A good SF?

How about Dorell Wright? Young,athletic, and a good shooter.

Barnes & Ebanks will get it done, specifically with Sessions on the roster...

I was thinking about this for a while, and believe that Mitch needs to go to MWP and tell him that they're considering amnestying him this summer if he doesn't play at a high enough level (or decent enough level, in MWP's case) the rest of the way. I heard a couple interviews where MWP has blatantly said that he's not playing for a contract, so he doesn't have to worry about anything, and I honestly believe that this "security blanket" is causing him to not be motivated enough, and hence the drastic drop in play.

It's really not even the threat of being amnestied that motivates players, because they would essentially still get paid the same thing without having to work - It's more the threat of having a more undesirable city bid on him and pick him up. I think if he knows this is a strong possibility, and that he could be picked up by a crappy team in a cold-weather city, he might try to work a little harder and raise his level of play.

^ Or that plan could completely backfire and Artest plays even worse (if that's even possible).

i quite like dorell wright.

we'd probably have to amnesty MWP for that to happen though

Dorell can only be acquired via trade. seeing we have a glut in our bigs, we can probably ship McBob in exchange for Wright. they have promising wing players that can play multiple positions and GS lack big men. I think this can be done.

Why dont we just make Kobe play SF, limits his shot attempts from the perimeter and forces him to guard slower players since the guy has no effort to play defense on guards that light him up every game...

Great idea, that would work. Just one little itty bitty problem, how are you going to limit Kobe's shots? If you have that answer you belong alongside the FO/Coaching Staff. That question leaves me boggled for hours, I feel there is no solution.

There really isn't other than convincing him he's hurting the team come playoff time. I don't remember Kobe shooting like this in the playoffs even last year (I wouldn't blame him Gasol was horrible last year).
