at least phil seems to think so

You have to give it up dcash, we know you weren't high on Brown but he's proving his worth. Sometimes its like that we have to give credit where credit is do.

He's been a hell of a lift off the bench but right now my best best at PG is Sasha Vujacic. He does collect dumb fouls but he's picked up his mojo and rarely makes mistakes. Also he doesn't take those dumb pull up 3s that Fisher does at times.

Farmar has a great chance of being a starter in this league, just not on this team.

noting a couple pages back about trading for Hinriech, i have a feeling...he will do well in the playoffs for the Bulls, who are now goign to focus on going deep in the East next year. Hinriech may actually be worth holding on to for them since he is a vet who was a team captain when they were in the playoffs a couple years back. If they WERE to trade Kirk, which is likely, i don't think it would be for another unproven PG and expirings, Rose definitely needs experience backing him AND someone who's not goign to selfishly try to outplay him. Hinreich has been that guy this year.

i can't spell hinrich to save my life as you can tell.

Rose will start playing 40 MPG and will end up a top 5 PG starting as early as next season and they don't have a need for Hinrich's skill set after that.

More so in a system like D'Antoni's,but as it has been proven..........that system is dying fast. Say what you want about Terry Porter but he was right about trying to change that style, his players was just too damn hard headed to evolve with it.

farmar was a vital part of that run, run, run squad that the 2nd unit became known for

it wasnt until phil started criticising the decision making skills farmar was making that it started going downhill

farmar probably couldnt tell what phil wanted, its a shame but the FO has to make the hard decision whether to sign him to a longer contract or try to trade him.

I agree milesfides and DEEP3CL its time for Jordan to go. I dunno if it was because of his injury but the kid started off well last season too then just started stanking up the court.. Trade him.. He needs to be more aggressive like he was in the ol Fairfax high school days...

He is the wrong fit on the court with this team. Always was, in my opinion. Send him to NY for David Lee, hehe.

Seriously, though, he's a starting caliber point guard on many other teams.

The Knicks would probably have heavy interest in him.

Farmar would be a damn good pg in Oakland. Any interest in Jamal Crawford?

Just watched farmar in the high school jordan classic from 2004. He looked like a much better pg back then. He just does not fit our system. Right now I rank Sasha's passing ability way above Farmar's, which I thought I'd never say about anyone in regards to Sasha. But man Farmar just needs to go, I love his winner's attitude but he clashes with the Lakers in more ways than one. When we trade him it certainly won't be a good riddance type of thing though; Farmar has so much talent but he's being tied down by the triangle.

Trade Farmar for a small forward and draft a pg like PATRICK MILLS! It'd be nice if we could steal a guy with a lot of potential like Corey Brewer since his stock is down due to injury. But Farmar is a pretty good trading chip to land a small forward that is defensive minded and can shoot the 3 at a high clip.

Jordan very well might be better suited for a different team. But unless he starts to expend at least marginal effort on the defensive end, that team isn't going to be worth a crap. Think 32 wins in Golden State or New York. Pretty on offense, terrible in the standings. Because unless you're the second coming of Steve Nash, which Jordan isn't, you simply can't afford to suck that bad on defense and expect to contribute in a meaningful way to a good team.
