Miller for Brown

How about Sacramento trading Miller for Kwame Brown. Brown would serve as a great replacement until Bynum gets back. He would offer experience and offensive skills not provided by Bynum. His defense and athleticism might not be as good but his offense is good and his experience would be a great value to the Lakers. His ability to shoot out side could pull defenders away from the basket to give Kobe and others more flexability offensively. I think being put in a position of contention to win it all would bring out the best in Miller. He is much better than Brown.
Why would Sacramento do it. To get on with their rebuilding but still having a man to handle the post. His expiring contract would free Sac up of 2 years of salary.

I dont think Miller nor Bynum can play the 4. And a 1st or Critt would be the minimum to add to make Sac consider it.

Well, actually, Miller has succeeded pretty nicely at the 4 for extended period of time a few seasons ago, not to mention this season. Sac will some times use Hawes and Miller simulatameously. He has a nice high post game that might complement Bynum nicely, not to mention giving them a very nice back up center option. Regardless though, I believe Sac is looking for more than expirings for Miller, considering he is playing quite well. Maybe the inclusion of Farmar, Crittenton, or a first round pick? Both teams would have good incentive to do so.

Miller for Brown striaght up sounds like a good deal for the Lakers. Even if Miller can't play the 4, he can still be a great 6th man off the Lakers bench.

Miller for Farmar and Brown is more like it
