well, i am for steve blake and fisher but never on farmar and browne. they're just too erratic. i hope they bring in raja bell too...i would also like to trade bynum for bosh...LA will be unbeatable then.
ReplyDeletehighly unlikely but I like the way your thinking. I think you make a good point with bynum. He is a little to injury prone for my liking.
ReplyDeletepicking up Blake is definitely a plus for them. He is more of the traditional type point guard, looking to set up your 'bigs' but able to make big shots as well.
ReplyDeleteBynum may be injury prone but no way you trade this guy bosch can't handle this guy in the low post, also bynum's only 22 got a ton of time, trading him would be a very bad decision.

ReplyDeleteRick U r sick Bosch 4 Bynum is crazy. Bosch is a 4 not a 5. Plus I agreed u got plenty of time to wait on Bynum. Blake is ok but it was still better point guards out there then him. U r talking the about the triangle offense, u do not need traditional point guard, u had 1 in Jordan Farmer. Raymond Felton,Will Bynum,& Chris Duhon just name a few are better suit for the triangle. Plus u keep Shannon Brown.
ReplyDeleteD Fish is the emotional leader of this squad...also keeps Kobe's feet on ground...I mean is Blake gonna handle Kobe's pressure to perform, and what about when he turns the ball over Kobe's gonna chew him out... not a good thing...D Fish was and is our little general, at least keep him off the bench.
ReplyDeleteBad Idea....Blake was a Clipper...never a take a clipper no matter how little time he spent there. bad karma!
ReplyDeleteLike the ol saying goes if it aint broke dont fixx it! stay with what got you there in the first place otherwise it's chicken today feathers tomorrow, keep the fish and lets 3 peat.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Kobe silent on the non-signing of Fisher? Without Fisher on the roster (bench leader or starter) the Lakers are toast! PAY THE MAN!!!!
ReplyDeleteIts an excellent fit signing Blake, he distributes the ball and can hit the outside shot. Remember they dont use the tringle all the time. He can do either. I agree keep Fisher, but have hime come off the bench. Or have Blake start the season on the bench and slowly allow him to work his way into the starting lineup. Either way Fish stays!
ReplyDeleteKobe and Phil need to speak up on keeping Fish. He is 2 important to let go. And Why would you trade Bynum for Bosh? Bosh is the same type of player as Gasol (not quite as good). We need size down low, not just length. Need to somehow trade away contracts i.e. Luke, Sasha, and dead weight Morrison (molester stache), Mbenga. Korver would fit the triangle if Lakers can free up some of that money.
