Interesting are we perhaps trading Zu or is he there as a player development? |
I think the Lakers may have won the lottery.
Or maybe he's secretly a bomb coach and he's going to take over for Luke? |

How many bigs with an injury history do they need to have a complete set? |

I think what we're seeing here, is not only is a trade on the horizon at some point in the future. Not imminent, but between now and whenever, Tiago's presence mean a trade will happen in the future.
It's also a possibility that the FUX initiative (Foreign Union Exchange) has gone live now that we just may have representation from 3 separate continents at one position. |

Collection's not complete until the ultra rare Andrew Bynum shows up around the facility. |

And someone should ask Trudell if Tiago grew a few inches. |

I wouldn't read much into it. He's been making the rounds, hanging out with a lot of teams as, he put it, "a learning experience" to figure out what he wants to do when he is certain he can no longer play. He already has a standing offer from the Spurs for an off-the-court job so he's just networking. |

I like Trudell, but that's funny. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."-The Greatest |
