    Sources close to the situation contend James Posey would love to be a Laker and that the Lakers are willing to go the full exception to land him.

    Hoopsworld is mainly speculations but this might be true. I heard from RealGm's Lakers forums that Mags signed for 5 years with us, highly doubt it but possibility. Anything is possible.


    I much rather bring in Wells. His defense isn't Posey-like but he brings a toughness we need. Good to bump bodies with some guys. Sign a guy with the MLE and another with the BAE. We need two more role players, in my opinion.

    lol. Yeah. You're right.

    But, I think he's asking how reliable Hoopsworld is.

    Zo is a great Center but he's not what we need. Anyways, he might not come back and if he does he'll finish his journey with his team.

    Diop is what we needed but of course he knew he was coming back to Dallas. Cheaters. >_>.

    I'll look at the FA list and see what other center we can snag...

    We need to get rid of vlad if we get rid of posey. Someone might him because he is a shooter. And he is big. If we could trade him for varejao and then sign posey that would be good because we improve on some of our weakness and get rid of a bad contract. We are going to have to pay bynum a lot of money soon. Also farmar is going to need an extension in 2 years. We also have to pay sasha and ronny too. So we should try to save money everywhere.

    I agree that Mitch should try to make a Vlad Verejao trade cuz it also gives us flexibility if someone throws a bunch of money at Ronny

    No Varejao... We don't need another flopper. I really think if Vlad stops doing all the other things and just goes out there and plays like Vladimir he'd be helping us a ton. We need his shooting. That's what he did in Seattle. He's not doing it here. I guarantee if he shoots like he used to, you guys would love him.

    I have no doubt that we would but if he isn't performing then it might have something to do with his inability to perform in the triangle, though that probably isn't the case. Vlad should just spend the summer working on his 3's and next season we could have three of the top 3 point shooters in the league in Sasha, Vlad and Fisher, considering they actually train hard to get their shot going.

    Varejao does a lot on the court. He is a good defender and rebounder off the bench and brings toughness. Thats just what we need off the bench right?

    I think Varejao would be interesting here. I'm not sure if he would play well in the triangle but it would be interesting to see. Still, I'll take Posey any day.

    Space Balls it is known can not hold up under the pressure of being on a championship-caliber team such as the Lakers. This guy can only do decently when there are no expectations of him - best place for him would be Miami. There is zero chance that we will see anything different from last season from this addle-brained marshmallow - this is a prediction, and I know that I am right. Sure, if he suddenly started to be a basketball player, which he won't, at least not for the Lakers, then we would love him - what a discovery! Right now all we are doing is throwing huge amounts of money straight into the septic tank... Personally, I would even trade this guy straight up for a one-legged paraplegic Pygmy from the Ituri Forest.
