Who goes to the IR

With Vlade and Jumaine Jones set to return sometime this week, who will be put on the IR..

The canidates are:

Sasha Vujacic ~ (likely)
Kareem Rush ~ (possible)
Slava Medvedenko ~ (possible)
Tierre Brown ~ (unlikely)
Luke Walton ~ (very unlikely)


I think it's a given that Sasha goes to the IR. However, the second player to go on the IR is going to be interesting. I'm thinking it's gonna be Kareem..

Opinions?

 

put slava on IR

 

<font color="Red">Sasha Vujacic</font> - Vujacic isn't ready for the league just yet, but Rudy could experiment with him in the game, if we continue to miss open shots...however, he'll be on the IR
<font color="Red">Kareem Rush</font> - I don't have anything good to say about him...he's still injured, and the Lakers declined his extension because of it...he's on the IR
Slava Medvedenko - no chance...because he's a big man that can shoot, not to mention pull down alot of boards, and I believe he can benefit from Kobe's penetrations and passing it back out to him for the open shot...nice one-two punch
Tierre Brown - we can't put our backup PG on the IR...it's just too risky
Luke Walton - possibly our best passer, and the biggest spark off the bench, has to be in purple and gold every game

That gives us:

C - Mihm/Divac/Medvedenko
PF - Odom/Grant/Cook
SF - Butler/Walton/<font color="Red">George</font>
SG - Kobe/Jones/<font color="Red">Rush</font>
PG - Atkins/Brown/<font color="Red">Vujacic</font>

 

Well Kareem has to show some skills otherwise its on IR for him. I hope they dont put Slava cause I just love seeing him play. Dont know what it is but he can do some good things when you just give him enough playing time.

 

Probably Sasha and Kareem. Sasha isn't NBA ready and he hardly ever plays as is, so I think he's a given to go to the IR. Kareem has been injured this year. Give him some time on IR, that way he doesn't take up a roster spot while injured.

 

Kareem rush is going to be a good player once he gets out of Kobes shadow. As long as hes in the Lakers he will never be able to show his full potential.

 

WE should just trade George

 

^We most likely will.

 

UPDATE:

Brian Grant and Sasha Vujacic were placed on the IR ... Sasha was expected, but Grant is probably a legit injury. According to the game notes, Grant was put on the IR with knee tendenitis.

 

That works for me. I didn't see the game live, I was listening on ESPN on the net. How did he play? Looks healthy?

 

Vlade Divac is back! It's gonna be interesting to see how well the Lakers do now that they have their full starting roster available.

 

Vlade only played for 5 minutes didnt do much but it was great to see him on the court finaly
