Lakers looking to add Newble or Green

Anyone who's in favor of signing Green clearly don't care about winning but just flashy dunks and other meaningless fluf.

Sign Ira Newble, we need more veterans that put an effort on the defensive end, we have enough young potential.

At this point i think we should realize that what we have is scrubs aside from ronny and farmar. SO really you can't get worst than the players thats been on lakers roster for the past 4 years.

With Gasol's injury I think that signing Newble is of utmost importance. This creates the Gasol-Bynum effect.. you know.. when ALL players eventually become healthy, we become UNSTOPPABLE.

Chris Mihm should be coming back soon. So we'll be alright there. Now with pau going down. I think we need to sign newble asap and use lamar at the 4.

With the news of Gasol, we should get Newble. Green is a great possibility if we had time but remember we are trying to win now. Kobe is happy that we got Gasol, but he wants to contend again, he doesnt want to wait a couple more years. Green would have been a good pickup say if we didnt have Coby, since Kobe would have been able to teach him a thing or two. But Newble is the guys we need in the playoffs. I say this because there hasnt been much word on Arizas injury.

sign green and let him fill the steve kerr role. he shoots the three pretty decent. with kobe, bynum and gasol he SHOULD get tons of open looks.

newble is decent but if ariza makes it back, newble would be completely pointless.

green is a project who needs playing time and he most likely won't get a lot here, i don't see him improving much

i have a few friends who are wolves fans and they didn't like green at all while he was there and were overjoyed when he got traded
:dontknow:

i just don't think it will work out for him

I know he's nothing to be overjoyed about, but Newble is at least a veteran who plays hard defense. It's not like he's going to be our starting or even a backup forward. Right now, though, we're pretty thin and need to add someone to the lineup to take the load off of our guys.

Let's keep in mind how brittle Luke and Vlad have been. If one of those guys goes down we're looking at falling out of the playoffs. The race is just too tight this year.

that's how I felt about an exgirlfriend until I found out she was a lousy lay.

Why is it that whenever I heard of Newble I think of a grey fuzzy cat

Now with Paul down we might want to look at some vets to come in and play a couple games. Here are some guys i think should be looked at..

Ira Newble
Jelani McCoy
Michael Olowokandi
Mike Sweetney
Wayne Simien
Danny Fortson

There some vets and McCoy is on the D-League. Do you think anyone is Free agency can help the Lakers out for a couple games?

Can we inject Kareem with some health growth hormones and have him come out of retirement? Steroids? Maybe shrooms.

ohhoo the Kandiman what a wet dream.

Danny Fortson doesnt sound that bad right about now.

The guy averaged 17ppg and 16rpg in '01.

:lol:

there is a reason all of those guys are available.

It's like going to a club to pick up girls and finding a few ugly ones holding up the wall with no guys trying to get at them.

but on the other hand sure why not waste a few million dollars on one of those stiffs that wont leanr our offense in time for playoffs!

However there is Green and he's a guy who is young and has potnetial and upside, maybe scoop him up before someone else does. but of course we wont be able to get any burn out of him for a few years.

perhaps it's best to just stick with what we have and let our guys at the end of the bench take advantage of the ijuries and get some PT
