    My Guess is yes, I think thats why the trade went down right now because the Bobcats are coming to L.A. to play the Clipps, so my guess is Yes

    Lakers Trade Rush!

    Goodbye Rush

    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Los Angeles Lakes guard Kareem Rush was acquired by the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday for two second-round draft picks.

    The Lakers received Charlotte's second-round picks for 2005 and 2008.
    "He has great size and athleticism, he can shoot the ball well with range and because of his length he can play more than one position," Bobcats coach Bernie Bickerstaff said.

    Toronto made Rush the 20th overall pick in the 2002 draft, then traded his rights to the Lakers. He averaged 4.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists in his first two seasons.

    He's averaging just 0.9 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.5 minutes this season, but has been bothered by a right ankle injury and struggled to crack the lineup behind Kobe Bryant and Caron Butler.

    Rush played in all 22 playoff games with the Lakers last year. He scored a playoff career-high 18 points on 6-for-7 3-point shooting on May 31 against Minnesota in the Western Conference finals.

    Charlotte cleared a roster spot last week by waiving guard Eddie House.

    The Lakers also re-signed Tony Bobbitt on Monday. Bobbitt, a 6-foot-4 guard out of Cincinnati, originally signed with Los Angeles during the offseason as an undrafted rookie free agent. He averaged 6.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in seven preseason games for the Lakers before being released.

    i get the feeling that brown will get waived...hes just too shaky with the ball, misses most of his layups, and wont stop jumping before he passes...that pisses me off especially

    and yea CL's been down for like what 3 days now?

    "Its tough to see Kareem go, I knew him from his days in Missouri, but I think its good he will get playing time now."

    Just to paraphrase what Chris Mihm just said on Sports Zone

    I like the addition of Bobbitt, the Lakers have been getting killed on defense at the PG spot. I'm hoping this is also a move to eliminate Tierre Brown from the Laker roster. He's not NBA ready, and doesn't provide any positives for the Lakers. Bring him back for the summer league, but until he learns the basics of basketball he belongs in the NBDL.
