Not enough minutes to play Gasol and Bynum at the Center though.

Although I agree about how can they force a guy to sign somewhere I'm pretty sure Barnes thought he was getting 10M from Toronto and when that fell through he came out to us.

interesting that sources from the Blazers are saying that Roy is as good as gone. and Roy indicated that he is interested in playing only in the West. could be a long shot for LA though and the primary concern is a legit PG, not a combo guard who thinks he should be "the man" of the team he's playing for. and LA also needs a back up C.

which brings me to Kurt Thomas. LA isn't one of his ideal destinations but playing for a contender could be enough reason to play for the Lakers. decent defender and has lethal mid range game when left open.

AK would be nice but we have MWP, Barnes, Ebanks, and probably Kobe at times at the 3 spot.

and (OT) wow, BOS, willing to deal the future of their team just to get someone to help Pierce in the offense. just saying.

Apparently we've contacted Jamal Crawford's camp... Not sure if this is real or if it's you're usual "Talk about the Lakers to drive up interest/price" kind of deal.

A number of teams made calls to Crawford’s camp on Wednesday including the New Jersey Nets, New Orleans Hornets, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers, according to sources close to the situation.

That name looks good in blue, congrats bro. What board are you a mod of?


And it's probably a tactic to drive up the asking price from other teams but I sure as hell wouldn't mind him here.
