    There's a rumor going around that would send Lue back to the Lakers, and Mihm to the Bucks:

    Milwaukee gets Landry, sends Lue and Villanueva

    LAL gets Lue, sends Mihm

    Houston gets Villanueva and Mihm, sends Landry and Head

    Personally? I love it. Like I've said, we need more than one point guard on the roster, and Lue is not going to be a problem. He is a veteran who is familiar with the triangle offense. I liked him when he was with us, he did a good job staying in front of AI in the Finals, even though everyone only remembers him getting crossed and stepped over.

    He's probably declined a bit due to age, but he's still 10xs the defender Jordan Farmar will ever be. Maybe if we get Lue, it'll motivate Jordan to play harder again like when J-Critt was with us. Who knows. Just get it done Mitch. Mihm doesn't do anything for this team anyways (although he is a great guy and a true professional).

    I'm cool with this. Mihm isn't doing anything on this roster with Bynum healthy and Lue gives us a current need. He fills the void at PG that we have now that Farmar is out for about 8 weeks, plus he's a great shooter, solid defender, and knows the triangle already. Good deal in my book.

    Mihm wasn't doing much for us except seeing some action in blowout games, I'm fine with this move.

    YES FINALLY YES CHRIS MIHM IS GONE AND THAT MEANS MINUTES FOR MBENGA!!!!

    Seriously I attatched Chris Mihm to the phrase foul on Chris Mihm and am so glad to see him finally out for anything.

    Sending away Mihm doesnt really affect us... We barely used him last year and we havent used him for an extendend period of time plus we have Powell and Mbenga as our emergency bigs, theyre enough. Lue would address our backup PG needs.

    Well, the reason we didn't use him last year is because he got hurt...again...and then took a long time to recover from that injury. I'm sure if he'd have been healthy, he would have been used, especially when Bynum went down.

    I remember Lue playing for the Hawks last season, this dude was HORRIBLE! We lost alot of games, just because of him. He can't defend to save his life, he use to alwayz dribble out the clock to the last second and take a stupid shot.

    not really since Mihm barley played. If anything it will give more minutes to Powell who has played very well when given the chance

    I still think Mbenga is underutilized I like him as a defensive presence.

    ^meh...Powell has already shown me more than Mbenga ever did AND I believe he is younger. Mbenga is just a bull in a China shop

    You know, that bull in a china shop thing is such a lie. Does no one watch Mythbusters? Geez.

    I just dont really think we need Ty Lue. He isnt very good. But then again, we dont really need Mihm either.
