    I highly doubt that this will happen. The lakers have burned the bridge with Shaq and sold their souls to Bryant.

    I remember it being CDs eyes too. I seem to remember he hit his eye while pulling out a golf club. That can't be right, can it?

    Here is a new twist in the Cleveland/Boozer saga.

    According to Ric Bucher of ESPN, if Cleveland did have an oral greement with Boozer they broke league rules ( ala Minnesota/Joe Smith [I believe that's the case] ). This is opinion of Bucher not NBA fact yet.

    Cleveland may also be subject to loss of 1st rounders on top of losing Boozer.

    Good God. That would be brutal! And hilarious! All their LeBron goodwill with the fans destroyed!

    The Press Enterprise is my hometown newspaper and Boderick Turner is the one writer Shaq always talks to and tell him his displeasure with the Lakers.

    If somehow he could have convinced Shaq and Kobe to stay together, it would have made for one of the juciest matchups in quite a while.

    Shaq v. Yao
    Kobe v. Tmac
    Rudy v. his old team

    BTW........was Buss the owner of the Lakers back in the 70s???

    If so, glad he doesn't hold any grudges seeing as how Rudy sued the Lakers and won a couple of million dollars for the Washington incident.

    Same here. I'll stand up and clap for him when the Lakers come to Houston but that's it.

    Rudy got the same contract as the guy who won 9 nba titles.

    Not to shabby.

    RIP

    Rudy T as a Rocket no longer lives. Someone with the same name now lives as a mercenary for the evil empire.

    :( :(

    I used to watch a lot of Lakers basketball because I enjoyed rooting against them. Now I don't even want to see them. :mad:

    The Lakers clearly disrespected Rudy with the K flirtation. I can't believe Rudy would still wag his tail at Buss. I lost a lot of respect for him.
