OK, seriously the Lakers need to go get CDR back!!!
I never understood that move to cut him. And especially now that Meeks is struggling and Ebanks is out getting DUIs (I know it was "just" one, but that's one too many!!), it would be awesome having a reliable bench scorer. And it doesn't hurt that CDR is 25 and will be on a minimum contract.
49 points in D league?! OMG OMG!! Yeah, lets get him back. Better yet, I know some street ballers that can score 50 on high schoolers. Lets give them minimums. DO IT MITCH!
D League is far superior to HS ball, why in the Hell would you compare the two is beyond me...
Plus CDR has shown his talents well before this 49 point out burst. This just solidifies his talent.

I don't put much stock into D-League games either, but CD-R also scored 30 points in NBA games against two of the best defensive teams - LeBron and the Miami Heat and Tom Thibodeau's Chicago Bulls.
We should cut EBanks and get CDR back. CDR has more handles than Meeks and can play pick and roll in this league as a creator. He will take a lot of pressure off our backup "PGs" and Meeks, and will come in very handy when we have those 12-15 point leads in the second and third quarters and we cannot afford to let teams catch up on us too quickly in order to keep the minutes down on our starters.

We still have to pay him and it doubles in the luxury tax which the Lakers don't want to do. So they would rather move a contract like Blake or Duhon than do that.
I didn't realize he could take ball across the floor so easily in transition. That's a big plus for an fast break team. It would be great having another guy to play in crunch time that could play D as well as create a shot for himself. Who was the last guy that could do that consistently for L.A....
Farmar? Not really.
Brown? The pull-up and chuck
Lamar? Somewhat...

It's not my money, but the Lakers just cut Mike Brown who is paid millions more.
Blake is the focus. If Mitch can deal two players, say Earl Clark and Steve Blake for a similar level player (maybe Alonzo Gee), then there would be roster flexibility and a little bit of savings to make a deal.
There is 3 million reasons that the team doesn't do that.
We were smart enough to cut our losses with Brown for much more $$ lost....why not with Ebanks (for a good backup player....CDR)? If we wait I guarantee another team will grab him.

He can score in this league.
Thank you for posting these videos. I'd actually seen them before, but there are obviously other posters here who haven't and assume all the CDR talk is based off one good night in the D-league
Why can't we sign and play cdr instead of meeks? CDR is the much better ball handler and shooter than meeks imo.
We need 3-point shooters, especially in D'Antoni's system.
Meeks career 3PT FG% = 36.8
CDR career 3PT FG% = 28.6% (highest season 3PT FG% = 32.6% which is still far below Meeks' career average).
What is Meeks shooting THIS season as a Laker?? Poorly and as a result I'm sure his career avg isn't 36.8 anymore. When will people realize, Meeks sucks? Make all the excuses you want. "He needs to play with starters." "He spaces the floor." How bout this 1, "He really isn't that good"
and no one is playing defense, but still he looks fluid.
Okay - at which point was no one playing defense? Those weren't a whole bunch of fast break points. Don't discredit a great job by CDR of getting off his shot. Was it NBA defense? It wasn't too different from what I see a lot of nights to be perfectly honest.
On another note - I really like the use of his size, handle and the assist! I really am pissed we let this guy go. _________________ Stop crying and start doing.
