Probably yes. Anyway they didn't need an offensive weapon, but a thought defender imo. That's why Olowokandi.

That's what I'm saying...But Olowokandi is inconsistant and has proven to be a player you can't always depend on...Hopefully it works out for Boston, I like their team, but they're not gunna be as good as they could have been with Ricky, Pierce, and all the young talent they had surrounding them. I still think they're gunna make a run for the playoffs, and hopefully they can add to their young talent with that pick they acquired...But overall, this trade wasn't that great for them...Shit, I woulda traded Chris Mihm, Devean George, AND a pick for Mark Blount and Ricky Davis (minus Justin Reed & Marcus Banks)...Overall, that woulda' been better for Boston than the trade they made with Minnesota...Imagine the Lakers with the (real) 6th man of last year coming off their bench...Shit would be awesome, I think Boston coulda' gotten more for Ricky D...PeACe

Well Szczerbiak did a ok job for not expecting to play last night he got the Celts good outside shots when they needed them and im hoping Kendrick Perkins or Al Jefferson would get the starting center position by next season if Olowakandi keeps playing like he was in Minnesota this season. I was definetly hoping for a descent power forward to come by sometime this season but i really didnt think making a trade that involved Mark Blount was a great idea. Minnesota got a great deal out of this but hopefully Minnesota doesn't make the playoffs this year so we get semi-good or good rookie talent next season.

Mihm? Naw, he's the only Lakers who scored at least 10 points in the last 8-9 games.. He's playing very well now. But yes, i'm def a fan of Ricky Davis and i'd like to see him in purple&gold.

Al Jefferson = Power Forward...Kendrick Perkins is good and all, but I think he needs a little more developing before he starts. For now, Olowokandi is more qualified, he's very capable of being a 10-8 guy every night, and with Perkins coming off the bench, that could be very effective...I think Lafrentz is also a pretty decent power forward, he could come off the bench for Al and hit some shots...Minnesota did get the best of the deal, but the Celtics DO have a pretty good team to work with...It is kinda scary to see the west improving though, with Sacramento and Minnesota looking like playoff teams again, that kinda leaves the Lakers in a MUST-WIN situation...While the west is getting stronger, the east is getting weaker...That means for Boston, especially in the atlantic division, they should easily have a chance at the playoffs now...And maybe they can excel from there, who know?

That's true. I wouldn't really wanna trade Mihm. I love his will to win and how he's currently playing is GREAT for the team. But I dunno if I'd pass up on Ricky D, he can be the key to us being respected contenders, he can be that second consistant scoring option the Lakers were looking for...I'd also trust Blount in place of Mihm, I like his game. Blount can easily be a 15-7 guy every night, so I'd trust him as our starting center, with Kwame, of course, filling in for him when he's sitting...But that's just something I thought coulda' worked better for Boston's benefit...I remember their fans wanted Mihm. Mihm > Olowokandi... I like how our current roster is looking though, I don't think ANY moves are neccessarry.
