I think this board would be disappointed if Lamb wasn't one of the two though.

yeah I'll be honest... I prioritize Lamb first and foremost... I want him in any deal... but I wouldn't be too upset if he wasn't included because I like Jones and White as well.

Jones, White, Parsons, Toronto Pick isn't bad either you know?

But yes, I would really like to get Lamb in any variation of a trade package first.

Lamb has to be in the package, he is the best of them all, and he fills a need.

The thing about Terrence Jones and Royce White are, we're already loaded at PF. Although White can be a SF, but most sites have him being a PF. I really like them though, especially Jones. Both have very good potential.

Since Nicholson has a degree in chemistry can his nickname be "Heisenberg"?

Love me some breaking bad.

I see the size likeness, but I don't think their games are comparable. Harrington is a better 3 point shooter, but worse attacking the rim and defending.

well....Jones shot 32% and Harrington shot 33% for the year......but then again it's college 3 and Jones took significantly less....either way though i wouldn't mind having Jones on our team....



Who's in your avi punching Kobe? Telfair?

I suppose you are not referring to summer league play. White has only had one good game whereas Jones has been the definition of consistent.

Andrew Nicholson has a physics degree, not a chemistry degree.

However, Werner Heisenberg was technically a physicist not a chemist so your idea still holds. There is such a tight bond between mathematics and all natural sciences that it in the end it is hard to differentiate between them in terms of new research. I'm an applied mathematician but I often feel like a physicist.

Lakers willing to take back Jason Richardson but not Hedo Turkoglu

Kupchak met with new Orlando General Manager Rob Hennigan on Tuesday in Las Vegas, but it was termed more of a get-acquainted meeting. After all, Kupchak talked with Hennigan the previous day . . . and the day before that . . . and . . . hasn't everybody heard this all before?

Orlando wants any trade partner to absorb more players than just Howard, but the Lakers have no interest in also acquiring forward Hedo Turkoglu, 33, who has two more years and a weighty $23.8 million on his contract.

The Lakers, however, are open to taking the slightly more palatable contract of Magic guard-forward Jason Richardson, 31, who has three years and $18.6 million remaining.

Not suprising but screw the Lakers

I was correct, even though it was only a convenient technicality. #winning
