CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—The Charlotte Bobcats sent struggling forward Adam Morrison and reserve Shannon Brown to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday for forward Vladimir Radmanovic.
The move is the third trade the Bobcats have made this season in a roster shakeup under first-year coach Larry Brown.
Morrison was the third overall pick of the 2006 draft and managing partner Michael Jordan’s first major move since buying into the Bobcats. But Morrison had failed to crack the starting lineup and his minutes had declined under Brown.
Morrison will give the Lakers an outside shooting threat, while the 6-foot-10 Radmanovic gives the Bobcats more depth up front.

morrison gives us the same shooting as vlad
and shannon brown is a decent/fair (better than farmar) Defensive PG

Good to see Vlad go. I'm sorry but I just couldn't stand the defensive feast everyone had on Vlad. Not saying Morrison is better but "Can I have some Change"

At least Morrison can teach the Lakers about the teachings of Karl Marx.

Really good move by the Lakers. Absolutely crap move by Charlotte. The irony is that Morrison's contract would be way more valuable if they just didn't exercise his option to save face.

YES!!!!!! Vlad Rad is useless... Even if Brown and Morrison never play, the Lakers made a good deal...
I have followed Shannon Brown since High School and I love his athleticism... Morrison is garbage, but I'm excited to see what Phil can do with them (look at what he did with Smush, Cook, Ariza.. made them decent players in his system)
Not to mention Luke >>>>>>>> Vlad Rad and the Lakers now have more money to sign Ariza/Odom!!
I'm ecstatic!!!!!!!!

Anyone think Adam can become a good spot up shooter playing along side Kobe. If he plays, Adam is going to get open looks like he's never seen before. I also like this move because it helps re-sign ariza and hopefully LO.

Good moves for now.
Morrison can do the same thing as Vlad and as a financial move, helps us keep LO and Ariza.
Back when I used to watch College Ball as an armchair scout (the Duke days with JJ and Shelden), I loved Shannons game. His D is kick ass and he is a leader on the floor. He was taught well under Coach Tom Izzo.
Good moves but we need a big not guards...but I see why. Vlad had 2 more years left I believe.
