Peter Vecsey says J O’Neal will be a Laker soon…

Jermaine O’NealPeter Vecsey came on NBA TV and announced that JO to LA in a few weeks.

Interesting stuff, we know management will now “do something, and do it now,” but will they get desperate and “settle” for a trade? We can only hope they can put together an attractive offer as Vecsey did not give us any details.

One thing I’ve noticed about Vescey is that he has broke many deals:
- Artest for Peja
- Harrington to GS
- Magloire to Milwaukee which NO denied and then made the deal.

It appears when Vecsey is giving strictly “movement reports” - he’s been very accurate. Something to think about… hmmm…

Here’s some quotes from his latest interview:

“I don’t want to play somewhere else, I really don’t.”

“Phil is the guy I lean on a lot. For clarity, for hope, and right now it’s no different.”

“Now looking back, it’s not that their competent, they had a long term plan.”

“If you wanna do something, do something now. Get this team turned around.”

“I can trust Phil, that’s all I have to go off of.”

“My problem comes in, tell me one thing, doing another. Blaming me for things…”

“I’m just happy the truth is out there finally.”

“Show me [the trust].”

“A phone call would help [on rebuilding trust].”

“I’d love to, I’d like to know what the hell is going on [on management getting together with him].”

“If there trust. . . I’m staying.”

“It’s not me [on wearing a different jersey].”

“I want to stay here.”

“Me & Shaq coexisted because of our killer instinct on the court.”

Jim Buss WOULD trade Bynum for KG if available!

heart.jpgJim Buss joined the Loose Cannons on AM570 for an interview this afternoon. In a highly anticipated interview, Buss stated that going into next season, the Lakers “promise big decisions will be made.” Among the rumors of players like Bynum being “untouchable,” Buss clearly stated that nobody - outside of Kobe - is “untouchable.”

He said he would trade Bynum for an All-Star like Kevin Garnett if available. Interestingly enough, Jim Buss brought up Garnett’s name when he stated this. Makes you wonder. . .

Buss went on to say, “we will go after a big name player this off-season.” However, it seems as if he believes that even if the Lakers do get another big named player, nothing is guaranteed and that the Lakers have a lot of decisions to make.

“Getting another big player, we still have to win or else it is a failure,” Buss stated. He also mentioned that he himself is a fan and is growing impatient; acknowledging Kobe’s prime is now.

It is clear he is very passionate about this organization and this interview revealed a lot of great things that can make fans smile a bit brighter in these dark days of the off-season. It’s now a fact that the organization will pursue a “big name player”come this off-season; even if it means giving up players like Andrew Bynum. It’s a fact they’re going to go for a “big name player,” now the question is will they get Garnett? Let the speculation begin. . .
