| No Kidd, for sure...Felton is younger than Terry, but IMO Terry is more talented than him. Maybe Felton as a long shot, and Terry for one year. But all these ideas will be just smoke if we can´t trade Vujacic, Farmar, Walton...and it looks very difficult to me right now. |

Omar is pretty much right on here. Even if Odom signs on for less (say $8M instead of 11.4), that puts at $81M. (I am assuming the FO will decide not to pick up Sun's option for about 800K. Then we need to sign Ariza, Powell, DJ, and Brown. We're probably looking at like $9M, putting us at $90M.
With the cap likely to be lowered this summer, that puts an even greater LT crunch on Buss, who already stated ticket prices will not go up next year.
The only way I see anything happening is if Kobe opts out and re-signs for SIGNIFICANTLY less, which I SERIOUSLY doubt he will do. If I were him, I'd keep my current contract and I expect him not to opt out.
It does bring up the possibility that Odom will simply be waived this summer.
Who knows, if we win it all this year and the season tickets are renewed early, anything could happen.
As usual, Kobe controls the destiny of this team. |

Last season he led the D-League in scoring, averaging 25.6 points per game. In just his fifth game with the team on December 21, 2007, he tied a league record with 51 points in a 118-116 victory over the Austin Toros. Later in the season, he broke the record with a 53-point performance against the Bakersfield Jam in a 102-87 win. This season he is averaging 24.5 points per game and shoothing 52% from the field in 30 minutes per game.

Almond Tops His Own Scoring Record:

He's wearing number 24...........
Just think if Kobe were his mentor  |

| lol, no way are the lakers going to buy out Sasha's contract. I really haven't heard of any team doing that, unless the player is an absolute cancer. Like Marbury. |

I'm going to be nice, lets give Sasha till mid January. If he doesn't get it together by then, then we get rid of him. I'd get rid of him now too, but i don't think its possible, doubt there will be any takers.
As for this Almond guy, great find Nay, keep finding nice young guys we can possibly go after. This guy is good. |

Trade Adam Morrison and Sun Yue for a veteran with an expiring contract, then buy out that players contract the same way Denver did Antonio McDyess after the Chauncey Billups / Allen Iverson trade.
Rumor has it that the Lakers FO is disgusted with Sasha Vujacic........ So if its possible, buy out his contract. If no other team wants Sasha, he can always go play pro ball in the Euro League......... But we need to consider Almond since he will come with a cheap price.  |

Get rid of Sasha?
And how do you propose that?
I've heard f no team INTERESTED in Sasha, so how do you get rid of anyone that isn't wanted.
Buy out on a 3 year contract? That you still have to pay luxury tax on?
Why on earth would you do that?
Sasha does have his head screwed on wrong for some reason. But i think he is salvageable.
He still plays hard pestering defense. It's just his turn overs and attitude on Offense were keeping him off the floor.
Something else is going on with this kid, and I stress KID. Which I think makes him salvages.
He's not playing bad because of a lack of effort like vlad was. He's just got some issues with priority, and knowing his place on the team.
Granted, IF the lakers could get something better, of course trade him, but trade options don't seem likely so you gotta work with him, and at least raise his stock so you can move him.
He's such a deadly shooter when he's on it would be a shame to give up on him before giving him the chance to reflect and seek help. He'd be an idiot not to want to tag along with this team.
My bet is it's girlfriend or Posse issues, inflating his ego.
Anyway, the free agents the Lakers need to sign are already on the team, just need to sign them.
The only issue that the Lakers need to resolve by mid season at the latest is getting quicker at the point.
Dispite all of Fishers heroics, and I love the guy for them, he's still a liability against all the quick point guards who are going to be one year better next season.
I think Shannon brown could be that guy. I think he's quick enough, he just needs to learn the Offense better. Any other PG is going to be too expensive for us.
Farmar's contract ends after next season, so that might be attractive, and honestly there are plenty of teams that would like to have Jordan, and I really think he could blossom on a faster running team.
Who ever they have as back up PG, they only need to be able to do 2 things.
1. Quick on Defense
2. Not turn the ball over.
Lets face it, most guards can make a shot if open, so I'd not be too worried about that.
Fisher can still play, but he needs big help on the little water bugs.
I just keep coming back to Shannon brown. He's already familiar with the offense and is hungary to learn more. Great athlete, great attitude, and smart.
What more could you want to succeed fish? |

