Lakers Forced to Decide About Ronny Turiaf
The Golden State Warriors are forcing the Los Angeles Lakers into a decision about next season’s roster. Golden State has made restricted free agent Ronny Turiaf a generous four year contract offer of seventeen million dollar:
“…Turiaf is a restricted free agent. The Lakers have seven days to match the Warriors’ offer.”

The Lakers decision will be whether to match the contract offer or let Ronny Turiaf go to Golden State. Ronny Turiaf is certainly one of the favorite players of the Lakers fans. He plays with enthusiasm and effort. Along with many other Lakers, Ronny Turiaf had an unremarkable championship series against the Boston Celtics. Ronny Turiaf has had the playoff experience now. Do the Lakers keep that investment or look for another player who can contribute?
If the Lakers decide to let Ronny Turiaf go, they will need to replace substitute who comes into the game for rebounding and altering shots. The price for Ronny Turiaf may be too high with the return of Andrew Bynum. The front line of the Lakers will have Andrew Bynum’s size along with Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. For Ronny Turiaf, no matter which team contract he signs next, he is guaranteed a sizable pay increase and financial security. Some NBA team will ’show him the money’.
