All players named are the reasons we are referred to as a soft team. Dr. jack ramsey repeatedly questioned the laker coaching staff for not playing Ariza instead of Walton. He also stated Lamar Odom acted as if he was lost and had no focus. I wish we could trade him for Artest and add Posey as well. If not Posey a sign and trade for Carl Landry a young up and coming star from Houston. Houston is trying to bad mouth him to keep teams from making an offer. They added to draft picks that play the same postion. they can't afford all of them. Also Anthony Randolph golden states pick wanted to be a laker so bad he said in his interview. Why not try and come up with some trade proposal to get him he is extremely talented and would be a future piece in our rebuilding. 6'-10" and can ball!!!! Don Nelson is going to let him sit and sit like he did brandon wright fro North Carolina another talent. Sign and trade Sasha V. for Randolph trust me long tuerm we win. This kid I'm telling you can balll!!!!!!!!!! This Laker fan who wrote the above overall wrongs on this team covered everything. All players named are the reasons we are referred to as a soft team.

If we can't unload Smush Walton and Vlad Moronovich then they must assume the Ira Newble and Coby Karl positions on the roster. How did we ever sign Luke to a six year deal? He should take a pay cut to the minimum salary level. The Laker management made a major blunder in not tearing up the Space Cadet's contract when he broke his shoulder snowboarding and then he lied about it. It may be time to pull the plug on Lamar. We been talking about his "potential" for four years now. Outside of one quarter, his performance in the finals was pathetic. The only way I keep him now is as a reserve. He is just too inconsistent to be counted on any more. Definitely time to pull the plug on some guys.

At least JJ can defend much better than this guy and a consistent shooter but ANYBODY BUT VLAD.

We would have to take Kenny Thomas' bad contract to make the salaries work. I think there is like 2 years left on his contract. The Question is this. Let's say Bynum never returns to his same form and has a chris webber type injury. Would you rather have Odom at small forward or artest? There is only one way Sac would trade him to us.
