| all of us on this board should stick to the saying "I'll believe it when I see it.." otherwise some people are going to be mightily disappointed if nothing happens...trust me I was hoping big time last season and no deal happened til the offseason...so just take all these rumors as grains of salt until any of them come to fruition... |

I'm not sure why the Lakers would want Flip Murray, but the original trade, bringing in Lewis and Boozer, I could live with.

| I could live with just Rashard Lewis. He is a scorer and a good defender. I just don't know how Phil would use him. |

I think they were thinking of a Lewis for Odom trade. If that is so, Murray would be added to close the gap in salary. Lewis makes less than Odom.

They'd play off each other similar to the way Kobe and T-Mac played together in the All-Star game, except Kobe would be more aggressive offensively. Kobe would play more facilitator, and set up Rashard for a lot of easy baskets. Who would teams double team? Either one of them can score like crazy. I think it would be both effective and entertaining to watch. Kobe and Rashard would be one hell of a duo. |

More often than not. it's the trades you NEVER hear about that go through...
Why is that?
Because teams leak FAKE reports, known as "smokescreens" in order to hide other moves. Sometimes they use these smoke screens to hide there moves from other teams, sometimes to keep the media off there backs...
So if someone that you've never seen post here before and has no credability what-so-ever comes out and says "KG to Lakers", "T-Mac to Lakers", Boozer and Shard to Lakers"
It's either BS to begin with OR smoke...
I have heard so many rumours this past week, I don't know what to do... But, I just wish people would really think about them and think why another team would send us those players and what is in it for them, why they may be on the block, etc, etc. |

Oh yeah, we could send Lamar to Orldano, Stevie to Houston, T-Mac to the Spurs and We can get Timmy... My best friends sisters hairdresser said that her boyfriend heard it from a guy who's friend knows an agent in the NBA... They said it's official and they're just going to work out fillers later to make the money work...

Dr Buss rule number 1. Never pay a non-superstar superstar money. No matter what he brings to the team.
We can talk stats all you want but Boozer never was and never will be a superstar.
But he is making superstar money.
 Boozer

Odom can easily be dealt.
Infact, I hope he is.
The problem is that he Lakers want something really big for Odom and it's going to be hard to get that.
So I'm with you on this much. I hope LO gets traded this season. Because I know that if they made a trade like that - Phil giving up his SF LO mid-season - something huge is coming back in. I said the same thing a month ago.
I'm with you on LO getting traded, Bounty. Just not for the guys that you are willing to settle for (Francis, Marbury/Frye etc). |

| For Dr. Buss fantasy is reality. Worthy with Magic and Jabbar; Shaq with Kobe... it all makes sense. Laker fans around here complaining and wanting trades right now are just being ignorant. Buss will get another superstar to play with Kobe. In Laker history when there has been one hall of famer, there has always been another one along his side. We arent going to get Shard and Booze. We are getting a player like Kevin Garnett. Jerry wants the best team that he can get and nothing will stop him from doing so. Although the Lakers should have gotten Dwayne Wade 2 years ago or maybe Dirk in the Shaq trade, Laker fans need to remember that although KupKake is a dumbass, the people around him are not. Lakers will be back on top within the next few years. Lets just put this question out there.... Would you rather have Rashard and Booze now, or get a player like Chris Bosh or KG in about a year??? |

WP- I have made it clear Francis is not my first choice and have always said another needed to involved. marbury never came off my fingertips. Frye with the right circumstances yes. HOWEVER LO IMO is not getting the type of player people think UNLESS it is someones salary dump or headcase |

Yeah, and then Cuban would have re-signed Nash and the Mavs are instant contenders who would be beating the Lakers in the PO's every year for the next 2-3 years.
Wade wasn't tradable. They valued him like we do Bynum - probably more - and if they were going to part with him it would have dragged on for while.
With Kobe's impending FA decision, that's a luxury the Lakers could not TAKE. |

You may be right. That might be where his value is.
But I don't see the Lakers trading him for that kind of package.
All-Star/Superstar IMO or No LO trade. Especially this season.
Let's see what happens. |

How would the Lakers with Dirk Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant lose to a Mavs team that had only Steve Nash? There wouldnt be another superstar on Dallas besides him. Heres some simple math--- Kobe+Dirk> Steve Nash |
