LAKER FANS- Our last roster spot is going to come down to Crawford and Karl.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Here's how they'e faired in summer leage so far...

Joe Crawford-
PPG: 11 (50% FG, 60% 3FG, 82% FT)
RPG: 3
APG: 1.5
MPG: 21

Coby Karl-
PPG: 15.5 (37% FG, 38% 3FG, 85% FT)
RPG: 2.8
APG: 2.0
MPG: 30

I like both...Crawford is a more athletic scorer with nice explosiveness. Coby Karl is the better facilitator and has the better shot. I think we're gunna end up going with Karl, considering he's already got the experience. But Crawford is definitely a 2nd round steal, I hope no other team scoops him up in the mean time.

PG Derek Fisher...Jordan Farmar/Sun Yue(?)
SG Kobe Bryant...Sasha Vujacic(?)/Coby Karl(?)-Joe Crawford(?)
SF Lamar Odom...Trevor Ariza/Luke Walton
PF Pau Gasol...Vladimir Radmanovic/Jorge Garbajosa(?)-Kurt Thomas(?)
C Andrew Bynum...Chris Mihm/Kwame Brown(?)-DJ Mbenga(?)

we've still got some moves to make.

i liked Karl's game against Mayo too much to pick crawford over him. but i hope the lakers do something with him to retain his rights. D-league perhaps?

Naah, we have to offer him a contract.

[GangstaBoogy]

We have enough young talent. We need a veteran.

[Teddy Roosevelt]

I seriously don't either is going to make a difference on the team.

You never know...I really think Karl is more talented than Luke. If Luke doesn't get himself back together, Karl is a very similar type of player with a better shot and defense.

Sorry let me understand it: are we offering Kwame Brown and Kurt Thomas a contract or is it just you dreaming about it?
Cause i'd love to see them both in L.A., to be honest.

I think I like Crawford better. You cant teach athletisism. He'd bring some nice energy off the bench. Plus, I think his upside is higher then Karl.

we've been rumored to have interest in both.

kurt thomas would bring toughness but this would be a win NOW movie cuz of his age.

with Brown, we know what we would get however he knows the system and he knows the players already. so i don't know it could work out if he played a minimal role with the team.

Don't forget, if we acquired Kwame, he'd be our best 1-on-1 defender in the post.

[Don Jacob]

yeah that's true. my only concern is that he's an offensive liability.

but i guess you could put him in as a 4 and have

C- Gasol
PF-Brown
SF- Odom
Sg-Kobe
PG-Fish/Farmar

[Hatesrats™]

Coby Karl
Joe Crawford needs to pay his dues....

If Gasol and Kwame were both in the line-up, Kwame would be the 5...
