For a big.

Who's out there? KMart? Random dudes who might have potential?

If Sacre gets waived too, we got a ball-game...

Shut up and win.

This is probably just about signing a vet while all our bigs are injured.

Kmart please, rather have a defensive oriented vet than an offensive one like Jamison.

Problem is most of them don't have much potential for real growth an development. Anytime the Lakers get a draft pick they trade it in order to reload the team with a trade. So the Lakers just hover around the top because of top talent stars. Other teams around the league hit bottom to build up through the draft.

We aren't in a development phase, either. Ever since the Gasol deal went through, the franchise has been in win mode.

No time for second round patience when we have stars on the court and the city of LA behind them expecting results.
