What's up with the Lakers?

The Lakers. They are achangin'. The bad news is that Ronny Turiaf (our second draft pick this year) has an open heart surgery scheduled sometime soon. He was diagnosed with an enlarged aortic root during his first physical with the Lakers. It is a life threatening condition and we hope everything goes well.

On other news, rumor is that we are trying to get our hands on a new point guard: Tyronn Lue of the Atlanta Hawks, Damon Stoudemire of the Portland Trailblazers, or Gary Payton??? I don't know what's going on here.



And did you hear that Vlade Divac just announced his retirement? His physical condition had not been too good and we never got to see much from him after we got him back from the Kings. Farewell, Vlade. Some of us liked you, others....not as much.





And Kobe is back! Nike just put him is their recent ads for their 2K5 Huarache shoes. And you thought he'd never recover from the court trials. Check him out!
