Mitch can rest. Job well done. You can now go on the well earned vacation.

“The championship is in the fridge, the butter is getting hard, the jello is jiggling …….”

Mitch and Jim Buss, the ‘Promise Keepers’ need to go out, celebrate, and toast to the upcoming season. They need to take a good look at this Laker Team, look at what they have done, and warmly accept there accomplishments with pride, and then,……. wave ‘bye-bye’ to Kobe.

As Jim clinks glasses with Mitch, toasting “Can you dig it? We lost two of the greatest players in the history of the NBA. God we’re amazing! CAN YOU DIG IT?!!” And Mitch replies, “And here’s to Bynum. Hope he turns out to be half the player Shaq was. Won’t that be something?!”

As tears well up in Jim’s eye’s. “Man, Mitch, You got to be one of the biggest ‘Butt Kissers’ I’ve ever met. And…and…I love you for it man”

Mitch quietly smiles and tells Jim. “Thank you Mr. Buss, its nice to be paid and appreciated for what I do best”

Jim takes hold of Mitch’s hand, looks him in the eye, says calmly and deliberately, “and of course, we all know who created this mess, don’t we?” Without hesitating, Mitch replies firmly, “Yes we do, Mr. Buss, yes we do.”

At this time, Jim loudly proclaims, “Enough of this silly stuff. Let’s go do some REAL Laker business. We got some Laker Cheerleader scouting to do.”

Mien,
Its the NBDL it wouldnt matter if he avg 30-40ppg and 20rpg. The talent level, size, speed, and physical ablities of NBA players is far greater in the NBA than the NBDL, its a whole new world.

At this point if its not a star player we get, whoever else we sign wont even matter Phil will play a nine-ten man rotation and that wont leave any PT for anyone else. Fish/Farmar or Crit(Depending how he plays), Kobe and Mo, Luke and Vlad, Odom and Turiaf, Bynum and Brown and Mihm. Those are the only players that are going to see “real” minutes. Everyone else we get or sign is really meaningless. Thats a 45 win team in the west (No way we win more than 50.) and a 6 seed and a second round exit if we dont play Suns or Spurs. I think lakers have a chance maybe not a favorable one, but a chance nonetheless to beat anyone else, Spurs or Suns not even the slightest.

He is just a camp invite. thats it. Teams do it all the time, they need extra bodies for training camp so they pay people to come. It is good exposure for him though. I say that, but I remember one year during the Shaq-Kobe era a player that was a “walk-on” in camp but ended up making the team for 1 year, though I don’t remember his name. But the roster is already at 14 players that have guaranteed contracts so the chances of Karl, Turner and Brown making the team are probably 0.1%

I almost misread the title too. At first I thought it said, “Lakers sign Elton Brand.” LoL.[/quote]
