Newble has made the wise decision of teaming up with Kobe Brya...

Congratulations Lakers fans, I’m proud to announce that the Lakers have apparently hopefully set their final roster. As the Lakers website announced, the 2008 roster is locked in and the time has come for the team picture. Although the roster still has one open spot, perhaps for the likes of Ira Newble or even Gerald Green, the picture was snapped. The 14 men in jerseys, the coaching staff, ...

There were a few high energy Lakers baskets and blocks, but there were also plenty of Dallas highlights in the second half.

Unfortunately, Utah holds the best ...
