    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LA Times: Devean George, a Laker for seven seasons and three championship runs, might be in his last month with the franchise. An unrestricted free agent after the season, he can test the market for the second time since the Lakers drafted him 23rd overall in 1999. He signed a four-year, $20.9-million contract to stay with the team before the 2002-03 season, when the Lakers were intrigued by his bursts of brilliance, but his future is a little less certain this time around. "I'm trying not to think about that," George said. "That's just part of the business. But this could be the last month. There's been some great times. Ups, downs, a lot of fun times. Championships, eyes burning from champagne, cigar smoke." George, 28, has averaged six points and 3.3 rebounds in his career. He is averaging 6.6 points and four rebounds this season. "We're going to wait to see how the year ends up," Laker General Manager Mitch Kupchak said. "We'll have discussions with his representative. He's been an integral part of this team for several seasons now. He knows what we do. He's going to have to make a choice as well. It's tough to predict what's going to happen." George said he would like to return, but also left open the alternative. "Right now, this is the only thing I know," George said of the Lakers. "I've never been on another team. Then again, I don't know what's available. I'm just going to finish the season, talk to my agent and see what the deal is."</div>LINK

    He was the only person to make championships in his rookie, sophomore, and third year.And he was so overrated in video games.I will miss that if he leaves.

    He isn't that overrated, I don't think he can be an all-star in the league but if he had more chances to play, like he did in 03-04, he'd be a starter and he would be a solid player. I don't want him to leave.

    When I play him in NBA Live 06 I can get him 30 points every single game.Overrated? I think so.
