We have to do everything we can to keep Crittenton and Farmar. Hell, that is our future backcourt, so I do whatever you can to keep them. As much as I would like to keep Bynum, if he is what is needed to get JO, then we should give him up, But I don't think we should give up 2/3 of our future away for someone we could probably get for much less next year. Ideal solution, lets see how things play out. Once Bird get desperate, he will be able to force his hand. And if not, JO will opt out, and sign with us. No, just trade Bynum, Brown and some fillers.

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 21:01:47 +0000 http://getgarnett.com/blog/?p=720#comment-10835 What are you talking about Farmer being a Steve Nash. There is another reason to put Farmer in that deal to get JO. Steve Nash he can't even get to the finals with best talent around him in the history of the game. That is the whole problem with the Suns they are still holding on to Nash. So I say ship Bynum/Radmonivic/Cook/Farmer/and a Firstrounder for JO (and possible Harrison or Granger). Indy is basiclly get almost a good team back in return. A good young center that is still learning, two very good shooters that play small forward, and a good point guard that is still young and ready to improve. Critt, we should keep him cause I see instant Ron Harper in him. Do you remeber Harper played for us he was amazing and smartt on the court. I say a :) Fisher/Bryant/LO/JO/Mihm :) line up will be a YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) What are you talking about Farmer being a Steve Nash. There

This is about Kobe playing in his 13th season with some vetern help. We will be lucky if we get to see Kobe play another 5 seasons. Most NBA players retire after 13 seasons. Get his Ass some Help and do it now. We cant wait for any developing to take place, L.O. included. L.O. is a waste. he has never truely developed into an allstar and I personally think he never will. Hes been hurt and has had to rehab just about every year hes played in this league. KOBE NEEDS REAL HELP NOW BEFORE HE CANT PLAY ANYMORE. Please ship them out today. Youve already wasted 3 seasons. How much more gambling with Kobes health and Future can we stand. Please get him some Help. This isnt about “Bynum having potential”.

Critt. Played well in the Summer League, but that's all what it is, Summer League. We don't know how he would perform against Nash, Parker, Wade etc. Besides, Phil Jackson doesn't like coaching rookies it took him all season to get Farmar "started". Let Critt. go, Lakerfan81,

The only KID I ever saw that had any heart was KB. That’s why he is who he is. When he would come off the bench not only he led the league in points off the bench but you see it in his eyes. He wanted it more than anyone else. Ship his @$$ out. And, while we’re at it, ship Cook out as well. If Bynum had any heart, we would not be having this conversation.
