Mebenga, Webber, whatever.

How in the world is this the free agent signing the Lakers make? even if it is just a 10 day.

I don't see Webber out of the picture yet. It's only a 10 day contract.

Derek Fisher/ Jordan Farmar/
Kobe Bryant/ Javaris Crittenton/ Coby
Luke Walton/ Sasha Vujacic/
Lamar Odom/ Ronny Turiaf/
Kwame Brown/ DJ Mbenga

?

Ouch.

Come on Kwame!

This would be about the time that Webbers "in two weeks" statement would have to come to fruition (?). Makes me think Webber won't be a Laker.

He can be cut at anytime so Webber is still a possibility. Webber or not we need an extra body in the paint until Mihm is back on the floor.

pleeeaassseeeee...

While it is nice to dream, I'll be jumping on the couch if he puts up 10pts,10reb,2-blks

Coming to think of it, how many rebounds does Kwame's monstrous physique average?

Good, those six fouls will be needed while Bynum and Mihm are out and Kwame is still recovering.

Why is it that some posters react to this as if this was the FO's center of choice and choose to completely disregard the circumstances?

This signing means nothing. Phil won't play much, and what minutes he does get won't be impact minutes.
