Marcus Fizer: 36 & 11

I know it's the D-League, but those are still impressive numbers. Don't you think someone like him could help out? I know he's undersized, but he I think he could play some PF against most teams, just off the bench. He can score and board.

Anything would be better than Kwame at this point. I can't believe we gave up Caron for him....

We need a PG more than we need a PF. I can't stand to watch Smush anymore.

Phil isn't a big fan of playing undersized players in general. If he had Fizer, he'd find a spot for him if he had to, but as far as going out and signing him in hopes of getting into the rotation..I'm not so sure. The only way Fizer were to hang would be this... if George didn't resign, and Fizer could hit a jumper here and there I'd consider him as a backup SF. He is too small and not a dominant rebounder at the 4 spot, and sadly would be an upgrade over Luke this year. Thats the only way I see him being a Laker, and that's not much of a chance though.

I know I'm being a broken record, but I still think we should try to get Tim Thomas, the 6-10, 240 lb. forward witht he low-post game that the Bulls are buying out.

Yeah, maybe NJ has the inside track, but what have we got to lose? Half of an MLE that Mitch isn't probably going to use otherwise? If we're paying Kwame $8M and all he supposedly does is D, with no shred of a fragment of O, why not go after Thomas for a fraction of the price?

FYI regarding Tyus Edney. He has been MVP of the euroleague I believe (numeous times) and he has led his teams to championships as well. I have heard that NBA teams have not offered the money he is making over there...not sure how true that is, just saw it at http://www.bruinzone.com a while back.

I would love to see him back in the NBA.

You might as well go after "Pig" Miller also, he's averaging 28 pts, 15 rpg, 4 ast, 3 blks, and 2 stls per game @ the Philippine Basketball League :roll:

Wow, trading big for small with Washington AND getting raped. Only Mitch folks...

Sure Fizer could help this team. A lot of players could, but Mitch isn't going to do anything to help this team. He has done his part by trading Caron away and using MLE real wisely the last two years.

Remember: The Lakers had the star PG from the developmental league. His name is T. Brown.
