<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Mihm is bye bye. He will be shipped to Atlanta along with the 26th pick for the 5th pick. The Lakers will select Shelden Williams with that pick. Already agreed to. Apparently his brother works for Agent Arm Tellum who happens to be Sheldon Williams agent.</div> Source I'm not sure how I feel about this trade yet. Picking Shelden at #5 is a stretch, especially when the Lakers are pretty solid at PF with Odom and Turiaf.
I don't think this has any legs to it. The guy has 15 posts over at the site. If by any means though, this does happen, I would not select Williams with the 5th pick. He won't get us anywhere. He'll help us defensively, but won't be able to give us that offensive boost we need. We're a pretty solid defensive team in the paint, with Kwame and Turiaf. I just don't see Williams having a big impact on this team. With the 5th pick, I'd like to select one of the following: Brandon Roy, Marcus Williams, LaMarcus Aldridge, or Andrea Bargnani. All of those players will have a better impact on this team than Shelden. Brandon Roy will give us a triangle PG who can score the ball. Marcus Williams will give us a true PG who will take big shots when needed, Aldridge will give us a potential dominant big man to but with Bynum in the future. Holy Jesus, imagine Aldridge and Bynum in the future. Bargnani gives us a Dirk Nowitzki type threat for the future. Once again, if there are any legs to this rumor, we better select one of those players and not Shelden Williams.

There has to be more to this deal than just Mihm and the 26th pick to land 5th overall. I'll believe it when I see it.

Is Bynum worth possibly getting Aldridge, Bargnani, or Roy?
Because the Lakers are shipping him. He won't resign after next year beacuse he'll ask for too much cash. He knows he's a very servicable center, so he'll be seekin' a great deal, and the Lakers aren't going to give it to him.
Trust me he's not going to the Hawks he's going to the central divison bank on that. I have sources he's going to the cental division, Laker fans expect something incredible to happen.
