenas, who showed he's a class act and left $16 mil on the table for the team"

lol.....he didn't leave much- more like the ends of a loaf of bread.

jgb | 07/11/08, 12:25 PM

finally he gets the money dhe deserves

ahung | 07/11/08, 12:43 PM

I wish Turriaf nothing but the best.He did help our team alot and I really wish we could find a way to keep him.This is how pro sports is now-a-days.Everyone is out to get paid and I dont blame him.He should also be on Dancing with the stars.He would win.

TEEDUB | 07/11/08, 01:23 PM

True Petey, a 600% pay increase is hard to turn down. Good for Ronny!

Drunk Eli bleeds purple! | 07/11/08, 01:32 PM

Gee, I don't see how he can refuse 4.6 mil vs 700K even it it was for playing in the NBADL.
