If this is true then Nenad must be playing tonight? Either that or we're going small ball, which may not be bad against the Heat. No Shaq or Mourning.
any chance we can go after Miller as well? he too was nearly dealt to the Lakers, Magloire and Wright?? two more expiring contracts! and it frees up another roster spot for that Jkidd trade thats bound to happen before the deadline.

The Lakers also receive the Grizzlies' second-round pick in 2010.</div> So the Lakers gave a late 1st rounder in 2008 and 2010 and will pick up a very high 2010 2nd rounder. Those 2010 picks could be 1 or 2 positions apart! They traded their franchise player for cap space and 1 late 1st round pick. Too stupid.

Who the hell is gonna step up and score 30+ a night like Collins? With our luck he turns into Shaq in his prime over in Memphis..
It's done, I think it won't be finalized til Monday because the NBA offices close at 5 and the deal was announced at 5 pm EST

Throw in a 2nd rounder.
thorn gotta go.DAMN...........He should've done this: swat collins Wright 1st round pick For Gasol and Miller
