Wouldn't waste the MMLE on him, if a trade could be worked out with Hill or Mcbob then okay.

Looks like the Lakers might be working out both Brandon Rush and Jermaine O'Neal today.

Brandon Rush is also working out in front of the Los Angeles Lakers today. The Lakers have expressed interest in the restricted free agent.

This would be great. Especially after losing out on Grant Hill.

Nash/He Who Shall Not Play
Kobe/Rush
MWP/Barnes?
Pau/Jamison
Drew/JO

Could definitely go to war with that lineup.

Why do people keep including Barnes? There's been zero indication we're bringing him back. It's Ebanks.

That's a sick lineup. Up there with Miami in my estimation.
Hall of famers and solid role players abound in both teams.

I still say give Barnes a chance. Im a fan of his player mentality. Dont know why so many wants to see him go based on what he recently last showed.

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

just don't see how we get Rush, we obviously can't sign him outright so it would have to be a sign and trade but is GS interested in Hill more than Rush? I'm skeptical.

I figured our priority was Grant, since we didn't get him thought negotiations with Barnes might start again.

Lakers really need to do something about that back up SG position.

If you could offer him the money, I'm sure there's a point at which the Warriors wouldn't match. But given your cap situation, that's just not possible. A sign and trade would work, but GS likes Rush enough that Hill alone wouldn't cut it, and you don't really have anyone else we'd want so it'd have to be a multi-team deal. Not too likely, imho.

they also dealt Dorell to make room for PT for their other wings. our offer should be very tempting for the Warriors in order to get Rush.

placing the options in that way is against the CBA
