Many Laker Fans want Kupcake to get up off his fancy desk chair and make a move to bring the Lakers back to their winning ways. Wether it's Kevin Garnett or Jermaine O'Neal or even Pau Gasol, one of them is on most of Laker fans minds. Our most valuable assets are Kwame Brown who has a expiring contract of 9M $ which every team would love to have the freedom of in just one years wait. We also have Lamar Odom who is another big contract we can use to pick up a star. We have Luke Walton who many teams would like to have but to me Luke is a vital part of the Triangle. We also have the #19 pick which we can either trade or use to pick up Tiago Splitter, or Nick Young, or my personal favorite Javaris Critteon from Georgia Tech. I think this pick is more valuable then most Laker fans think. This is a pretty high pick compared to what we are used to which WAS usually somewhere in the mid 20's. We could pick up a pretty good prospect The year '2007' was projected to be the lakers "big" year. The year something finally happens was what it was supposed to be. Mitch blew his chances of something like this happening by sigining Vladimir Radmanovic to a 5 year 30M dollar deal. This locked us up, as well as Kwame's Contract after he made one of his worst trades of trading the rising star known as Caron Butler. Mitch has screwed up many times and we are hoping that last year by signing Vlad Rad willl be his last one for a while, but only time will tell. In a recent interview, Larry Bird was talking about the possibility of trading JO, and what he would need to make the deal. Bird also screwed up this past season bu trading Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Saurunas Jackecisvius and Josh Powell to GS for a bunch of guys who are overpaid and who almost never have a good game. It's no doubt that the Pacers need a lot of help as well. When bird was asked if JO would return he replied by saying "You never know, I hope so. It's just a wait ans see approach. Anytime a guy like Jermaine is involved, you don't just give him away. You have to go out and find the best fit for your team. We'll look at everything this summer." These are not very promising words for JO espicially since Bird went on to add that he wanted an outside shooter who can create off the dribble.....Vlad? He can;t necsicairly create but he can shoot. He also said he was looking for a back up PG....Can we provide that? Mitch has his work cut out for him if he wants to return this franchise to stardom.

Listen, I'm new and I'm here to tell you all are hilarious. I've been reading this blog for the past 7 months and I was undecided onwhich blog to join this one or Lakers blog from los angeles times. Those guys down there are delirious. I'm 19 years old and I play baseball for my high school and was scouted as one of the best players in the state. I'm deciding on which college to go to Texas, or Michigan State. I'm an EXTREME kobe fan but I'am very realistic and don't say dumbass comments like trading kobe??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!! SHonuff18 you probably should take lebron's dick and nose out of your mouth. Kobe for lebron?? Listen I understand about the whole age thing but you must understand if the cavaliers were in the west they wouldn't even be a top 9 team. Let's be real they have a slow team and have inconsisitent parts. Kobe's ceiling is potential greater than jordan's, why? well because he is far more advanced offensively and he's still 28, remember everybody when a player reaches there prime it is around 30-35 depending on the player's work eithic ie. Kobe. He with the way his work ethic he can player and do the impossible for about 6-7 more years especially if and when the lakers add some more good supporting players around him. Lebron? lebron can potentially be another magic johnson but magic had a killer instinct where he knew how to take over. lebron doesn't have that and has admitted to it. You just can't get a killer instinct, you are born with it. He wasn't. Period. Bad news for lebron? he stuck in the begin stages of the kobe era, just like jordan, magic, Dr. J. There are always great players in legends eras and lebron happens to be another great player in the Legend: KOBE.
