Has Kelly signed? Some players take longer to develop than others, I think Wesley is one of those guys.. He is still growing as an NBA player. Glad to have him back on the Lakers.

Cool. Good for the minimum. He got a big opportunity last year in a fast pace offense and wasn't too impressive, but still good especially for defense. |

Good signing. He's worth a million for his defense. |

Good signing ... Wes is inconsistent, but when he's on he's on. If he ever puts it together like odom did he could be a valuable asset to a contending team |

WOW, just goes to show ya how Wes & X have not impressed others & we are resigning table scraps. I thought Wes would up his game, but another example like Marshall of not improving your weaknesses!!!
He's a heck'va jumper but very inconsistent!!! _________________ My Laker squad.

He's athletic and a good defender, so I guess it's a good sign. |

We better be running some showtime basketball. Kobe I guess will be our Kareem this season. _________________

I like the Wes signing, gives us much needed athleticism and defense. I think he'll start again this year at SF, shot the ball well last year from the 3. With Lin and Randle driving to the basket 80% of the time and when the defense collapse, he'll be able to spread the floor. |

I like him and i thought he would do better last year. Maybe he can kinda redeem himself playing along Kobe, if we dont sign another SF i think he just might start. Kobe will make sure he covers his ass on d, if he wants a good and long contract, that is. |

3 and D guy. That's all he needs to do. He's got the tools to do it well and I'm hoping having stability will allow him to be a more consistent player. |

Good pick up considering we aren't brining in any superstar. _________________ New Orleans Hornets superstar point guard Chris Paul is reportedly headed to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster trade. |

any player that is young and athletic getting paid the min is a good pickup.
Meeks going for $6M per year is quick high but good for him to get it though. |

Just focus on defense and get on that Ariza jump shot regimen prescribed by Kobe |

Have no problem with Wes returning. He had his best career year as a Laker last year.
Keep trying to become a 3 and D guy. |

At least we rebuild and then win some titles. Some teams are rebuilding for the last 50 years |

Bringing back X and Wes on the cheap is a good move. Both guys can help a lot at SF, in fact both shoiuld play regularly. Earl Clark weeps somewhere, Marion is obviously not coming. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |
