Gerald Green to the Lakers...
LooN3y:
i really wish we get haywood, but its basically impossible hes gonna want money.
C - Bynum/Haywood
PF - Gasol/Odom
SF - Artest/T-Mac Or Bell (i mean this would of happened by now if it wasnt for lukes contract)
SG - Kobe/Sasha/Brown
PG - Fisher/Blake/Iverson (if we sign him for dirt cheap)
thats a 3peat line up

I heard Mbenga wants more money than the vets min, which is what the Lakers wanna offer...dunno why, but if he does, thats pretty fuckin stupid. Kwame is a better man defender than Mbenga, so I wouldn't mind the change (if it were to happen).

Mbenga is better on offense, but that really doesn't matter at all because Mbenga realistically shouldn't be getting any touches regardless. Kwame is clearly the superior defensive player, the dude shut down the likes of Tim Duncan and Yao during the 07 season. Only problem is, he's really fragile mentally. And that becomes an even bigger problem when you remember that he parted with the team on a relatively bad note. He probably won't sign here, nor will Lakers probably go after him.

yea, but that's when Kwame still had hopes of developing into a premier center in the NBA...i'm sure he realizes by now that he should take whatever he can get.. not to mention, Phil always favored Kwame and was probably his best mentor/motivator to date. I also think Kwame is somewhat underrated on offense...sure, he has a lot of lapses, but when he gets into the game, he's shown some nice post moves that Mbenga couldn't complete in his wildest dreams. Kwame has the better footwork and offensive rebound put-backs, but like you said, neither player would be expected anything of on the offensive end if signed LOL.

That's true. Kwame was actually a smart player on offense, and there's a common misconception where people would confuse clumsy with stupid. He understood the triangle surprisingly well and he knew how to run the plays. He also knew some nice post moves, like you mentioned. Only issue was that he was clumsy as all hell, so about 80% of the time, he was unable to pull the post moves off. I don't want to say Kwame was underrated on offense because he still sucked, but he'd have a nice game every so often.
And in response to Loon3y, Haywood would be a pipe dream. No matter how badly he wants to win a ring, he's not going to take less than half of the MLE that we have left.
