Donyell Marshall Anyone? 

Post#1 » by fareweatherfan » Wed Aug 20, 2008 9:00 pm

Per the Wiretap, Donyell has been waived.

What are your thoughts? Jury is still out for me, please help me decide one way or the other.

Just a few thoughts that immediately entered my mind were:

Possible insurance in the event we trade Lamar for a non-big at the deadline?

Is he the worst defensive player in the league?

Assuming we even have one, do we want to waste a roster spot on him?

If my only exposure to him was from the last few seasons, I wouldn't even know who he was.

The fact that that question comes to mind when signing a free agent should single handedly eliminate him from consideration IMO.

hell no! we are fine the way we are. We have a pure shooter, a slasher, a true center, a young pg. a solid pg, a versatile big, projects, hungry young guys, the best player on the planet, i mean... what else? ok maybe we dont have an artest or bruce bowen but how many teans have a bowen lurking around in their locker room?

...guys bottomline is that we did what we set out to do for the summer and that is add to the team and not subtract from it. so if that last team could get us to the finals, a much better team can get us there again. and probably win it. no more additions unless its a complete steal like luke for artest. if not, im happy to take this team to the training camp.

Well, I guess it was atleast a thoughtful suggestion for a time of boringness.

Haha yeah. At least we don't have the same drama from last season and at least we have the Olympics to keep our basketball fiend in tact.

I don't think we even have a roster spot open. Guys?

Go Barack Obama!!! ...No, no, no don't start that garbage either, no political affiliations or statements should be made up in here or there will be blood shed amongst loyal Laker fans.
