*waits for NIK to come in and say this was an excellent trade.
Although from a $$$ point of view, it works out for the Lakers.

the more i think about it, the more it looks like an ok trade for LA. They shed their worst contract and get a prospect who could turn out to be a decent role player in the triangle. Why Charlotte pulled the trigger - I still can't figure out.

Our wost contract is Luke but I don't expect anyone to rid us of that burden. This trade is all about clearing up cap space so we can resign Ariza and Odom. I don't see Adam Morrison on the Lakers past next summer.

but you guys dont need capspace to resign any player who has been under contract for at least 3 years

Then maybe it was a money thing, not a cap space issue. If the Lakers resign Odom and Ariza they are looking at over $90 million total salary plus luxury tax. While Jerry Buss can afford it, it is still a lot of money to pay even when making a profit. And like you said, the Lakers get a player who could be a good role player on the team.

Shaq is coming... ;D ;D ;D
Rick McCrank:
whatever, it's not like Radmanovic was doing a whole lot
he had potential to knock down 3's and step up on defense for a change but it didn't work it
he's pretty inconsistent and was a liability on defense in the Finals, and if this helps the Lakers financially then I'm cool with the trade
who knows, maybe Morrison will hit more shots than Vlad, limited playing time or not
Now_Im_Not_Banned:
Charlotte did this because they were struggling with Adam Morrison at the 3 spot and Larry Brown likes Radmanovic...Morrison is a former 3rd overall pick, so who knows - kid definitely has potential. The best thing about this trade is that we got rid of Radmanovic's contract. While I liked Radmanovic as a spot up shooter, his best basketball is behind him and he was being paid to use up valuable time on the bench.
Ted...suck a fatty. :-*
