I think that Farmar and Crittenton are solid but I feel that we need to trade one of them if this deal ever happens because with Fisher and Hinrich one of them won't be seeing any game time so we should trade one of them if this deal goes down.</p>
This type of deal won't put the Bulls anywhere except mid-table. A good slogan would be Just Say No To Kobe.</p>

lets not forget kobe has a not trade clause... and if he sees that the remaining players in chicago will only be gordon, ben wallace and tyrus or noah then he'll reject it</p>

Have you watched a single Laker preseason game before? Or even seen Critt when he was at Georgia Tech? He is probably one of the best players Mitch has ever drafted. He has the potential to turn out better than Gordon and Hinrich. Out of the league in 2-3 years? He might turn into an all-star the next 2-3 year if Kobe Leaves.</p> </p>

We have kobe under contract for two years. No sense rushing a deal .. but for what it is worth, obviously i would like Deng in the deal, and Henrich is a must because we need his contract to get close to Kobe's .... I reallly like that Sefolosha kid too.</p>

He has the perfect height and size to be a NBA guard. He is already more athletic than Hinrich. He is also more versatile than Gordon. He can already shoot and pass well, plus he has the size and strength to get rebounds as a guard. And like I said, he might be an all-star sooner than you think. IF Kobe leaves, when Kobe leaves, the ball goes around more which means more touches for Critt.</p> </p>

But is his defense good? How about his leadership? And his work ethic?</p> I have no clue about Critty...and it really surprises me to see someone say he'll be better than Hinrich and Gordon.</p> I'd still take Hinrich in that trade if I were the Lakers. He's a hardworking player, with a good mindset, and really good defense...plus he could play at both guard positions.</p> </p>

OMG did he just say the Crittenton will be out of the league in 2-3 years that just may be the worst post ever.Crittenton willl be a great player in 2-3 years is more like it but to say he will be out of the league in 2-3 years is stupid.</p>

Crittenton was a blue chip college recruit for GTech and has outplayed all the Laker pointguards in pre-season. His size, speed and ability to change direction will keep him in the league for far more than 2-3 seasons. He's not better than Hinrich at this point in his career, but don't hype up Hinrich's worth by short changing JCritt.</p> </p>
Paxson has got to ask himself is does this put us as the team to beat? honestly I don't think It does. I would still rank Boston ahead of them. Kirk and Deng are two guys who are huge parts of their offense and defense. Kobe is great yes but the Bulls needs in the frontcourt stays the same.</p>
seriously... deng and hinrich (and b wallace to make it work) to the lakers is a dream... BUT that will leave the bulls with kobe, gordon, noah and/or thomas, thabo?, duhon?... um can i say LAkers of the east? LOL Kobe wont allow this trade to happen</p>
