It's pretty obvious that the Lakers are not going to hold him for next year, at least it'd be a dumb move in my opinion, and I'm sure most of the fans agree with me. But if Mitch wants to make a trade in the middle of the season, then we'd need someone decent for Farmar, that's why he needs playing time to prove himself. Something like Vlad last year. Now I might have too much disrespect for Jordan, because he's been decent last games, but in the big picture I wouldn't like him on our team
I think it's more of PJax wanting to limit Fisher's minutes. The player I feel they are showcasing is Adam Morrison. He's ahead of Sasha in the rotation despite Sasha being the better player. The Lakers can afford to deal Farmar and I wouldn't be surprised if they do to get something for him before he signs some where else for nothing. I've always felt he'd be more valuable in an uptempo system a lot of teams need point guard help. Knicks, Hornets, etc.
Well all I know is that we need to move Farmar eventually then. Because I want to see Brown develop his game more and get much more time than Fisher.
