Dalakerbox We need to keep one of them because for insurance. Also Ford might not fit our team because he can't shoot. Murphy more likely, but the problem is now the Celtics, and the Magic now need bigs too.

I would pick up Rip, he could play minutes at the point and shooting guard positions, let us have more movement off the ball and would provide some competition to our other guards. We should try to snag one these guys if anything.

Where this playing time on the Celtics roster can be found I have no idea. It's mentioned again and again, same with Orlando. Miami maybe but even they have a very full rotation.

The Lakers are three deep and will have plenty of games where they would love to rest one of their big men down the stretch. The triangle is an exceptional system for a shooting big man. Remember what stooge Brian Cook used to do? Murphy's a much better player.

Charlie Bell is another guy I'd mention as a possible buyout candidate worth signing.

Bell as your fifth guard and Murphy as your fourth big would be excellent.

I think the Lakers should take a look at both Murphy and Powe either one of those guys would add more depth and talent behind Pau, Bynum, and Odom.

I haven't seen a single report mentioning the Lakers and Troy Murphy in the same breath.

That isn't exactly comforting.

no we're the fools if we're going after Kapono, and not working the phones to talk to Murphy. If Mitch wanted him he would get em...I honestly think he's being over looked by our F.O. and I don't want to see Powe in purple and Gold
