my guy just put up a triple double vs the clips.

no he is not known for being a great passer or anything. but the guys length(Kd-ish), athleticism, defense, shooting is PERFECTO for the lakers now and into the future once these old guys call it quits.

he is not a star player. he is not josh smith or rudy gay level. but those two have horrible fg%'s . and yes his fg% has dropped. but thats only due to the fact portland doesnt have a lot of guys on their team to take the defense away from him. so he's also chucking 2 more shots a game. those 2 shots are 2 more threes.7 threes per is to many.
you pair this guy, with a superstar SG or a superstar PG that can score and pass. give him a post presence player (dwight). skies the limit.

you get him and you wont need another sf for a long time. since he's so young. come on 7-1 wingspan.. thats just what we're looking for.

they just signed him to a long deal and he is probably outperforming their expectations. They don't want Pau and we're not gonna get him.

come on, the magic wand carrying mitch has to put something together with 3 or 4 teams to get er done.

what would portland need in order to give up batum? i mean around the nba. and dont say anything silly like LEBRON JAMES. i'm saying what other position could they use help at where they would be willing to give up batum for said position? and what players?

thats how you figure out which OTHER teams you need to bring into the talks. cause maybe those teams do want something the lakers have. and if portland wants what those teams have. we might have a deal.

Your guy? The same guy I called having Pippen-like qualities when he got drafted?

What took you so long?

He's an even better fantasy player, sort of like a more perimeter josh smith

I think they'd prefer Earl, for contract and youth reasons
