Re: Lakers now pursuing Gilbert Arenas?
Goudelock basically is Arenas minus the cancerous attitude? What are you smoking?
Arenas was a solid All-Star and struggled once moved to Orlando from Washington. He Dropped 60 on the Lakers not to long ago! Yes I like Goudelock but come on, he has only had 3 solid games! Don't hold your breath on Goudelock to rescue this team. Plus we can have Areans backup Kobe as SG, he will help us score, kobe will keep him in check like he did with Artest. Fisher is even struggling to hit free throws these days. It cant get any worse is what im saying..

Re: Lakers now pursuing Gilbert Arenas?
I'm pretty surprised this move hasn't gotten done by now.

Re: Lakers now pursuing Gilbert Arenas?
The Lakers have a history of getting players thought to be past their prime or usefulness and getting the most out of them (see McAdoo and Woolridge).
I say give him a shot. What do we have to lose? This team ain't going nowhere as presently constituted, maybe he adds some much-needed scoring punch. |

Re: Lakers now pursuing Gilbert Arenas?
I see no downside if we cut a player like Caracter who's only going to be seeing time if something cataclysmic happens.

Re: Lakers now pursuing Gilbert Arenas?
Caracter tore an MCL right? HE aint playing no matter what.
I think you guys forgetting how bad Arenas was on D. He makes our current PG's look like Lowry. Having said that, for the vet's min it isnt really a risk anyway. |

Re: Lakers now pursuing Gilbert Arenas?
It seems like we called Arenas to check on things with him more than anything and he's not responded positively or is having issues with his knee and is not ready yet.

He's already getting paid sitting on his ass. What's he care ? You really think he's just in the gym everyday working out ? Or sitting back laughing all the way to the bank ? Iverson was a solid all star, and he has two healthy legs. Marbury was a solid all star and he has two healthy legs. Kupchak is doing his due diligence to make calls, that's his job. Making a call and pursuing are two totally different things. You don't pursue a FA nobody wants. I'll stick with the "mini mamba" . If Kobe and Brown trust him, I'll trust him too. And I don't have to worry about any gun play either. |
