And he'll be playing alone, and noting that, he'll still have 34 assists and 24 rebounds.

I think Wade & Posey are slightly better defenders than Jalen Rose & Mo Pete. IIRC, one of the biggest rejections Kobe ever got served back to him was by Wade.

Kobe will most likely not surpass 81, but even if he doesn't it's still a historic performance.

What does Fanta actually do to you?

haha its probably a 9 year old boy with ADD thats not allowed sugar

I got this from a Lakers Site:

Atlanta Approaches the Lakers per AM 570
Here is a collection of reports on Herrington:
Lee Hamilton on AM 570 led off today's 5:00 PM headlines stating that Atlanta approached the Lakers directly about a sign-and-trade that would send Al Harrington to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum, Smush Parker, a 1st Round Draft Pick and $3 million in cash.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later Hacksaw Reports: Lakers will not go over luxury tax to get Harrington ( I assume he means add to the cap). Also says that Lakers do not want to trade Andrew Bynum and Smush, but would like to switch out Bynum with Mihm.

Lakers will not make the deal unless Mihm or a bigger salary is added so that the Lakers don't take as big of a cap hit.

Harrington hired Tellem, and told him to go see if he can get him to the Lakers.

Milwaukee, Golden State, Indy in the mix too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big Joe just had a Hawk writer on his show, and he said that according to his sources, there are talks between the Lakers and Hawks. But he said that he has heard the Hawks are interested in Mihm, not Bynum and Smush. He also mentioned that a versatile player like Cook could be attractive, but not that he has heard the Hawks are interested in Cook. That would make the decision easier. He said the breakdown with Indy was the amount of cash included in the deal.

i like that trade, hope the lakers go for it

I used to look to the Laker Thread for some useful NBA Live Team-Building tips, and of course Laker insight.

jonnyboy261, thanks for ruining that.

but i like to keep the lakers thread at the top of the forum
so jus to make sure it never dies or nothin...

It won't die, you don't have to keep reviving it. If you have anything worth while to post then by all means post it, if you're just doing it for no real reason then don't.

i would like to see harrington in a lakers jersey...i just dont know if that will happen really....lots of things pop up thats sounds real...but most of the time they are just rumors that are never true......

and no im not a 9 year old kid and i dont really think i do have ADD
do u think i should go to the doctor?

I think you should stop visiting the forums. Personal advice, of course.

It's a good deal....
Atlanta can now develop Marvin into a superstar and get a 1st rounder
If they do it,The Vlad Rad signing....won't be good as I expected...

Hoopshype article on the Lakers next season, with some quotes from Tex Winter.
Sounds like it's not Bynum's coming out year yet...Kobe permanently goes to the 3 and Odom to the 4?

http://www.hoopshype.com/columns/lakers_lazenby.htm

This time around, Jackson and his coaching staff wanted to see what Winter thought of the play of the team’s young players, especially teen-aged center Andrew Bynum.

“We all were in hopes that he would really arrive,” Winter explained.

However, after studying the tape, Winter offered the truth. The 7-1 Bynum had “a couple of really good games,” Winter said, but the 84-year-old guru came away with questions about Bynum’s intensity, his lack of “fire in the belly. His energy is a question.”

Winter also raised questions about Bynum’s quickness, his reaction to the ball, to events on the floor.

Part of that lack of reaction time is due to his size, Winter said.

“He seems to still be getting bigger. He is huge, but the bottom line, in my opinion, is that we can’t rush him.”

Because Bynum is so big, and a true center, his development is going to take longer, Winter predicted. And that means bigger questions for the Lakers in terms of the upcoming season.

“The organization has to make some tough decisions," Winter said. "You bet. From what I saw of the summer league tapes, there’s just not a whole lot of players there on the roster who can make a difference.

Winter said rookie first-round pick Jordan Farmar could possibly help.

jonnyboy261, thanks for ruining that.

Agreed. This thread went downhill.

wow ok then looks lik ill leave to make it stop going downhill...
i erased my posts so the mod can delete them or whateve

Bynum in Atlanta would lack a proper mentor figure, which he has right now in Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

He'd end up as "that one guy who was drafted too soon and ended up a 10th man nobody"

Good for the Lakers in showing that they intend to facilitate Bynum's development and help him unlock his potential.

I hope they do not make that trade. Trading away a future Star (Andrew Bynum) and a 1st round pick is not worth Al Harrington. They can have Smush Parker though.

Sounds like it's not Bynum's coming out year yet...Kobe permanently goes to the 3 and Odom to the 4?

Why would Kobe go to the 3?

PG: Farmer
SG: Kobe
SF: Radmanovic
PF: Odom
C: Kwame

On the Al Harrington deal, getting him would be great, but I don't want them to give away Bynum. If they make the deal with Mihm and Cook or whoever instead though, !

I still see a lot of potential from Bynum....
Why would they trade him?

Phil likes shooters.Jackson's gonna play Vlad Rad like Paxson,Kukoc or Kerr

Phil does not play rookies too much..I think that's what happened to Bynum
