Morrison should stay primarily because he really hasn't been given the chance to prove himself worthy of playing with this squad. Sasha on the other hand has gotten plenty of chances and he frankly has failed with the opportunities he has been given. Luke is not a go to player therefore he is replaceable and Brown is a good player that just needs more minutes, remember, defense is important too. Need to get rid of Luke and Sasha to pay Ariza what he deserves. Kobe will need to take less money to bring Artest on board. If that doesn't get you enough money for Artest then (and only then) you get rid or Morrison. Look….

If I was Kobe I would just take less too keep the team together. It’s probably going to come down to how much money Kobe wants. If I was Kobe I would just take less too keep the team together.

We need to get a good point guard we have too many already need to get rid of either Farmar or Shannon too much PG. And if Morrison doesn't get his shot back we need to get rid of him too.

Sasha and Luke I think both eat at least $10 million. If Mitch can do magic and get rid of both of them, then maybe we could have Artest, but this is a pipe dream at this point.
