The "we will miss you Slava Medvedenko" thread...

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Well, today an injured Slava Medvednko was cut from the Los Angeles Lakers in favor of a Jim Jackson signing...As many of you know, Slava was one of the few OG's remaining from the 3peat era. Though he wasn't the greatest athlete, he will be missed by the Laker fans...I wish him the best of luck, hopefully he signs with a fastbreak team where he can average around 15 points (he's capable of it)...The signing of Medvedenko was one of the last moves by Jerry West before he resigned as the Lakers GM...Here is a video in honor of Slava and his time spent as a Laker...

He will be missed but it was the right move. He hasn't played much the last two years.

Definitely was...He's been injured and wasn't expected to play this season...Mitch can still sign him next season if he wants, though I don't know if he can still provide much for us...

Nik, do you have info on Mckie Return ? Haven't heard about that  . Propz to Slava for being a good role player for us. Wish him the best

^^He could be done for the season...Might even be the end of his career.

Propz on the info, that sucks, would have brought some experience on the PG position, though Smush is doing a very good job (inspite of some mistakes) for his first real season. Sasha can hit the 3 but isn't solid on D and as playmaker yet

[Teddy Roosevelt]

^^That's true. But when there is a player that has been there through your glory days it's a little sad to see him go, regard;ess of who it is.  But is irrelevent now so it won't really affect the lakers now.

[Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It]

If Ronny Turiaf get's release tomorrow i'll miss him more then  Slava.

Ronny Turiaf>>>>>Slava

Mid 90's? That's more like Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel, Cedric Ceballos, etc...Regardless of whether Slava was a great player or not, he never shamed the organization or the Lakers, and played to his abilities...He was with us in the 3peat years as well. He was a decent scorer, he could come big when needed at times. I can respect that...Regardless of what you may say, he DID do shit...PeAcE
