So Besides Coby Karl lolz jk Besides Kobe, Who do you think is the most dedicated/appreciative member on the lakers, who it seems would stay on Lakers even when offered more money on another team...

Vote on the Poll, and Explain why

My Vote Goes to Fisher

[daco_inc]

Hmm Fisher...didn't he already leave once for more money? I don't remember what, if anything, we offered him, but we couldn't match what GSW was offering.

Yeah, Fish did leave to GS for a hefty contract. I don't think any of those guys are true Lakers yet. Not to the point where they'd say they want to stay with the Lakers for life and actually mean it regardless of money or whatever else.

all of them would

I thought I can vote for Magic....money in this business is like....I dunno man....=/ Kobe threatened to leave and I know he can leave if things got nasty the past season.

[BringDFishBack]

I would have to say Fish. Yes all can be made of him already leaving for more money. But I'm 99% sure that was because the Lakers had Payton and Fish just wanted to start somewhere. He's also said he just wanted to take another "step" in his life. Plus the Lakers wouldn't even offer him a decent contract.

Personally, the most dedicated Laker is the one who works the hardest (practices the most to be the best player he can be and plays his hardest every game). This is a business, and when you get offered more money, you have to take it. I'm not mad at Ronny for leaving. It's a business, it's about money. You can't expect someone to stay with a team when they get offered more money somewhere else. And honestly if they do, they're stupid.

If you're talking money wise, I would say none of them.

yo man Kobe almost left Lakers for the Clippers cause Lakers weren't offering him the max but as soon as Laker offered him max he took the money hopefully i didnt get da story twisted but my vote will pro be fisher

[Sky]

How in the world is Fisher in the poll when he already did leave the Lakers for more money? lol

Yeah ok he won't leave now, but he already did. That disqualifies him automatically.

[The Maverick]

They would all leave if we didn't want to pay them.

[ファイナルファンタジ]

I think Lamar would stay. He loves being the 4th option and if he were to be signed somewhere else, he would have to be the 2nd option at least. Plus he has great chemistry with the team and wants to retire a Laker.

[gcclaker]

Realistically? None of them. Money means security if you are level headed. It all stops there.

TLN front page mentioned Kobe could play in Russia, or even Duke University, for 40M/year....../faint

Exactly. It's a business, no one in their right mind should stay if they get offered more money. Obviously if it's a very small % of the contract and you like where you are, or if you are getting to the end of your career and you want a ring, then it's different.

It mentioned Russia. Duke was just Mike Krzyzewski saying he would like Kobe to play for him.

[GCMD]

all of them would

Any of them with common sense would leave if the money was right.


This is a business. Nobody with the last name "Buss" plays for the Lakers so there is no reason for them to do the Lakers any favors.

You forgot option:

[Zen]

Beginning of the year I would have said Ronny, but we all saw how that turned out.
