great signing... i guess this means kwame will not be back this season... but what the hell is wrong with mihm? the guy has played literally 20 minutes this entire season.

Hasn't there been reports that Mihm has been working out hard in pre-game warm-ups and looks almost ready to go? Hopefully he didn't have another set back. Either way, we could use the depth.

This kid plays hard. Not a bad move. Not a great move either though.

even when he was in games this season he was hesistant on shots and didn't flow well on offense. he's not a great one-on-one defender but is good @ helping out on team defense when another player gets beat.

That said, I say we do the buy out for mihm.

I like this move for the simple fact that Dacos knows Karate. If the fat boy in phoenix tries anything, Dacos will bust some real moves, not that shaq fu crap. My sensei says Tae Kwon Dacos is superior to Shaq Fu.

They just interviewed him. I love DJ's attitude.

Mbenga - "I hope we win a championship this year"

The defense he showed on Dirk earlier this season is alone worth it. He is a big boy, and he can mix it up a bit inside. I like it.

Why are people panicking about Bynum or Mihm? How much did it cost the Lakers for Mbenga? The prorated minimum? Chump change. Cheapest insurance in the world. If the Lakers need to cut him when our frontcourt players return, they can.

Glad DJ's signed for the rest of the year. Hopefully he pisses shaq off in a costly game and makes shaq swing like a woman again ala brad miller.

You know....I think Shaq's reached a point in his career where that just won't happen. Let's just take him out of the game cleanly, then proceed to shutting down Steve Nash and then Amare Stoudemire. Our role players will handle the other guys.

good signing by the FO.
the guy showed more fire and passion then Kwame, with the same skill set, only for 1/10 of the money.
