| I don't think we can offer enough to lure Smith away from Denver, I could be wrong. I think the more likely option would be a sign and trade, sasha being the most likely candidate, but i would rather have Sasha |

| I live in Denver and watch JR all the time. The Lakers do not want him. He's got tons of ability, but he's immature, doesn't listen to coaches and falls asleep on Defense. |

But without thread clutter, we wouldn't have new threads to make it seem as if there is action out there in Lakerland....

Great idea Dave!
I feel that we need to go after a veteran player. We have a very young team and one that lacks a ton of experience aside from Kobe and DFish. Kurt Thomas should have been at the top of the list, but unfortunately SA snatched him back up.
You may think I'm crazy, but I would go after Latrell Spreewell and see if he is at all interested in playing ball for less than $14mil a season. After Spreewell I would go after Bonzi Wells, Kareem Rush or Kwame Brown. |

The Lakers need a backup PF-C
1)Kwame Brown
Salary 2008: $9,379,279
2)Francisco Elson
Salary 2008: $3,000,000
3)Lorenzen Wright
Salary 2008: $3,250,000
4)Brian Skinner
Salary 2008: $770,610
5)Pat Garrity
Salary 2008: $3,818,750
6)Adonal Foyle
Salary 2008: $1,219,590
What do you think? The Lakers could probably get these guys for like 1 mil a year. Then, they could use their MLE to try and steal a guy like:
1)Josh Smith
Salary 2008: $2,243,543
2)Bonzi Wells
Salary 2008: $2,284,200
3)MO Evans
Salary 2008: $1,740,000
4)Michael Finley
Salary 2008: $3,103,000 |

Finley and Evans aren't available and Josh Sith is looking for like 10 mil a year and he would have to be traded for. I like pretty much everyone on the first list except garrity and foyle |

Sadly, the more I look at it, the more it seems like we're going to take Kwame Brown back.
But do we even have a chance at Elson? Because if we could...He's the type of PF/C we need; tough, decent defense with long arms, can finish better than Kwame -_- Plus, it doesn't hurt to have another international player with us (look at the Spurs, full of international players and they're a legitimate dynasty. Has to be something in their water). Elson's Dutch or something, I think.
I haven't done any research; what's Elson's situation? |

Francisco Elson would love to return to the Nuggets, where he played from 2003-06, as a free-agent this summer, according to The Rocky Mountain News.
"I would be very excited to have the opportunity to play in Denver," Elson said. "It's the team that drafted me and a place I call my second home. The fans have been fantastic, and I respect the staff, Coach (George) Karl, and the guys on the team are all still friends."
The Nuggets are reportedly considering Elson as a replacement in the paint for recently-traded center Marcus Camby, with Chris Andersen and David Harrison listed as options, as well.

| I would like to see us get Harrison if we have an open roster spot and we can sign him for a minimum contract. He has a huge body and I believe he could develop into a good backup center. And if it doesn't work put im in the D league or move him elsewhere |

| Brian skinner? who? Francisco Elson? Pat Garrity? it looks like KBrown is the best option and he is on the verge of signing with Atlanta, he made some work outs and the hawks seems to be pretty interested.... |

Just put a thought out there. Why not go after ryan gomes at power forward. He Is a free agent Last year he average 12 pts for minnesota & I remember he was the only one scoring against the lakers when we played them
other that Jefferson
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/ryan_gomes/index.html
http://www.nba.com/games/20071109/MINLAL/boxscore.html
also look at that box score at mihm. He scored 10 pts and 10reb I think if he is healthy, he could be our back up. he can post up hit that 15ft shot and make free throws. I was watching Kobe's 81pt game the other day on FSN and Mihm did pretty good he had 12 pts and 8reb third to only of course Kobe and Smushs 13pts. Also he can block shots
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/s ... ayerId=549
look at 05-06 season
Fisher/Farmar
Kobe/ Sasha(resign)/Karl
Odom/Ariza/Walton
Gasol/Gomes/Vlad
Bynum/Mihm/Resign Mbenga or Gasol |

| He's asking for an MLE offer from the Wolves.. Not sure if the Lakers would want to spend their MLE this year when they have to save some $$ for Bynumite. |
