Who do you think we could get for Mihm?

^Me too. I think this team is just starting to play up to its potential & maybe we should first observe how this young team will play out the last few weeks of the season. I've been down on Mihm the past few weeks, I seem to forget that he did give us a good stretch, steadily improving on his game before he got injured. Having Mihm, Brown & possibly Bynum could give a lot of teams problems in the playoffs, where defense will be at a premium & that's when we'll realize that we can never have enough bigs.

I do realize that Mihm is one of our few tradeable pieces that could help us balance out the roster & we do need a low post threat since Kwame's offensive game isn't coming along as well as his D. With that said, a Mihm/fillers for Boozer trade or possibly Nene (S&T), after the team's needs have been evaluated, sounds like a move worth considering not only for the Lakers, but the other teams as well since Mihm IS a decent starting-caliber center.

i am not for boozer's toxic k at all. if you give me those two options, i keep mihm.

i think some of us need to review the game plan is and get on the same page because i think that either some 1) forget the arc that the rebuilding process takes or 2) never knew it in the first place.

to be honest, i like mihm more than tyson chandler for this team. i just feel we need more post scoring that just a guy who rebounds and defends(kwame is kind of filling that role now)

You guys forget that Mihm's shoulder is still bothering him, hence his limited minutes recently. He played very solidly for us when Kwame was struggling big time and Odom was giving us little in the paint. When Mihm gets healthy again, let's see how he does with a more effective Odom and Kwame.

mihm would be better off traded in a package to get more of an impact player like boozer or with odom with rashard lewis.

Not to mention: the guy only makes 4 mil a year.

well here is an idea not sure if it would work. but take mihm,and a resigned george to new orleans for there 2 #1 picks. maybe we send them our charlotte 2nd rounders. only problem is would new orleans move there picks. if not both then jr smith and the pick rondo would be available

with those picks and ours draft

pg rondo. i love this kid i think he is exactly what we need could stay with anyone at the point and give them problems i think he ius a sure thing

pf millsap

pf taj gray

this keeps the cap room plan intact keeps us young. gets us the pg of the future and still gives us 2 guys that could be really good 4's.

a couple of good free agent moves and this team is on the way

Keep Mihm unless he can bring in a BETTER PF/C with size. For his salary, Mihm is a steal. Don't underestimate his heart, his desire to play here with Kobe, and his ever-increasing understanding of the triangle. Have you noticed lately how few fouls he's been picking up? The dude's seemingly turned a corner since the new year.

Mihm is sufficient at center and still getting better
unless an offer is put up for him that we cant refuse we shouldnt actively try to get rid of him

I dont want to see any moves that involves mihm unless we are getting a superstar anything else just takes us back to square one.

Mihm is still improving. He's an off the shelf starting center. Mihm's value is increasing.

well, if mihm's to be moved, hes certainly raised his value. hes proven he can be a good center and defensive presence. Im sure more than one team would loook at him. Question is, what do we expect in return?

Mihm and Kwame are a flawed fix for now. Mihm gives us cheap, servicable minutes until Bynum is ready. The way Phil gives Bynum minutes now, it looks like next year will hardly be much better. So Mihm is your center for offence, for at least the next year.

Kwame on the other hand plays defense, but probably couldn't beat me in a game of HORSE. Kwame is probably a better center than PF, and his value is more in his higher contract, being part of a tradeable piece for a big player.

If we trade either one of these guys, it had better be for a starting caliber power forward or point guard. Otherwise, hold on to them, keep learning the system and await further developments.

The best positive on Mihm is that he is reading the Triangle much better and is becoming a passer. That is just excellent to see. At the same time his low post offense has become suprisingly consistent.

The negative on Mihm is that he is not a very good anchor and when he is he ussually picks up too many fouls.

Sure Kwame plays better D than Mihm. who is better than Kwame offensively. Why trade Mihm? Perfect combo with Mihm and Brown. When and if Bynum is ready then you might look at trading Mihm, but until then no thank you. And to all those who say Bynum will be ready next season, are you sure?

He's a decent C (just cuz the center class is the worst). But if he works on his IQ to defend w/o getting so many fouls called he could be a 14/8/2 C
