<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ESPN:</div><div class="quote_post">The Lakers traded the rights to No. 51 (Cheick Samb) to the Pistons for Maurice Evans. ...

JR Pinnock: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"Scouting Report: A mid-range scorer with slashing ability ... Slightly undersized for the frontcourt but strength and athleticism helps him to partially compensate ... A poor long range shooter, so he doesn't fit on the perimeter ... At his best going to the goal ... Tremendous leaper, he finishes in traffic ... Able to consistently beat his man off the dribble with his first step ... Good rebounder ... Excellent shot-blocker at 6-5 ... Has a load of potential defensively with his physical skills ... Ability to go from 0-60 quickly gives him a jump on the ball for interceptions and deflections." </div> http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=15558
Nice moves, I like to see the Lakers trying to improve with young talent. I really like the addition of Evans, and it was really a steal on our part. I'm surprised. He should be a solid backup for Kobe.
Hmmmmm, gotta think, wait, and see if this is a good move. I like Mo Evans but....hmmmm....He is 28 years old with only 3 years pro..... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Pinnock averaged 14.5 ppg and was named Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year</div> Nice stats, hope he is worth it. I would have liked to see how Samb played out....damn.
