26 games in, Lakers reclaim top spot. 

Post#1 » by carlquincy » Fri Feb 10, 2012 9:34 am

For the worst 3pt shooting team in the league (28.6%).

Took over Utah with an awesome performance going 1/15 tonight against Boston.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Is it too much to ask for this team to shoot over 30%?

We have 40 games to get our **** together. No way we are getting anywhere in the playoffs with that kind of 3 point shooting.

Ironic that Blake made that three, was a pretty big shot too. All that matters is the win

The only thing ironic about that shot is that its a long 2, not a 3.

Yup

Shooting 45% from deep in the last 3 games

Also we're 8-1 when shooting over 40% from 3

The Bucks and Lakers make such perfect trade partners.

The Lakers have a strong core still in place but little in terms of effective role players and outside shooting.

The Bucks have next to no core but numerous effective role players, many of whom could shoot outside.

Ilyasova is shooting 42% from 3 and has a rebound rate close to Kevin Love. Carlos Delfino is shooting 40 percent from 3 and a good defender. Mike Dunleavy Jr. is shooting 37% from 3 and has good court vision. Then there are other role players like Stephen Jackson and Beno Udrih who could be of value to the Lakers. Maybe Gooden as a backup.

A deal between the two teams makes too much sense not to materialize. I'm thinking like 2-3 of the aforementioned role players (sans Ilyasova) for Walton + filler + your late 1st rounder.

But Ilyasova's the one we'd want :(

Ilyasova is the Bucks best player right now. They should easily be able to get an early to mid 20's 1st rounder for him alone. He would seem to be a better fit in Boston, for example. They are starting Wilcox at power forward. Gasol is starting in LA. Ilyasova would be a backup there. I never got this urgency on the Lakers' part to move Gasol for another core player. I think if the Lakers added Calderon, Delfino, and one of these other role players around Gasol and co., that you'd have what you need to contend again.
