    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Former Laker Horace Grant told the Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith on Sunday that he would consider playing for the Lakers next season, if they'd have him. The Lakers asked Grant to sign with them before the playoffs and he declined.
    "I'd like to go where they have a center," he said. "I'd like to go to the Lakers again and see what that's like now."

    Of the Laker power forwards, Mark Madsen and Samaki Walker will be free agents and the club holds a $5.3-million option on Robert Horry. This summer will be thick with free-agent power forwards who might help the Lakers, including P.J. Brown, Juwan Howard, Karl Malone, Dale Davis and, perhaps, Keon Clark.

    Grant will be 38 in July.

    I dunno...he'd come for the minimum, but I'm not sure if the Lakers want to use up a roster space on him. I'm not sure if he'll be too effective any more.

    his best chance would have been to sign this year, but they couldn't agree on the salary. there is no way he becomes a laker next year with all the free agents wanting to play for the lakers mle. pj brown, howard, keon clark, just to name a few.

    Just a side note...I would be THRILLED if the Lakers could sign two of those guys. Also, remember Malone. He is JUST the type of player we need...a great PF and a third scorer.
