Lakers Trade!

now, the most interesting thing about this trade is the matchup of Slava vs Croshere....who will be the token white guy off the bench?

Croshere will probably be gone by seasons end. There is no way we are going to continue to spend the massive amounts of money we are spending on him with the tiny amount of production he gives.

Fred Jones is fat.

What the hell are you talking about?

Phew, it's not true...the trade won't happen!!

Relax Cloudy, why the hell would you pissed off over someone who hasn't even played 80 games in a season before.... From what I've seen, all Bender will do is just injure himself again. If he even plays plays more than 60 games I would be impressed. This is a guy who was in the league for 6 years and played only 235 games. Even if he is healthy, I doubt he'll be able to put up big numbers or contribute right away.

I dunno, he's just gives me a good feeling that he's some future KG or sth..
and I just watched Coach Carter, and their center looks and plays just like Bender before... memories...aww...

Cloudy, you're an idiot. If you consider yourself a Pacers fan then you're even more of an idiot. Any Pacers fan who still thinks Bender might turn out well is a moron.

I just recently became a Pacers fan because I'm using them in the Dynasty Mode...
And Bender is a pretty decent player in the game...so, as I see you're a real Pacers fan..
Maybe he really sucks...

The guy has lots of potential, but he's been injury prone. It's not that he sucks, it's just that hasn't been able to show up.

According to ESPN, Bender is up to 235. 7'0" 235 is pretty good for a PF.

To me, this reeks of a Phil Jackson deal. It clears out some space at small forward, and gives them someone to play the four while Odom plays point forward.

If you ask me, they're just putting together a team for Jackson to have fun with. A 7'0" 3-point shooting power forward and a 6'10" guy handling the ball.

You beat me to it. But... don't get too excited. The day the Pacers tell the truth to the media about a possible deal is the day the Nuggets start Earl Boykins at Center.

Another Rumor:

The Lakers are exploring a deal with the Hornets sending Jamaal Magloire and PJ Brown to LA for Caron Butler and ending contracts.

OMFG! Lakers would get an Allstar and a MVP candidate only for Butler! What a steal!

(LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.)

BTW, isn't Brown considered to be 'untouchable' by the Hornets?

Oh for crying out loud, that's just sick. Hoopsworld.com suck I'm 99,9% it won't happen. Really, who would trade an Allstar and a valuable veteran for Butler?? Funny.

Maybe a team that won almost no games and is looking to rebuild.
Just a thought guy.

Yeah but I doubt they're that bad off. Come on, even a rebuilding team doesn't trade 2 for 1, that's just blasphemy.

They'd probably get more out of the Raptors for Magloire.

I agree. I would not pull the trigger. Isn't PJ making some big bucks? I am sure they want that off the books. Did JM just sign a big contract too?
