Miami/Lakers small trade

Jordan Farmar and Josh Powell for Dorell Wright.

All the players involved are expiring. Wright could use and a change of scenery and playing in his home town might work for him. Farmar gets his wish of being out of the triangle offense. Powell is a homeless man's Udonis Haslem which is not bad for a 3rd PF.

Awful

I really like Wright and think he's a Trevor Ariza type player.. not sure if he'll find much minutes on the Lakers roster though since we're fairly deep at the 3 spot.

Can he play the 2?

The Lakers need Farmar more than Wright.

Agreed, and Miami doesn't have much need for Farmar.

^ I don't think so.. The Lakers have no plans in re-signing Farmar after this season, he is a free-agent. Farmar has never really fit in the triangle offense, doesn't play adequate defense, and has this selfish attitude about him.. Shannon Brown fits in a lot better and he can be kept for cheaper.

Getting Wright in exchange for Farmar wouldn't be too bad, I think Wright has a lot of upside since he's still very young with good athletic ability.. and he comes cheap too.

If Wright can play a bit of the two and be a defensive minded backup for Kobe it would be solid deal.

I'll do a Wright for Farmar but the Lakers wont do it.
