<u>Talks Stall</u> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jun 15 - The Lakers and Pacers have stalled on trade talks involving Jermaine O'Neal because the Lakers do not want to give up both Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom in a swap for O'Neal and power forward Troy Murphy, a source said. The Lakers would also include Kwame Brown in the trade. Numerous sources have said O'Neal wants to play in L.A., but the Lakers simply do not want to part with Odom and Bynum to make it work. Lakers officials declined to comment Thursday. -- Los Angeles Times </div> <div align="center"> lmao
<div class="quote_poster">The Walrus Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"><u>Talks Stall</u> <div align="center"> lmao</div> Kwame Brown is a great defender and has a 9 Million Dollar Expiring Contract
He actually is a very good post defender. He's probably one of the strongest people in the league and is very difficult to back down in the post. He might not be a great shot blocker, but as far as post defense, he is very good at that.
lakers are just stalling to see if they can get any more players, i mean who wouldnt? theyll probably end up taking the deal if they cant do any better

The Lakers are really pissing me off, they need to get this deal done or they better find a great alternative. <div class="quote_poster">AKIRA Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">lakers are just stalling to see if they can get any more players, i mean who wouldnt? theyll probably end up taking the deal if they cant do any better</div> Agreed.
Kwame Brown is a decent defender. He has no post moves whatsoever. I mean make a damn bank shot it isn't that hard. He can't even do a putback dunk. The contract expiring is huge because the Pacers can definitely use that.

And again, its his contract that most teams are gunning for. 9 million + 1 year with a good backup center. Good trade IMO for any team in rebuilding mode.
