Lakers Interested With Tony Allen.

Will he be a good fit? I know he can play defense but we all know that he cant shoot. I'll pass on this guy. :roll:

Kupchak's just doing his job, don't overthink it. Mike Miller and Raja Bell will both be offered contracts before Tony Allen gets one. There's probably a 5% chance we sign him.

as much as i hate raja bell and tony allen, gun to my head i'd pick raja. both can guard but at least raja can shoot.

Don't like Tony Allen at all. Sure he's athletic and can defend, but his offense is woeful.

Shannon Brown > Tony Allen

I'll pass. With Mike Miller possibly accepting our deal, shouldn't we really be going for a PG now. I mean we have Kobe, Miller, Vujacic, Artest, Ebanks, Walton. (I don't really think were going to give Ebanks the playing time he deserves, we all know what phil thinks of rookies, but i think he has a lot of upside and he is a similar playing as allen who loves to slash to the paint.)

I wouldn't mind seeing him. His defense is pretty good.

I'll pass. How about Ronnie Brewer?

Tony Allen's D was really impressive in the finals...But he offense was absolutely horrible, and he would force up some shots he had no business taking too.

I'd rather the Lakers spend their money else where, and if going for defense then get it at the PG spot instead of SG/SF

I still believe that Shannon is a better all around player.

He said right after the playoffs he wanted to remain a Celtic.

Why would Mitch even look at Tony Allen when he just drafted Ebanks who is a defensive minded player that probably could shoot better? Common!!! Give the rookie a chance!!
