The Zen Master is back with the Lakeshow for one last stand and a chance at his 4th threepeat...we also just offered Mike Miller a 5 year/$30 mill contract...not bad. Mike Miller=talented all-around player, deadly shooter, and excellent triangle fit. Luke and Sasha wont hold up at the back-up 2 and 3 spot, so Mike Miller would be great insurance, and will greatly benefit our bench, which was pretty inconsistent last season. In other news, we did not exercise our 1 year/$3 mill team option on Jordan Farmar for next year, which pretty much means he's gone. Sad to see him go, but he seems very excited about the chance to log in heavy minutes as a starting point guard, and he even thanked the Lakers for giving him a chance to shine elsewhere. Pacers are reported to have shown interest in signing him...But that's not too bad for us, because I have a feeling that Javaris Crittenton is coming back and replacing him in the rotation, as he was recently assigned to the Laker Summer League Team..that's great news, seeing as J.Critt was a Laker favorite with lots of upside when we drafted him...Now we just gotta bring Fisher back, and we're money. 8)

Great Laker news. I think Sasha and Luke need to be moved, not Odom, but they might only be able to move Odom. Miller is a starter everywhere he goes, he would strengthen the bench and offer some offense when Artest needs a rest, or a reliable back up to Kobe if we don't get Shannon Brown back. Yeah, if we resign Fisher, with a reliable back up then the Lakers will three-peat. Right now, barring LeBron, Wade and Bosh all going to the same team, the Lakers are looking like the best team again with the Miller signing. A very solid pick up that helps our bench by leaps and bounds.

Farmar is better than Critt for the Lakers and, well, you guys are insane if you think you can move Luke. Mike Miller would be terrific, though.

Didn't say we could move Luke or Sasha, just saying we should try to move them instead of Odom. It might not be possible, but Luke and Sasha eat up cap space, but you might have one GM out there who really wants a veteran with championship experience that might be dumb bold enough to take a chance on these two in trying to change their team culture. Washington, I'm looking at you.

Luke can't be moved , forget about it , he still has 3 years left on his contract , no GM is crazy enough to take it ...

Miller would be nice but the lenght of the contract offer is too long ... dude is already 30 ... if you want to throw the full MLE at a shooter , we should target Morrow , he's young and already in the top 5 shooters in the league ...

Moving LO would be horrible , do that  and you can automatically say goodbye to the threepeat
