Match or don't match?

4+ a year for an energy guy seems like a bit much.

Vujacic was believed to be looking for a contract starting at about $5 million per season.

If they would happen to resign both, thats 9+ million a year for these two.

They have no cap so who gives a ****

This is a league where guys like Wally Szczerbiak, Erick Dampier, Kwame Brown, Theo Ratliff, Raef LaFrentz and Chris Webber made between 9 and 16 million last year.

Just because other teams are giving out stupid money doesn't really mean the Lakers should.

Let Ronny walk and match Sasha.

The NBA has a soft cap. You can go over if you are re-signing your own guys.

Bye Frenchie.


Keep Sasha so Anze stays happy.

I think Mitch wants to keep both of them. But we will see, how much time does he have?

7 days to match for Turiaf.

If we're going to overpay, i rather do it for Sasha. We need his outside shot and he improved a lot late in the season.

[King Taco]

Ouch. Too much for Ronny. Spend that money on Posey.

[ucsdguy1]

what's with all these Odom for Artest/Thomas rumors going around today too..

[BAD91]

The Lakers are WAY over on the luxury tax...so they would be paying millions more and Mr. Buss wont do it.

Tons of energy but very little production. His offensive game is basically limited to put back dunks. He had a back to the basket game in college but that has been non-existent in the pros.

Defensively is capable, he has pretty good size and is a pretty good athlete. A block and half per game with the minutes he got isn't bad at all. He'll compete and be active but his energy gets him in trouble because he'll foul so much.

Basically if they are signing him as insurance in case a deal with Biedrins doesn't get done I think it's a huge downgrade. If they bring back Biedrins, Turiaf is a nice energy big man off the bench.
