Comments on: Pincus: Rumors - Laker Blockbuster Unlikely http://thelakersnation.com/blog/2007/12/28/pincus-rumors-laker-blockbuster-unlikely/ The #1 Source For Everything Lakers Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:16:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: RitchQB http://thelakersnation.com/blog/2007/12/28/pincus-rumors-laker-blockbuster-unlikely/#comment-20849 RitchQB Sat, 29 Dec 2007 19:24:35 +0000 http://thelakersnation.com/blog/?p=1854#comment-20849 Conventional wisdom would say that the Lakers would be crazy to trade for either J-Kidd or Jermaine, especially given how great the team has been playing. No way we give up AB now and for what, a past-his-prime point guard and an injury prone 4? Still, it would be intriguing if the Lakers could pull it off without giving up too much. I would give up Jordan and Kwame for Jermaine, but no way would I do the same for Kidd. At least Jermaine would give us another front line guy to go up against the Spurs, Mavs, Jazz, etc. Conventional wisdom would say that the Lakers would be crazy to trade for either J-Kidd or Jermaine, especially given how great the team has been playing.

I wouldn't want to trade for him anyways. I don't want to give up any of our young players and disturb our team chemistry. We're better off, most likely, he'll stay with the Nets until he's a free agent next summer and then he'll sign with another team. If he decides to come to the Lakers then, he'll have to take a small paycut. Who gives a {Profanity isn't allowed on theLakersNation.com -- Please go back and edit your comment. Thank you.}?

Waste of a lottery pick still. Btw, if Noah practices flopping enough he’s the next Varejao. Waste of a lottery pick still.

Everyone thinks Kidd is to old and overrated. that may be true but a few good things Kidd brings to the table 1. If kidd is our starter fisher is our backup which means a full game of veteran pg leadership( having a heady floor general leads to success in the nba 2. Kidd can help mentor crit for the next two years, imagine crit with all his skills plus the tutoring of kidd and fisher, that my friend will be priceless. so in reality we get Kidd for 2 years and a more developed crit sooner then expected. 3. Another veteran player that can help keep Kobe from exploding and possibly staying with our franchise longer then 2 more years. Look at what fishers presence has done thus far. 4. Defense, we get burned way to much by speedy pg, Kidd may not have a great jumpshot but he’s a definate upgrade in our post game. he can dominate in the post which can really be effective for our team especially bynum who can get a lot of put backs. 5. Lastly he can help us draw more nba vets who might want to contend, after acquiring kidd we still will have a lot of players we can deal…. think about I for one wouldn’t mind getting Kidd, but i would prefer Artest.
