realistically who is left?

[LApwnd]

drop Sasha off on NJ with incentives future picks or something, they need to meet the minium salary requirement anyways. If that were possible remaining space should go to Tmac if bell signs on. I know we'll be missing Brown athleticism but that can only be good for so long as he is a shot clock killer like farmar was. Then hopefully we make a pitch to KThomas, I agree Shaq will want MLE unless Mia really does come calling and in which case I can see him signing for vet min.

I say we drop Luke off with Caracter somewhere.

if he keeps impressing in vegas maybe we can get Den to bite , with Martin/Birdman knee issues and now losing Petro they REALLY need a big.

[TonyMontana]

F*** Matt Barnes. He is a punk.

Thats exactly why we can use him.

Funny!...Speaking of that, I had a dream last night. I met few NBA players.... Kenyon Martin stole my money ($70). So i had to chase his punk ass down to get my money back. I ended up finding him at my high school... damn right i got my sh*t back!! Son of a nugget!! Anyway the room where i found him was full of people waiting for a speaker. So after i got my money i figure i'd wait and see what going on. Turned out they were all going on a skiing field trip. So yah... i went skiing... ... so random...lol

[Mr 24 eight]

salmahayek - we have that player. His name is Kobe Bryant. If he can't get to the basket, Pau and Andy should suffice. Nice tits, btw.

I'm not sure why everyone is clamoring for a SF. We have Ron at 35 minutes a game and we drafted Ebanks to be his sub. If he is struggling Walton is here because really understands the offense.

I think we need a veteran C (read: cheap) behind Andy and Pau, and more importantly a SG with a good three point shot (our bigs will demand help from the wing) and solid on ball defense.

[Gek]

Jarvis Hayes is 36% for his career. He has potential to improve this season and is still pretty young (just 6 years in the L). He can put the ball on the floor as well. For the minimum he would be a great player.

[96 Til Infiniti]

This.

Barnes is a prick but there's no doubt we could use his attitude off the bench to maintain the toughness our starting line up has been developing the past couple seasons. Farmar/Brown/Walton...doesn't exactly scream toughness.

My bad if I posted anyone who signed or picked up an option or something.


I wouldn't mind seeing Jarvis Hayes.

actually, almost any of those bigs up there, well... almost any of the swingmen as well. a couple of them would be redundant, but servicable anyway. good list, just get some of them

Uh yeah...I am aware of Kobe, but if he is out injured or getting some rest on the pine for an extended period, who else is penetrating or able to create offense easily by dribbling? Ron Ron actually looked comical dribbling around at times, Lamar loses the handle more than I'd like, DFish and Blake can initiate the offense but are not good attacking off the dribble or getting to the basket.

I love Bynum and Gasol, but they are not wing players, they are post players. I think we could use a scorer off the bench to back up Kobe and give us a dimension the rest of our players lack.

Thanks for the endowment compliment, BTW, and yes, they are spectacular.

No they won't.

[5up]

Tmac!! I think he can be a good offensive spark off the bench and can play some solid minutes at the SG/SF positions for us.

No they won't.

Denver wanted Caracter on draft night.

[Magicontinues]

I want Anthony Tolliver, dude is pretty good, young, and athletic, he's 6"9 and good on the boards and shooting.

Too small - he's the same size as Caracter.


I'll take this guy http://www.nba.com/playerfile/ian_mahin ... stats.html

[salmahayek]

G=K, I think Mahinmi signed with someone else recently.

[miggs]

miggs the Lakers won't have a 14 or 15 man roster they're gonna have a 13 man roster. So unless Sasha is traded the Lakers have 2 spots left to fill the SG/SF and the backup PF/C position i'm guessing Ebanks and Caracter will make the roster.

How do you get that they'll have a 13 man roster?

Only players under contract are:

Fisher, Bryant, Artest, Odom, Gasol, Bynum, Blake, Vujacic and Walton.

I want:

Ebanks (2nd Rd Min), Caracter (2nd Rd Min), Kurt Thomas (Vet's min), Raja Bell (1.8 remaining MLE) and T-Mac (Vet's min).

That means we'd have only 14 players on our roster, leaving 1 spot open. This is all fiscally possible and very realistic since Kobe is meeting with Bell today, is also recruiting Kurt Thomas AND our 2nd rounders Ebanks & Caracter are playing very well in the summer league. Both are learning the triangle and have shown good enough promise to earn a 2nd round minimum contract on our champs' squad. As for T-Mac, he's FOR SURE trying to come to LA, understanding that he'd only get the vet's minimum here... all that leaves is for the Front Office to see if they want him and if so, get him. Altho, if we don't sign T-Mac, i won't be upset. I just feel he's worth a shot for the price he'll command considering he'll take less to play for a ring. T-Mac can provide a nice scoring punch off the bench for 15 mins per game.

[Jay Cochran]

No way in hell Buss carries more than the 13 req'd when they are 20+ million into luxury tax area.

Luxury tax is what will keep the roster at 13, and as long as Sasha and Luke are still here we only have room for Bell or T-Mac not both.

he already looks like he got more post game then that smush face Sheldon Williams that Den just picked up
