Very good player without the ball. Improved his shooting since he came into the league. Quality defender. Always liked him, I wanted this guy years ago.

Passing game is nothing special, however.

Should definitely be a starter in this league. I do hear some teams are pretty high on him.

Our chances of getting him are basically zero. Hawks will for sure match a full MLE bid on him, so that leaves us with trading for him which will be very tough as well. He played great in the playoffs.

You should trade Odom for Childress and something else. He would bring much needed defense to the team.

He is kind of weak he has had the same frame since he came into the league. However he is a good guy and does play hard, I sat behind him in english @ mayfair high school hes pretty funny, his afro that hes had since then made it real hard to see the board!!! lol. I still think though that posey is a better fit for our team a 3 that can shoot and play defense and has a bad edge. We need that, josh is just another skinny nice guy.

Solid player and definitely someone who can play well alongside Kobe and Pau but he's young and coming off a rookie contract. So he would most likely look for a big money deal which we cannot offer.

Solid role player off the bench. Nothing more with his game. He's a hussle player that has a decent mid range shot. He's defending skills are a little bit above average. He's one of those players that seems to always be in the right place at the right time. This is where he gets most of his points from, when things get a little mucked up near the rim. I'd still have a healthier Ariza than Childress any day of the week. Loved him at Stanford though.

hustle player, decent shooter both from the mid and the 3. hes a reliable scorer and defender. he will command the MLE or more and i dont think the lakers are looking for another full MLE player to add to their cap.
