Will Lakers -- or someone else -- show them the money?

One by one, they said they hoped to come back to play for another NBA championship next season.

[gary remolador]

You must be gamble to intact your Players again.You need to win for another Championship series.Then why not sacrifice to pay back odom/ariza/Brown as one of your starter players. Remember,Brayan can easy to unite your players to go in the basket.Only my suggestion !

Take tremendus SACRAFICE!!! So I ask you? how bad do you want to win!!! it takes great sacrafice...Money or Winning ie: CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! Become a Dynasty again.... Yes we can!!!

[hammer]

to most people, basketball is a game, have fun playing the game that you love, enjoy the life style you earned from the game. money comes and goes, but memories or forever. how much money does one need, playing a game that you love or would be playing anyway, even if you where not a pro.

[SAW]

Keep them all!!!!!

[USC fan in vegas]

I hope we keep them all and if we do I know we will have another title! Go Laker's!!!! Thank you for giving us a wonderful season and another title. With everything going on in the world right now and with the economy being the way it is, it was nice to have something bring us joy. I hope the players know that and make a few sacrifices to stay with the Lakers and bring L.A. another title and give all Laker fans a reason to cheer and forget some of what is going on in our world.

Don't forget Bynum who is due a hefty salary increase!

[Bionic]

Mitch will get it done, they will all be back for a repeat.

[Good bye to bad rubish]

Cant wait for next years civil unrest, I am embarassed to live in Los Angeles, and hope we sell the Lakers just like we did with the Raider, both teams seem to attract the gangs and unrully Mexican fans....no love loss here

Crazy money The economy sucks people are struggling making 8 dollars an hour and these greedy boys want more.. They do not save lives they play a game I say let them go and work at McDonalds and see how that feels.

[Chris]

Let's not forget it's a business. If you only have so much money, you have to pick and choose who can stay and who can go. You will always have the greed of the individual player. Basically we can only offer so much. If they want to take the big money, then enjoy your life in Toronto or Minnesota. Please remember that Ariza and Brown are role players. Do they really deserve that kind of money. Also, there are plenty of 6'10" power forwards available who might take less. Would the be less effective in the triangle? I say, do like fish and go get your money then come back when you arrive at your senses!

[Toneloc]

Dump Odom he road the bus as a passenger Bottom line...

[Illegals are Illegal]

Let the greedy ones go and keep the rest, Jackson will do his job and COACH, and everything will be okay.

[fidel]

unblock message boards on other stories you wimps!

[lmg]

You talk about signing Lamar, Trevor, and Shannon which is great. But can't we get rid of other players via trade to open up more money. You need to see which teams may be interested in Sun Yue, Adam Morrison, Josh Powell, and even Andrew Bynum.

[Irv]

Dr. Buss can make more sacrifices as a multi-millionaire than his players. For Buss it's only a question of how much of his profits he's willing to forego in order to sign these guys.

[raul mnapul]

odom ,ariza and brown please sign with lakers another ring uh'
