Barea or Luke for Lee? Rivers was talking on the radio that they need a backup PG.


More likely a sell the farm for Pau trade. :roll:

There's not enough healthy bodies for a Gasol trade. Unless Kahn wants let the fans sit on the bench.

Yeah, didn't want to jinx it but that goose-egg that showed up on his hand was identical to the one that I got when I fractured my fourth meta-tarple, which is the foot bone adjacent to the pinky toe. That's a bummer.

For the record, I don't think they brought him back too soon. I had a very similar injury but in my foot, like I said, and I have a pretty physical job. I went back after a month or so. The timing was right. The problem is that the bone remains only mostly healed for quite a while, and KLove's job is not "pretty physical" it's super physical. You couldn't keep him out until now, that's just nuts, but you can't tell him to take it easy out there, either. You kind of have to roll the dice a little on this one, and they did and crapped out. It's a tough life.

Here's hoping they make the best of it with a trade. As long as RR keeps getting healthy. AK stays healthy ( :pray: ), DWill keeps getting better and Shved and Pek keep scoring, this team will stay in the hunt, and that's the best we can hope for right now.

WTF?

Well, the Love haters got their wish. I hope they sit back and enjoy the results.

Well, I hope rubio's back doesn't keep him down too much longer. The team is really going to need him

Ugh, this hurts. I really hope that Derrick can play well over this stretch to either become a good impact player for us, or to up his trade value. If rubio can come in and play well he and derrick have shown they have a good chemistry....hopefully we can still sneak into the playoffs.

Derrick Williams is a beast. Now is his time to shine.

It took him a while to get going tonight but it was a promising start, at least. Not sure he'll keep it up, though.

No, thanks. I'd rather not jeopardize our locker room.

That dude is toxic waste. No way in hell. We still need a scoring guard more anyway.

To be fair to Royce, it's hard to jeopardize a NBA locker room when you've never been in one.

One good game for Derrick tonight. I hope he can build on this.

Adelman is a great coach and he knows exactly how a coach is to respond to that. However I wonder if we could get for a Kevin Love if there is any coach more apt to turn pieces into wins. I like this guy a lot and I think we need to give him more depth to work with. Adelman needs players.
