And we'll get Andrew Bogut next year!

This is going to be interesting, what with the anti-Divac sentiment that a lot of Lakers fans hold as a result of the Lakers/Kings rivalry. Mind you, Dennis Rodman was accepted in Chicago after being an unpopular foe as a Piston so perhaps Vlade's flopping will become appreciated again in LA.

vlade is cool.
not over paid, doesn't mess up a lot, just does what he needs to do weather a flop may be involved. I know Laker fans would be happy when Vlade flops and draws fouls on Shaq

I won't.

I know it's tactics, anything to win, but I would rather lose like a man than win like a fag.

Ofcourse, this is just my opinion. :wink:

He'll swing between PF and C. It'd be stupid, plain stupid to play him at 4 and play Donhuit for about 20 minutes (not saying you're implying that). Marcus is a good shotblocker, but he can't do much else. Grant is "undersized" but seriously, how many centers in the West are all that much bigger (not just height and weight) than Grant? How many are more physical, better hustlers, better at boxing out? Not many. How many pose serious problems on offense with their superior size? Count 'em, 4: Duncan (plays quite a bit of C), Yao, Magloire, and Miller. Miller is an outside threat, so this size differential everyone likes to worry about isn't such a big deal. Grant did an excellent job on Magloire in the playoffs, so that's really only 2 there. A bigger problem will be whoever is backing up Grant at power forward (likely to be an undersized Odom, Walton, Slava, Cook, etc, hopefully Rudy T plays Walton at the 3...), now they're going to struggle against Brand, Amare, Webber 4 times a season.

Hey- Fortson started for Big D last season...then Walker did so too! At centre position

And we saw how far Dallas got.

Lakers aren't going to cut it with Grant & Divac. :roll:
