Profit was part of the trade as well...Profit was a huge asset to the Lakers, he was the best at taking over and giving Kobe a rest. Nobody will know how much losing him this season hurt the team. The trade was basically exchanging 2 purely offensive players (Chucky Atkins & Caron Butler) for front-court toughness (defense, rebounding, blocking, etc.) & a decoy for Kobe (Kwame & Laron)...I still don't think the trade was bad. Imagine what a weak/small team we'd be without Kwame... :-\

--- Quote from: Now_Im_Blowed on February 14, 2006, 09:45:49 AM ---Come on, guys...Yea, he's been inconcsistant, but he doesn't suck, he's just that...Inconsistant. I admit, he hasn't become that beast like I wanted him to, but he's been TOTALLY serviceable for us, especially on the defensive end. I mean, he just had a game the other night where he put up 18 points on 6-6 FG and 6-6 FT along with 8 boards and 1 block. That just tells me he doesn't suck, he just can't always utilize his skill. Last night he had 0 points, but 8 rebounds and 2 blocks...How do you go from 18 to 0? That's his problem, he needs to stay more consistant, but in the mean time (other than his small hands dropping passes), he's been very serviceable...

Not only that, he needs to dunk when he gets up close. There were a couple of shots tht he missed where he easily could have just dunked it. The game where he had 18 points, that's because he was dunking the ball instead of shooting weak layups.

Exactly. It has to do with his small hands. He has no ball control when he goes up for a lay-up, it almost always looks like the ball slips out of his hands or he gets too excited and throws it way too strong off the glass.
shawn kemp was notorious for his small hands. he kept losing those dunk competitions supposedly cus he was huge, and couldnt even palm the ball. but he didnt have the problems that Kwame is having. Kwame just isnt that good man.

Are you kidding me? Shawn Kemp's hands are uncomparable to Kwame's. Kemp actually has control of the ball when he gors up for a dunk, I've seen him do SOOOO many power dunks with 1 hand. That is something Kwame is certainly incapable of...Not only does he have small hands, but he has FREAKISHLY small hands...Kwame IS good, he just doesn't stay consistant with his goodness. How can a player who's not good average 11 points and 8 rebounds at age 20? Kwame doesn't utilize his skill, athleticism, and/or talent 100% of the time...That's with it comes down to.
--- End quote ---
my point exactly. Kemp was ALWAYS known for his small hands. He was known for the fact that he couldnt even palm the ball. But yet he didnt have the same problems Kwame has. So...in conclusion (lol), dont blame Kwame's problems on the size of his hands. Blame it on the size of his talent.

LOL. You don't get it. The ball slips out of Kwames hands due to the fact that they are extraordinarily small (not like Kemps)...It's not due to his talent. You're right, he doesn't utilize his talent that often as well, but that's not the reason he has bad hands...PeACe

you dont get it lol. Kemp had extraordinarily small hands also. like i said, that was the big thing about him losing all those dunk competitions. What was Kemp? 6'10"? How many 6'10" players cant palm a basketball? He couldnt. Kwame just isnt that good is all. Its like sayin Ostertag isnt an all star....cus he has small feet. lol. No...its cus he sucks. Kwame sucks, period. Youre just defending him cus you kept pumpin him up before the season. And now, he's garbage. You were wrong about him, dont make excuses now.

LOL...I think YOU don't get it. Kwame still has athleticism/talent...He just doesn't utilize it often, and it's harder for him to utilize due to his small hands...Like those games where he was grabbing the ball and jamming rebounds with TWO hands, he couldn't miss a thing...Then the next game he goes back to going up weak with one hand...It's not that he sucks, it's just that most of the time he's lost and unprepared out there on the court, on the offensive end at least...PeACe
