I read somewhere they offered him 3 yrs/18 mil

and yeah I've been lazy too

**slowly fading** · 07-05-2009, 04:38 PM

so same as artest?

peanut99 · 07-05-2009, 04:46 PM

I think I heard 3 years 24/25 million. I just want him signed quickly on wednesday and be done with it. And shannon too, I heard the pacers contacted him but not much after that

NessaBruin · 07-05-2009, 05:10 PM

oh wait I think you're right A,

it was 24

peanut99 · 07-05-2009, 05:31 PM

I just want it done already.

and has everyone seen Ron's video blogs?

I think they are kind of interesting, and I hope he make a habit out of taking a camera everywhere with him so we get a lot of behind the scenes of the team

that's a LOT

SRSLY. and yea get shannon ASAP

peanut99 · 07-05-2009, 06:10 PM

I don't think around 8 a year is that much for him

NessaBruin · 07-05-2009, 06:31 PM

he was looking for 10, he had said paycut, but I assume he said it thinking the Lakers would pay for the youth of Trevor, I don't think the Lakers have any other choice but to get him now, I'm sure he'd want something along 9 mil though at least

peanut99 · 07-05-2009, 06:34 PM

yeah that's what I figured

so I think if they could get him to agree to 8 it would be really good.

NessaBruin · 07-05-2009, 06:46 PM

it would be really good

I don't want to lose him, I've had enough losing Trevy

peanut99 · 07-05-2009, 06:51 PM

seriously that was bad enough

we can not lose lamar too. I have always had faith that he would be back though, and if what was being said about both him and kobe talking to ron to try and convince him to come to la is true it makes me believe it even more.

NessaBruin · 07-05-2009, 07:07 PM

yeah, plus he doesn't have the agent from hell and was more adamant for the whole season about being a laker so I just have more faith nonetheless I want him signing with us already

i do.

if they werent willing to pay it for trev then why lamar. thats LAME. lamar said hed take a pay cut. and remind you he's coming off the bench. and we need SHANNON

NessaBruin · 07-05-2009, 07:19 PM

I think he does, he brings more to the table than trevor does and the reason they didn't necessarily want to give trevor more was because he had had one good season but it wasn't the type of play to get him 8 mil. I don't think lamar should get the 10 mil, I think 8-9 mil is good for him

peanut99 · 07-05-2009, 07:20 PM

so true N

. I do too word on what is happening with him is not going to come soon enough.

because lamar is the more important piece

and 8 would have been too much for trevor. and while he said he would take a bit of a pay cut I don't think the Lakers should try completely low balling him, he still has his worth and I think they need to be in that ballpark. which I think 8/9 is right around.
