    Well then it doesn't make much sense if you don't agree.

    I've always been a fan of the stache. He'll be a good contributer to the lakers. VLAD sucks.

    Well I subscribe to that superstious theory of his, just that Adam Morrison doesnt apply to it.

    I think he's right. Lakers fans are about to be crying.

    If by "contribute" you mean provide some salary cap relief then I wholeheartedly agree.

    I can see why the Lakers did this trade.

    They get a player whose big rookie contract expires 1 yr sooner than Radman's... I think Vlad has a player option for 2010/11 at ~ 7mil, which is too much for him.
    Shannon Brown is strictly a scorer, not much of a passer. He is probably only marginal NBA talent... looking at his stats, he looks like 100% SG. If he doesn't produce, his contract is up next season.

    For the Bobcats- Radmanovic is the best player in this deal, probably by a significant margin (YIKES!).

    Seems like an OK trade for both teams, but I doubt it has much if any impact on the court.

    I think it opens up trading Luke Walton or Lamar Odom or both right now. Doubt the Lakers are done dealing and wheeling.

    IMO, we need to trade for JJ Reddick in retaliation.

    The guy was a good college player, but has nothing you'd look for in an NBA small forward (namely dead eye shooting, or elite athleticism)

    Simply by NOT trading anyone, KP trumps the Lakers this season.

    Bake it.

    win or lose I don't care as long as he dances and it makes it way onto youtube

    btw... it's been a little while since a team that lost in the championship series made it back and won

    Um yea.......okay. :biglaugh:

    I hope he has a better go than he did with the Bobcats, spot shooting for the Lakers should be more fun than spot shooting for the Bobcats.

    If you're trying to imply that (Southern) California's herb is better than that grown in the Pacific Northwest, you'd be SADLY mistaken. Don't kid yourself, broseph... even for a second. If you're man enough, make a trip up here for one of the games in either March or April and you may not be able to make it home 'til you sober-up in May or June!

    :pimp:

    You have mistaken me good sir. So Cal makes/imports the best stuff. You underestimate the pot triangle of Santa Cruz, Humbolt, and Chico :pimp: It might as well be grown in So Cal since we get so damn much of it.

    Good for Morrison . . . maybe a change of scenery is what he needs.

    I like Brown better than Morrison, who in all likelihood will be hot, flaming garbage.
