Malone and Payton to the Lakers, would this RING count for them?

[Journeyman]

Can`t beat em join em....

If they go , it can`t possibly be looked at and counted the same as if they had won with the Jazz and Sonics ....

Good move or bad?

 

[Dante]

J-man..I think its a good move and it would count we have seen many people join teams to get rings..they should get there ring and retire

 

[lander]

Bad move. I wouldn't even watch the NBA if this nonsense goes through.

 

[assassin]

Good move, and they count.
What about Malone, Alonzo and Kidd to the Mavs? I think it would still count as well.

 

[Journeyman]

I can see Kidd moving on and "counting" because his career is not on its last leg....Kidd could end up playing for his next team for 6-7 yrs

 

[max1234]

If you're on the team and you contribute why wouldn't the ring "count"?

 

[Journeyman]

I don`t think it would be quite as special for them, do you Max?

 

[lander]

Malone is a fraud ... he had 20 years to win a ring, now he's buying one.

 

[max1234]

J,

I think it would. I mean, both of them will be contributing players, not like Mitch Richmond, just sitting their ass on the bench and getting a ring.

 

[Journeyman]

I agree...man that would be some sight though...no doubt both can still play...and both were so close with their respective teams that they will always be associated with...Payton and Malone are still borderline all stars.....

 

[TheGeneral+]

Another good reason not to watch the NBA, but another good reason to root against LA

 

[Journeyman]

Like when Mike Mussina and Jason Giambi left for NYY...

 

[ChuckSims]

Malone could mean the difference. Are you kidding me? Without a Malone the Lakers have no chance of beating the Spurs or the Kings.

 

[Journeyman]

THERE IS NO DOUBT MALONE AND PAYTON ARE STILL BORDERLINE ALL STARS.....

 

[david123]

It would be cheap but they still couldn't beat SA if they got kidd.

 

[Journeyman]

HMM THAT WOULD BE GOOD......BUT THERE IS ALSO SACRAMENTO AND DALLAS....THE WEST RULES.....
