Quote:
The Griz tendered a qualifying offer to guard Juan Carlos Navarro so that they can retain his rights should he return to the NBA. Navarro already has informed the Griz that he will play in Spain this season. ...The team didn't extend a qualifying offer to forward Andre Brown. That decision would have put more than $1 million on the table for Brown, so the Griz will possibly explore a deal with Brown later this summer. If Brown returns for the league minimum, he still would earn $854,000. Also, the Griz will not attempt to re-sign Casey Jacobsen and Kwame Brown.

I'm not sold on Kwame. He's proven himself to be unreliable physically and mentally. I wouldn't call him a great defender, maybe adequate. Besides Lakers have been there done that with him. I mean he's just as gifted offensively as Mbenga and I think Mbenga is more of a hustler, ugly to watch but a hustler nonetheless. |

But he's so much of a liability on the court. Honestly. He's fidgety, mishandles rebounds, makes careless mistakes. We can't handle having a liability like that on the team. I understand that he bodies up well on big guys, but you definitely need more than that from any NBA player. I feel that Kwame can screw up even the most open of looks. If you've got an open look, you need to dunk it or lay it in, not horribly CLANG a dunk or try passing it out because you can't handle the pressure. And we've got plenty of guys to crack under pressure; do we need another one?
Honestly, I'd rather resign Mbenga. Big enough to body up on other guys; he may be foul prone but that's really all we need from him. Bang up the big guys when Bynum's in foul trouble, picking up the fouls we don't want Bynum to get. That's it. And at least Mbenga can finish (remember that dunk off the free throw in the Utah series?). He may not be the most offensively skilled player nor is he as quick as Kwame, but I trust his judgment more than Kwame's, and that's really saying a lot. |

| I can not believe you guys! Good riddance to bad rubbish!!! Forget this guy! He has the basketball IQ of a retarded peafowl! Now if Kwappie Bwoun (as Elmer Fudd would say) wants to pay the Lakers back all of his ill-gotten gains to rejoin the team - well, I guess they could use the money - in that case, hire him back and then set him up to run a day-care center for demented spider monkeys... |

| im just saying if we had kwame playing vs perkins... we would not have gotten pushed around the way we did, kwame is atleast physical and he could actually defend 1 on 1, believe it or not, if we had kwame we would not have been destroyed by all of the physicality of the celtics |

LB,
You are absolutely right. I momentarily forgot myself. I must now dutifully abase myself and humbly entreat the acceptance of my most abject apologies to the peafowl family and all of their numerous descendants. It is certainly true that even one of your most dullard hatchlings affected with Ups-Syndrome (i.e., the phantomatic version of Downs Syndrome in birds) is by contrast with Kwame Brown a veritable Einstein... |

Here is a list of former lakers who should NEVER be resigned by the Lakers. Note this is only the players who I think are even still in the league. So it does not inlcude guys like Devin Green.
1. Smush Parker
2. Kwame Brown
3. Brian Cook
4. Mark Madsen
5. Devean George
6. Chuck Atkins
7. Kareem Rush
8. Jumaine Jones |

I definitely want to see Kwame Brown back if it's on the cheap.
Bigger and stronger than MBenga, better D than MBenga, Been-there, Done-that in some big games, unlike MBenga and maybe even better offense than MBenga!
I think he's an answer to a problem we have and as far as FA's that fit the bill, Kwame's one of very few on the list and, in my opinion, the best suited.
P.S. What you got against Rush and Jones? |

Exactly. He moves his feet better than most centers and isn't lazy about it.
Plus, as back-up center, his possible mental weaknesses aren't going to come into play the way they did when he was starting and expected to carry a large portion of the offensive load. As it is, MBenga and Turiaf are applauded if they score a bucket at all. |

A lot of K Brown cool aid being past around today..lets hope Mitch stays away from drinking it!!
K Brown is a bum,mentally weak,a joke,an underachiever,a guy I dont want on the Lakers,a guy I dont want in a big spot in a big game. Saying Brown is better then guys at the end of the Laker bench who dont play is no reason to sign this bum back.
Are the Lakers this desperate? Did the Lakers not just make the finals? This is what its come down to?
Mitch is not this dumb..it wont happen..the K Brown ship has sailed out of LA...he will never be back.
Fans who want this bum back on the team would be crying for weeks when this guy destroys a playoff game,in 5 minutes this bum would lose 2 balls out of bounds,get 4 fouls,miss 2 free throws,drop 3 passes,miss a lay up and throw the ball away. Thats how bad he is.
Remember the game last year where the fans were "laughing" everytime that bum dropped the ball,it was like 5 times in a row. He is a joke. |

Yup, it's official now. I mean, the Grizz traded Pau for Kwame's contract, not the player himself. :/
Kinda sad, but that's business I guess. And now they have enough money to sign Marc Gasol... I wonder if he'll take Pau's old jersey # while in Memphis?  |

| Kwame needs to lose weight first. I prefer the skinnier Kwame who could actually get off the ground to dunk. He seemed more motivated and explosive. |

I don't have a big problem with Rush and Jones. However, they are both one dimensional players who are just shooters that are pretty inconsistent. For that matter Jones shoots about the same % as Lamar from the 3pt line and does not have the other skills of Lamar (assists, rebounds). In other words how would they improve the team? |

He has a huge body, thats the reason he can body up with most of the NBA bigs.
with kwame on court, it would be like playing 4 vs 5 on the offensive side.... |

| Yeah Kurt Thomas is more realistic than Diop, who's settling on Dallas now. Otherwise take Kwame Butterhands for a $20. |

U sure he bigger then MBenga? Benga got one of the biggest sized heads in this league.
We dont need Kwame really unless he is cheap, or he indeed got his transformer surgery done to become kwame-tron where he will be the perfect back up center to slap other bigs around for us. |
