    Chris Paul had a down year last season, few thought he would bounce back strong yet he did.

    Maybe Paul former backup Darren Collison can help, a long shot.

    The more I watch the Lakers the less convinced I am of AD being a real superstar.
    When he is in without Lebron the team sucks.
    He still has all these amazing stats, but there's something there missing.

    He can't consistently create his own shot. He is a play finisher. Probably the best in the league at it but still not a superstar. That's why Lebron is still the first-option: you can't be the first option if you cannot call your number at will.

    Well, if the Lakers can't sign Collison, maybe they should give a ringer to . . . Jeremy. * ~~~~* That Jeremy.

    He's a Jehovah's witness, why would he go to the Hollywood Lakers? I thought he would sign with them until I was reminded of his faith.

    What he's missing is leadership abilities.

    If he fails, the timing would look bad on him too.

    Lebron expects nothing short of a title, and Collison has not played since I do not know when.

    Would have been a nice challenge though.

    Anyone that rejects the Lakers has my utmost respect.

    WTG Collison.

    Went out with Jeanie..
    ...let her kiss his ass...
    ...went on the jumbotron...
    ...let the Lakers fan kiss his ass..
    ...while they got their asses kicked..
    ...by the midget Rockets on National TV...
    ...in their own arena....

    ...and then said to the Lakers...
