Just watching PTI and Tony Cornhieser (spelling) said that Kwame Brown will probably be out of the nba now. Now I know and we know that is wrong because Phil will probably push to sign him but that's 4 experts on t.v. now that think Kwame is terrible and shouldnt be playing. The others are Chuck and Kenny plus Steven A who said the Lakers can only win if they take out Kwame from the picture.

I think we should definitely get Kwame back. I our lineup by playoff time would be like this:
Bynum/Kwame/Mihm
Gasol/Radman/Turiaf
Odom/Ariza/Walton
Kobe/Sasha/Coby
Fish/Farmar
Sick roster on paper, but we have to be cautious as we've all witnessed the Nuggets paper roster vs. actual roster over the last few years.

I'd love for this to happen. I'm not that disappointed in Kwame, when healthy he's a very good asset as a bench guy/specialist. Yes, as of right now he's extremely overpaid, but I think he would have a role in a championship run. I just hope he'll be happy settling for vets min this year and a fraction of the mle this offseason.

is there another team that would pick up kwame?
Celtics are in the market for a backup big man with some size... pretty sure they passed on Webber. Not sure if they would want Kwame... I honestly don't know much about Kwame since his days with the Wizards. But obviously the Celts value defense.

And intelligence....remember that the C's are a championship-caliber team.

Look, it's been greatly exaggerated how bad Kwame Brown is. The fact is that when we were winning, Bynum was the starter, and Kwame was getting 10-15 minutes off the bench. He was PERFECT in that roll. When he doesn't have the pressure of being the starter and having to do things he's not capable of he plays much better. If we add him to back up Bynum and Gasol, he'll be in the perfect spot. If he gets bought out, we should swap him up right away.

Haha, that would be hilarious if we picked up Kwame for the minimum. That would be freaking sweet, what are you guys talking about.
The Lakers would do that in a heartbeat - they like Kwame.
