Lakers Roundtable: L.A. Times discuss Lakers' acquisition of Steve Blake

[aseohosting]

awesome video .. love it!! great talent =)

[Madsupervilian]

better fit than kirk heinrich

[Ninga0809]

if artest can regain his 3-point shooting % like when he was in houston...artest and blake would rain 3's on teams like crazy.

[frelo08]

lakers 3peat? meet the 3heat!!©

[KoBeGoNg11]

@frelo08

lol..heat?

whaaaaaaaaa...

they cant beat LA lakers.lol..

[TwoTimesForYourMind]

Steve Blake was the man when he played for Maryland.

[Brownboyla1]

The signing of steve blake is official and also the most important one is d-fish is back with the lakers too... steve blake is unselfish not like the punk ass farmar who doesn't know how to play defense or share the ball now it's time 2 get 2 work baby!!!

[scoza]

Lakers bench is off the hook right now. Blake is a goood good acquisition

[3Peat626]

3peat

[therocksownss]

why are they talking about dat faggot lebron in blake discussion

[plpfctn2007]

blaker is a major upgrade from farmar. i wish farmar the best in nw jersey

[LittleBigKRATOS]

@plpfctn2007 : So they got rid of Farmar? Maybe they can get rid of Vujavic too.

[RealDeal336]

@LittleBigKRATOS farmar was a fuck up the past season,vujacic is always gon be there for 2reasons.kobe closest friend on the team.

and number 2.he doesnt get worked up in pressure situations.no matter what he dont care he will play

[Socalified]

Fish is coming back

[geodude1988]

he will contribute much more then farmar did

[EPersonalTrainer]

search: Lakers Nation pwns Miami and Lebron James

[LittleBigKRATOS]

@EPersonalTrainer : Miami won't be near a Tittle (or ring) in about another 3 years you will See.

By that time Kobe and Company would be looking for retirement with at least 2 more rings in their fingers.

[johnmcluvn]

Fisher just wants attention and all that. He'll resign with the Lakers. He's just trying to get a better deal, but the lakers are already over their salary cap. I honestly think Fisher will stay. This will be a great team next year. As for the Heat, I dont really mind because.. THEY SUCK! :D LAKERS AND THEIR RINGS!

[runelord37]

@johnmcluvn this is the only think that pisses me off about Jerry Buss....hes fucking filthy rich...give fisher a contract out hid own damn pocket if needed. im sick of the buisness apect...fish has bled for us...Buss needs to show more respect. I dont want to hear about Rileys fuckin ass talking to Fish again. i dont believe he'll leave... the thought of him leaving AND the thought of him going to that garbage fuckin team makes me nauseous.

[dodgers82]

lakers are the shit. Were drafting greater and greater and greater players each year. If we continue like this well be unstoppable.

[elmeeone]

lol @ lbj he knew he couldnt beat a team of dwade & bosh so he joined them...but even more lol LAkers>heat no matter what

[TeryCockington]

our team?

ya, no.

[mayraynick]

The Lakers will resign Fisher. Blake was brought here for Fisher. He is getting old and said hes not as fast as before. So, Blake is here to help fisher with some rest time.

[runelord37]

@mayraynick that would be a horrible decision

. blake ok/..... but never get rid of fisher...hes got 2 years left in him at least

[ku42]

GO LAKERS!!!!!!! YEAAAA

[imclean111]

idk about steve blake but the lakers betta resign derek fisher, we wouldnt have won any of those championships without fisher

[IpokeBunnies]

Gusy its not official that Fisher is going to leave. More likely, Fisher is going to resign with the lakers.

[sdarms111]

Be afraid of the heat.

[sqweaty]

@sdarms111 The Heat will be overrated. The Spicy 3 in Miami are not like the Big 3 in Boston. The Big 3 were focused and worked together and put there egos aside. These three will not be able to do the same.

[IpokeBunnies]

This is great for the lakers. Farmar obviously wants to leave LA and test his max potential out and Blake would be a great addition to the LAkers who could give them great bench productivity. VOTE UP XDDDD!!!

[fawnknudsen]

Steve Blake is a pimp.

The NBA is fixed.

[DynamiteBoyzz]

Fuck Farmar he sucks dude!!!!

[runelord37]

@DynamiteBoyzz farmar is actually really good...but hes young and wants to test the waters... i dont agree with him and think its a bad decision but its his career.

[jrzy49]

I'm a Blazers fan and the Lakers don't even know how good of a player they got in Blake. Consider yourselves lucky. He's a very intelligent point guard with great work ethic (will learn the triangle quickly), can play on or off the ball, and is aggressive for a PG. You will be very surprised with his decision-making on the court.

