They've got Hakeem Olajuwon already dont they? Or was it another team..

[Malfa]

I think it was a rumor. I'm not sure..but if they do then they really want Kwame and Bynum to develop nicely.

[J@3]

No they didn't get Hakeem, Kobe101 confused Kareem with Hakeem.

[Doobie]

Well , Kobe101 didn't even say a name . he said "the dream" . Anyways Kareem is going to help develop Kwame into quite the player (I'm hoping).

[beau_boy04]

wasn't kareem a special assts. coach in the Clippers a couple of years back?

[Eldad]

Well...We will see how they will do.
I still think they a lot of work to do at this team!
They have problams in so many boundaries\areas.
We'll see what could they improve.

[Kobe101]

Looks like I got it wrong. My bad.

Kareem is a good choice to tutor the bigs. I think Kareem is good enough to land a head coaching job somwhere in the next 5 years. I bet you laker fans just cant wait to see Kwame and Bynum start throwing up sky hooks everygame.

That would be noce. You dont see those to often.

It's a great idea in theory but being the skeptic that I am, I doubt it will have immediate results. Kwame and Bynum still need to be committed to improving and refining their game, staying in shape and fulfilling their potential. Great teachers generally get great results, but poor students seldom achieve.