Stay sick of it if you want to but thats my G dam opinion......... And yes trade Morrison. He has an upcoming expiring contract. Someone will be interested. Remember Kwame Brown and his expiring contract?
Im not saying we can get a star for Morrison, but just a veteran with 1 year left on their contract. |

Its not like he cant go back to his country and play pro ball or play for a team in the Euro League. We have already proved that we dont need him anymore to win a championship. |

Its not like he cant go back to his country and play pro ball or play for a team in the Euro League. We have already proved that we dont need him anymore to win a championship.
As for you back, you are free to say what ever you want it's a free county, I just challenge you to make statements that make sense. If your jus speaking on pure emotion and you are just saying you'd generally like to see Sasha leave, that is one thing. But if your having a serious discussion try and make sense.
IT's not like 12 million is just hanging around on trees for the Lakers to "buy out" sasha. Maybe you don;t realize how much money that is. You do understand that they pay the players with revenue they generate? Which means they spend money based on their given budget. They are already way over the salary cap and have to pay a huge luxury tax. AND even if you buy out a player it still goes against your salary cap.
Business wise a buy out for any player is an extreme and horrible business move, especially in these hard economic times.
The Marbury situation was a PR move, and Sasha is FAR from being a marbury like cancer. Sasha simply is not performing and need to get his head together.
While the Buss family is rich, the amount of money they spend on this team already huge and is always a risk. I think maybe you need to come down to earth a little and realize being rich does not mean you have an endless supply of cash. If they did every position the lakers have would be held by an allstar.
To argue Sasha's worth. I said it before, I think he is salvageable, at least salvageable enough to make him attractive to other teams by the trade deadline. |

Why not go for iverson?
just a thought...but y not give it a shot at least for 1 year since thats all he wants too? i mean sure he shoots alot but i think that hes the type of person we need for the bench "mob". i mean no one on the bench can create their own shot except for odom, thats if he signs, and the bench looks lost at times. i mean he's also willing to take vet's minimmum which wouldnt hurt us. idk but its just a thought. maybe my friend is right. he and artest together would give too many headaches lol hey its not a crime to fantasize though  |

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.
Are you insane?!?!?
1st of all... our team isn't that young anymore since we lost ariza for artest. Plus if we resign Odom, he's not exactly a young player. We do not need anymore veterans.
2nd of all... Latrell Spreewell for 14 mil a season??? He's not even worth being in this post.
And last but not at all the least... KWAME BROWN?!?!?! we finally got rid of him and now you want him back??? |

Nah I would never approve to signing a Celtic. Once a Celtic, always a Celtic |

You are new, so just a pointer. Not usually a great idea to resurrect a post from a long time ago to quote (I had to go back a year to even find it). It makes your point sort of nonsensical. Further, I have to believe that the mention about Sprewell was facetious. The guy lives under a bridge. He would work for food. |

FA Idea: Wally Szczerbiak
What do you guys think? I believe we still have our vet's min left. Would he take it to join us and make a run for the Larry O' Brien Trophy? He's still a great shooter and still shows flashes of his Minnesotta days. He's a definite upgrade over Sasha and is way cheaper. What do you guys think? Sign Wally, ship Sasha. |

Of course, man! I'd take Wally anyday. |

Check this out:
http://www.sculu.com/lakers-free-agency-wally-szczerbiak-34343/ wrote:
One of the Lakers problems last year was bench inconsistency. Sasha Vujacic, who was one of the top backups in the league in 2008, lost his shooting touch for the entire season and saw a huge decline in minutes. Vujacic was Kobe Bryant’s backup, and it is very important for Kobe to be rested for the playoffs. Wally Szczerbiak, at 6′7″ has the ability to play SG and SF. He is a top notch shooter, and also has the ability to post up. If the Lakers can get him for the veteran minimum, I think it would be a great move in bolstering roster depth and increasing the chances of a repeat.
I couldnt agree more. I certainly dont expect anymore moves, but I hope Mitch at least considers getiing a cheap, reliable, or at least an upgrade at the backup 2 spot. |

| In a way, I kind of agree with lazz. If Wally is so good, then why is he still a free agent? Sure, there were reasons for his $13-million contract, but there are probably better, more reasonable reasons why he doesn't have a team right now. Though I'll agree that he is still probably a top notch shooter, that is really the only thing good about him, just a one-dimensional shooter, who in fact is older than Sasha (I think Wally is like 31 years old or older). I want to replace Sasha, but for someone who is more consistent, Wally is inconsistent and at least Sasha plays some type of defense. |