[Alvaropelayo123]

@jrzy49 True

[fj40guy]

@jrzy49

r you kidding @jrzy49? "the lakers dont even know how good of a player they got in blake?" huh? "lucky"? im not sure you know the world champion Los Angeles Lakers and there skills in putting a team together. believe me they know exactly what they got in steve blake. Lakers 2011!!

b2bwclal

[MSotelo503]

@jrzy49 Yeah but he gots his downside can't drive or post up and has trouble guarding superstar pg's. His assests are 3pts can pass the ball to Kobe and conditioning is great.

[Lakerbballfan]

@jrzy49 We know, believe me. Considering how much the Triangle stagnates due to lack of ball movement, Blake's going to contribute mightily. Not only that, he's going to play significant minutes with Fish getting a reduction in minutes. That means he's going to jumpstart the bench. Farmar never really anchored the 2nd unit that well. For one season, before he got injured he was great. Since the injury, not so much. Blake is going to excel in that regard.

[mafiadonpersona]

@jrzy49 As a Lakers fan that moved up to Vancouver, WA a five years ago, I understand exactly what we got--best steal this offseason.

[251Trioxin]

This guy sucks...resign Fish!

[Maverick9505]

They should definitely renew farmar and shannon brown, both very good

[runelord37]

@Maverick9505 farmar wants to leave....he will learn once he gets a taste of losing for a few years

[TheBrandanbrown]

Ke$ha cumshot on my news show check it out.

[Kawabunga03]

i remember watching all those laker games against portland the last few seasons. Blake is one of the main reasons we struggled there so many times. This guy can compete and shoot lights out. Its better than Farmar. farmar is more about the name on the back of the jersey then the front.

[M0t0rBreath89]

Difference is Blake wants to be here in L.A and Farmar doesn't. If we kept Farmar, I don't think he would be giving 100%. Blake has everything the Lakers need.

[cvjucla3]

Steve Blake is a career 39.3 FG3% shooter. With his good ball handling skills, passing skills, and good basketball IQ, he will be a great fit in our triangle and on our team. Blake will be a nice compliment to our Championship team. And we still are making moves to make us stronger. Good job, Mitch!

GO BACK-TO-BACK NBA WORLD CHAMPION LOS ANGELES LAKERS!!

[FuckYouVideos]

@cvjucla3 Our?? i never knew you were on the Lakers team... Yea Miami is going to roll over them 2011

[halochief2]

@FuckYouVideos Theres a chance but the celtics will beat Miami's ass up.

Silly Lebron, rings are for Kobe.

[DineNastyLakers]

@halochief2 LOL like that saying...

[DineNastyLakers]

@DineNastyLakers Rings are for Kobe.

[cvjucla3]

@FuckYouVideos Keep dreaming. Good move by the Heat. Even though they now have three Eastern Conference All Stars and three Olympians to try to match up with us. We already have All Stars, Olympians and MVPs on our team. And we have players around those All Stars to win yet another Championship. The Heat will need complimentary players & chemistry to be a complete team. Bring it on!!!

The Champs will Threepeat!!!

Got real, authentic King?

Yeah, we sure do.

He resides in Los Angeles.

[MisterOldSchool1]

Farmar sucks..sorry

[farfromnothin]

im a die hard laker fan but i rather have blake then farmar, blake plays good defense and is wet from the three. farmar is a fan favorite but doesnt really play good. once every 7 games. blake can come in every night and contibute

[Trickishismael360]

@farfromnothin The only thing bad with Blake is that he's not the strongest guy. But yes he puts up one hell of an effort.

[BillyBobTS]

Yawn not much point in watching the regular season or most of the playoffs, Might as well notch in lakers vs heat in the finals... yawn. would of been better if lebron went to the knicks so their would be more true championship competitors.

[chiludo420]

he has what it takes, and he will fit in good with the lakers, he can shoot 3s, he is fast, and has great ball movement, and he dosent take shit from the bigger guys just ask howard lol. he is fiesty. good move lakers, no hard feelings farmar.

[Shaddizal]

Agreed....LETS GO THREE-PEAT

[technicianfa]

Im so happy Farmar is gone, Blake will be a nice fit

[souljasai]

@technicianfa

you stupid fool farmar is much greater than than blake, and I consider farmar better than fisher! wtf is wrong with you?

[fj40guy]

@souljasai

settle doooown soul jasai!!! farmar is cool and hes from ucla, but you need to pinch yourself and wake up. hes nowhere near fishers game and blake just took his spot on the Lakers. sorry

[JohnasonLin1982]

@technicianfa

Farmer = no defense!

[eric87g]

good upgrade. not a replacement for d fish - we still want to see him back.. but i have to say i respect blakes game since he was with portland and then came to the clippers.

[jgerundo24]

it wont b a good move if D-Fish doesnt come back

[MOISTTOWLETS]

nice upgrade from farmar.

[desbeem]

hang up banner 17 cuz blake will be the x factor

[anything654r]

@desbeem lamar odom is still the x factor cause you never know what you're going to get from him. same thing goes for ron artest.
