Pick 2 players to add to our roster and why 

Post#1 » by TonyMontana » Sat Dec 20, 2008 2:26 am

Okay we have a list of a few players that are known to contribute to finals that might be available or will be available.
Keep in mind MLE contracts no trades involved. Also feel free to add others to this list that I havent mentioned.
Who can we use that might fill in our gaps, both on defense and offense?

But here's our choices.

Marbury
Zo
P.J Brown
Tumbo
A. Walker
Lindsey Hunter

I think if we do have a shot at getting Marbury I know some of you are against him, but Im for it.
I think him and Zo will defiantly put us on top.

Marbury casue I think he's hungry to prove himself and I think he's agressiveness can really help us in our need for a good P.G and Zo since he's vet leadership as well as his heart and he's post presence.
I can only imagine him Bynum and L.O.

Give me the exact same.

At least Zo leaves it on the floor every god damn time he plays.

Zo most definitely (doubt he'd play for us though..) and Marbury. HELL NO to Antoine, we don't need any freakin' shimmys in LA

As much as we need his defense...why would Zo sign with us? We haven't enough minutes already, how are he/Gasol/Bynum going to split the minutes?

Pipe.

Though if the Lakers had the brass to do it, I'd love to see the fire it lit under Bynum.

Q. Pick 2 players to add to our roster and why



A. I would pick Lebron James to aliviate our issues at the small forward position and Dwane Wade to address our defensive woes at point guard position.

Pargo, G.Wallace/Marion

Ideally Prince.


Any combo off Pargo+ those sf's I'd be very happy with

Pargo is way too good to be unemployed, but his major asset is his offense. We need defense.

Of the names you posted, I'd pick Zo and Marbury, as well.

Ultimately, I'd like to see Blake and Battier via trade.

Radman is a top five three point shooter in the league. That has trade value written all over it for a team that struggles offensively. There's till time for teams to crumble before the deadline is here. Mitch should be patient and weigh his options carefully, just like he has the last few years.

It isn't pipe having Mourning here. The man is not going to play starter minutes. Get rid of Odom and he has plenty of playing time.

I'd love Steve Blake to be a Laker, EE. He's a very underrated pg.

From the guys on the list, I'd want Zo and Hunter.

I love Zo. He protects the rim as well as any player in the league, albiet in limited minutes. He's physically and mentally tough, provides emotion, and has experience in big games. He'd be perfect (though if Deke wanted to sign and Zo didn't, I'll take Deke was well).

You know, earlier in the season, I said I wanted no part of Hunter. I said that because I thought Fisher and Farmar would do a good enough job (especially defense). Farmar really isn't playing too well, much as I hate to say it. Hunter is solid defending quicker point guards.

Zo- No secrete he'll add toughness and he wouldn't be afraid to get in the ear of these other big's on the team.

Maubury- Was against it at first but then after looking at what we have at the 1, hell Steph wouldn't be as bad or worst then what we already have. Thing is the other guards on other team won't be so free just to roam around because they WOULD have to guard him period, thus far taking something away from their games.

Those two move plus sign Ruben Patterson for some "thugness" on this squad, and ship Yue back to China..............by way of UPS, FedEx, DHL anything. Or cement shoes work to if you catch the drift !

Pargo or Joe Crawford. With Farmar's injury, depth at guard is more important than a big that might see 10 min/g. Until Marbury becomes available, he is out of the discussion as well.

Trade-wise, Tay Prince is target #1.

Toni Kukoc and Scottie pippen , and throw in Ron HArper. They could probably still get it done
