IF I'm not mistaken and IF it's not just a summer thing, I believe Anthony Brown is 8.

Pretty sure he's wearing 3. Doubt any of these guys would be crazy enough to try that while Kobe is still here.

IDK how I feel about him rockin the # of Lakers big man legend Bynum tho ....

Wait, he wears 55, that's not retired in LA right? My guess is that they photoshopped Bynum's jersey onto him and forgot to change the number.

Good analogy. Definitely not a touchdown, but it keeps us moving forward.

the part about not being able to get to bball part with LMA is sad, what kind of organization is this now? FA like LMA dont care about the fluffs, get to the meat of the matter. IF you want a guy like Aldridge you need to make sure he's on board with what we're doing and not what we could be doing for his off-court career :noway:

Not sure if you or others care about this evaluation of Hibbert but he is strictly a funnel big. Meaning he will require your defense to not switch on PnR and you will have to have the guards chase around the screener. He can't ICE and recover to his man.

Hibbert has been injured though and he is one of the guys that just plays through it mostly although that can be a bad thing. Off the top of my head he has injured his ankle/leg before and has injured his wrist doing that MMA training which totally screwed up his shot for most of the year.

In the end it doesn't matter who he trains with. Guy will do whatever it takes but he will always have terrible quick twitch muscles. He can't change that no matter what. He will drive you mad and he will impress you but in the end of the day you will always think he should of been more for a 7'2 guy.

Good luck to you all and I hope it works out for the Lakers and for Hibbert.

Good post and yeah, depending on him to switch and recover on D is a bad idea. The guards need to be able to communicate with him well on how to funnel their man into him.
