Basically. I don't see how anyone can call it a bad trade. We traded a dude that's been averaging 3-5 minutes a game for the past 2 months.
wcsoldier:
I have no hope about Morrisson ... I'm not anticipating to see this moustache fool in our jersey ... who knows about Brown , he might become another Ariza knowing his game is similar to Trevor's when he 1st arrived i.e good atleticism , some abilities to D but cannot shoot to save his life ...anyways both players won't see any minutes this year
Antonio:
Mitch said Vlad requested a trade cause he wanted to play more minutes.

Him and every other white guy who can shoot.

The funny thing is that shooting is what Larry's remembered for but he wasn't barely even focused on outside shooting until after his leg and back problems forced him to stay out of the scrum. He was amazing because of all around ability and skill, and his inability to quit. His defense. Rebounds. And most importantly, his shit talking on the court. That's what the NBA needs. If they just want some tall white guy who shoots 3s they've got a few of those from Europe.

Great point. Nobody ever talks about his defense and rebounding, which he was damn good at. He wasn't just a one dimensional scorer who wont give you anything when his shot isn't falling. He was a great all around player who was also a top tier shooter.
--- End quote ---
He was one of the best players in NBA history before he became a 3-point threat. He worked hard at something and became among the best at it. Maybe he'd never even qualify to enter one of those And1 ball handling competitions, but how many times did Larry lose the ball on the court?

morrison might become better if he gets some more minutes again, I could see him turn out to be very valuable for the lakers
