    Holy shit I remember that.

    The dude had talent. I really think it was the broken leg during the off-season that threw his career off. It was before his last year in Washington. I remember I followed the Wizards because I lived in VA at the time. He had a decent season and showed his potential. It was the eyar he owned Chris Webber for 30 points and 19 boards, and dominated Jermaine O'neal.

    Then he broke his leg in the off-season during a pick up game and bulked up. After he bulked up, he lost his speed advantage and pretty much lost everything.

    Yeah it is sad. He played well for us that one stretch of games, leading into the playoffs, before someone in Phoenix accused him of rape, then he was never the same.

    Great dunk but even then, at the 26 second mark you can see him lose control of the ball for a moment. Lol poor butterfingers dude. :[

    I really forgot about that incident with his leg. That's probably the reason he sucked more with LA because it did seem like he was progressing for a while back on the Wizards; good point man.

    It takes legendary stone hands to blow that potential of his.

    Haha, yeah.. He was shaping up nicely, but again, that injury must have ruined him.

    I love the notion of Hinrich playing for us... but im not a fan of his contract... i think he's only worth around the max MLE LOL

    But id rather still have Odom than him and thomas... Odom's intangible skills, to me, are really really rare to come by, i wish the lakers could figure out something to bring in hinrich for cheap... maybe trade Bynum (im now very disappointed in Andrew, after he got his money he stopped putting in the work) for a cheaper but equally talented C (Marc Gasol or Al Jeff LOL) then use the money + farmar, etc for Kirk.

    Damn... that would guarantee us the title...

    Hinrich - Kobe - Artest - Pau - C w/ Odom, Fisher, Walton off the bench...

    Talk about lock down D between Hinrich, Kobe and Artest LOL

    The Grizzlies are not going to take on extra money like that for Bynum, they're in terrible financial trouble. Why would Al Jeff be given to us? He's coming off his own knee problems as well but he's still shown a better body of work.

    Still a bit too early to give up on Bynum, the dude is 21 years old and just has to stay healthy. His contract isn't that movable either so just deal with it. He is overpaid, if Buss wants a winner he'll pay up.

    We have Shannon, I think we should just make a few other trades for PG depth and we'll be ok. Try to sweet talk some ring chasers.
