Nothing more I want to say, as I wouldn't want info moving to other boards and a trade with some serious legs, trashed before it happens. |
That has to be Steve Francis |

Not sure about that. How many players were involved in the Miami, Memphis, Boston, Utah, New Orleans deal in summer? 13? |

It might be Steve Francis, if his name was coming from left field and was shocking. But I believe we've been talking about that, for a couple of days. |

KG 
Mitch can't pull of a trade for a superstar, let alone an franchise player like KG.

WHat did they say at CL?? Link? |
There were several people talking about Francis and TMac, I did my best to stop them so they don't ruin it for the rest of us. I kept posting "Lock this Thread", and people were saying that I was personally attacking them so they locked the thread. |

Actually, a name that comes to mind for me is Paul Pierce. He's been considered to be on the block for a while now off and on.
It would certainly be out of left field, and there would be a question as to whether or not he and Kobe could co-exist. |

Umm...did he? He didn't because he can't. However, that's not his fault. We all know KG is unrealistic.
There's a reason why Mitch is bashed and hated. Don't act like he just signed a superstar or something.
We can hope....but I think most of us know that nothing will happen...with Mitch running the show.

Yes, but there was a guy saying that he got "privelaged" info from the skybox overhere that there was a 3 team deal to get T-Mac. If that is so the guy should have just kept quit. I for one think it is BS, but if there is even a 20% chance of that being true, then everybody should stay quiet until something happens. |

Ofccourse it won't.
Hell will freeze over before Mitch can deliver. So why people even get caught up in this - especially the ones that hate on Mitch all day - is beyond me.
MK can't deliver lemonade to a man dieing of thirst is what I read around here.
Now you expect a big name to drop here?
Sure .... |

Because there are mutliple bosses in the front office.

No, Mitch would, in fact, deliver lemonade to a man with severe dehydration, when, in fact, the man needed a gatorade and maybe an IV with electrolytes.

guys its obvious. i really think its paul pierce. his contract fits in with the plan. aslo, based on the espn thing you can do a 1 for 1.
imo pierce can be an ahole but i'd take him over lamar any day.

Smokecreens have become a large part of Mitch's gamplan. And im hoping that the 2007 plan was a smokescreen.
Here's why the 2007 plan will not work--
It cant happen in 2007 because someone decided to extend Brown.
If we trade Odom to make capspace we would be trading the guy who initiates the offense, rebounds better than anyone on the team, and is willing to play second fiddle to Kobe.
If it does happen with this current roster it would be the 2008 plan......
kobe is 30....Phil has to be extended.... and whoever the lakers acquire must be taught the triangle from scratch.
So, im hoping the 2007 thing was a smokescreen. Maybe it is. KG HAS to want out. He has davis next to him. KG will be missing th playoffs again..... then next year, sadly, he will only be older.
What if the whole 07 plan was BS? What if the Laker orgaization is trying to land KG or some other good big? Duncan is untouchable..... Shaq, well it won't happen......Bynum, we alrerady have him...lol... KG makes the most sense.
And where would KG want to land?????
In LA he would be able to play with Kobe. His window of opportunity for a championship would be 5-6 years. If Bynum develops, even longer.
In the offseason, plenty of players would want to land in LA ( like Finley and Van Exel landing in SA for almost nothing last year)
Garnett will end his career as a Great. There is no doubt. But im sure at this point in his career he wants a championship.
lets get in Minnetsota's shoes for a sec....
they have an awesome peice in KG.
they have Ricky Davis, who seems to be playing good lately.
And a Laker-type roster after that.......
they want to move Jaric...... Hassel is a good defender for them.
The Lakers are in a similar situation.
The Lakers and Timberwolves can remain how they are, make the playoffs 2 out of three years, and waste their superstars in their primes....
This sounds a lot like Philladelphia with Iverson.
The Lakers will not move Kobe. However, i think the Timberwolves will deal Garnett within one year. Superstars have to AT LEAST make the playoffs or they will be fed up. Allen Iverson makes the playoffs. Garnett doesnt.
Minnetsota will not have to worry about dealing KG to the west because if they choose to do so, they will be on rebuilding mode anyways. By the time they plan to be good enough to earn a top 5 spot in the west KG will be around 35-36 years old and declining.
I believe it is possible.
PS-- I wonder what was going through KG's mind as Kobe scored 81 points in one night..... Maybe he thought very deeply thet night....... |
Get Francis and/or someone else and maybe we could tempt them...it would have to be with Brown and others...but it never hurts to try does it??? |

well i know buss has saved alot of money right now. but how useful would brian grants contract be right now. i mean i know he would have 1 more year left but it still could be used in massive trades for teams wanting to get rid of long term deals and have there own 2007 plan in place not to mention vlades 5 million
that would be an addtional 20 million to make a splash with |
