Hells yeah!

We need another veteran on this team more than anything. Not to mention another guard would be nice.

Bring Smush off the bench.

Go Lakers!

I'd do it.

If not JJ, some kind of stabilizing force off the bench (guard or forward).

Yes, I'd like it, too. Cut Slava and sign him or Spree or Penny, although Penny has much more health problems...

Yes,.. it's not like the Laker's current guard (excluding KB) are better than JJ...

I've seen some people here say he's a cancer... can anybody elaborate?

Also, based on PJ latest comments, sounds like LO might be playing in the post more...

Yes, it isn't like we have loads of choices. I think people are giving him the "cancer" lable because of his Dallas days and his inability to stay with any team for long. I would love other choices but I don't think the Lakers currently have any.

He's exactly what kind of guard the Lakers need right now.

This is what I see from out team.

We are 11th best in the league in Points Per Game 98.36%
We give our opponents 96.81 PPG 15 best in the league
The differential between that is +1.44 11th best in the league
Fg% is 11th best with 44.5%
Fg% of our opponent is 44.9% which is 14 best in the league.

I mean we talk about getting a guy like Jim Jackson, or Jon Barry and other guys, and we all make an argument that it would help us out scoring wise. Well here is another thing Detroit (who I think is tied now with the best record in the league?) PPG is 97.26, opponents PPG is 89.08, they have the best differential in the league (on the pluse side) with +8,17. They shoot 45.3% while keeping there opponents to 44.4%.

My point is not looking for someone to fit in our offense, I think we are doing fine. We need someone on the defensive end more than we need someone on the offensive end.

Can Jackson really be considered a guard?

He is pretty slow for a guard. I can't see him providing much defense on the PGs the Lakers will have to contain to go anywhere in the playoffs.

Phi seems to favor old players. I suppose it's worth a try.
