Think Dantoni wants Novak? Novak+Brew for Artest?

Wow. People on this board have serious mental deficencies

[Im Coming Home]

I love Novak, but I would do this for Ron Ron, I'd be sad to see Novak go though.

I am pretty sure Dantoni is not the GM of the Lakers.

Its Dantoni's system. The GM knows Dantoni needs personnel to run his system. No **** Dantoni isnt the GM.

Novak actually would probably be one of the most ideal players for D'Antoni right now. You can play him next to Howard to compensate for his difficiencies defensively. He'd stretch the floor for Kobe and Howard. Nash in SSOL should be able to get Novak the ball in perfect shooting situations which likely will bump his 3PT% back up pass 40%.

novaks 4 yr deal messes with their 2014 plan

[Falstaffxx]

Artest would be really good on this team. Novak is a nice piece, but Artest would have a big all-around impact.

We already have a team full of crazies anyways. We're about to sign Kenyon. Might as well add another to the mix.

Deadly shooting doesnt help when he is constantly gets beat on defense and on the boards. Doesnt help when he only takes 3 shots in 20 minutes. Its not going to help too much in the playoffs when he wont be able to find an inch of breathing room.

He is a one dimensional player. Artest is a great defender, good rebounder and a solid offensive player. WE wont have to make offense/defense subs...because Artest can play on both ends.

Is this still true?

It doesn't matter.

People continuously underestimate that ownership / front office. They have a plan set. They are eyeing 2014 FA market. They ain't taking any contracts past 2014 unless that player is Lebron James or at the least Kevin Love.

They can always amnesty him if he was not in the plans or trade him in a year or 2.
