Jones better than George? What? How? In what way?
As far as I'm converned point 1, 2, and 3 is Geroge is 10 times the defender JJ is, and twice the athelte. Stronger, faster, longer, and jumps higher. End of story.
Add in that JJ and Deaven have almost the exact same carear shooting percentage from 3. Are the same in terms of rebounding, passing, and dribbling, and it makes you wonder why anyone would say James is better. The word hater comes to mind.
And since when does Devean not know the triangle? He practically ran it by himself when he came back this year.
Oh yeah....Deaven is in his final year......JUST LIKE JJ IS! Oh wow....okay.....did I miss something? What are the chances of Jerome James signing a one year deal? JJ a jouney man who hasn't yet found a place to give a great contract (which LA won't) or Deavean who has spent his entire carear here, and just got paid a bunch. I don't know, I'm not gonna bank on JJ staying over DG, that's for sure.
Bottom line, yeah, Deaven has more trade value (cause he's a better player) and if we can get something worthwhile he's expendable, but in no way is he a worse player than Jerome James, when healthy. Deaven may have some injury troubles, but he is a long athletic player who has the potential on D to shut down guys like T-Mac, showed in the playoffs he can board, and stretch the D just like JJ can. Nothing more could be asked in back-up small forward.
And Luke.....Ha!......funny stuff.

DG may have more potential, but he has not proved it on the court that he is better than Jumaine. Ten points, 6 rebounds, no technicals DG; that is all we ask. You might try beating JJ in practice, if you want to play.

You can say what you want about Jumaine Jones, but hes proved to me last year that hes worthy of a spot on the team. |

| To me it seems that we'll have to get rid of most of our expiring k's in exchange for a player(s) with a contract that ends in '07. What free agent is gonna sign a 1 year contract with the Lakers next summer? As much as I think DG and JJ are better than Luke, to me it seems that we should keep the latter and get rid of the first two by the trade deadline. That way next summer we won' t be left with a bunch of empty roster spots 'cause there's no way were gonna get any solid players to sign on with us. |

Jumaine didn't figure out anything, and neither did any of the other Laker players that didn't have triangle experience "figure out" the triangle. They ran around with poor spacing and jacked up threes, even AFTER Hamblen took over as head coach. Give Jumaine credit for what he did, which was to bust his ass, shoot a career high from 3, and get show some rebounding tenacity. But there is no way on Gods green earth that he "figured" out the triangle last season and knows the offense. Nobody did ...
And Jumaine didn't "beat out" George for his position, George spent 67 games rehabbing his surgically repaired ankle.
Not saying that George is the second coming, but Jumaine Jones neither beat out George for his position on the depth chart NOR figured out the triangle last year.
