Hmmm, where have we heard that before? I seem to remember Kobe Bryant saying something like that a few years ago, before he re-signed with the Lakers. This time, Ronny Turiaf utters those words….

“My first choice is to be here for the rest of my career,” Turiaf said.“ I don’t control all that stuff. I got the sense that I would be back here next year, but who knows what’s going to happen? I’m hoping to be back, so you guys know I want to be here. So know that and that’s it. Hopefully, I’ll be a Laker for life.”
