4 games, man! We traded Butler for him, God!! Caron Butler!! I was expecting those numbers from Brown for 82 games, not just 4. 82 plus Play Offs. But he's starting to play better, expecially defensively, i gotta admit it.

Butler is an offensive-minded player...No way would I currently prefer him on the Lakers over Kwame. Kwame is our best defensive presence down-low, he's the only one who can keep up with the likes of Garnett, Duncan, Webber, Bosh, J. O'Neal, etc. Even when guards penetrate into the paint, Kwame and Mihm is a nice presence to have there. Plus, he has a lot of upside...Yes, he's a slow learner, but once he does learn, and once he utilizes those post moves he flashes every so often, he will be great...I just think we, as Laker fans, need to instill that confidence in him with faith...It's the main thing that gets him going, you don't know how much it means to him that Phil gives him these minutes and has re-instated him as a starter...He's young and once he gets his head straight, Lakers will be unfuckwithable...PeACe

I'm not saying we had to keep Butler. I'm just saying that when you trade Butler, a very good player (plus Atkins, but thank God we did it!) for a player you should at least expect decent numbers. The numbers are still not impressive, but his defence is growing, so that's enought for me to stop dissing him. He got my respect now. But he still has a long road to be considered a great PF.

Kwame is finally starting to get comfortable out there. One thing I liked about the last game was that he was going up to dunk instead of laying it up. He should do that all the time.

This is very true...He is way more efficient when he takes it up strong. He only got 3 shots last night, but the one he did convert was a dunk...Fuck the number 1 pick shit and all the hype, Kwame has been very solid for us down low, and though I did expect him to develop in LA a little quicker, he's at least a big part of why we're a playoff team. He's gunna be back to his 11-8 really soon, and will probably surpass that under Phil come playoff time...I just think he never gets any credit soley because of all the number 1 pick hype sorrounding him...It's not fair.
