Before Lakers traded Rush (it's official now), latimes.com was reporting about a trade involving D.George, traded for a draft pick or two. Lakers traded Rush instead of him. I'm happy about it, i prefeer George, no doubt. But still, it's a sad day for me.. I wish Rush all the best. Dunno what to add.

That really sucks for the Lakers...Rush is one of those players that could have REALLY helped come playoff time...Lakers gave him up too easily...This was supposed to be Rush's breakthrough year with the Lakers, and now it looks as if his time will come in a different uniform...I seriously would rather have traded George over Rush...Lakers will regret this when Rush blows up...It looks like the Bobcat's general manager saw what I see in Rush, because he waived one of his top players (Eddie House) who was currently averaging more than Rush's season high (11.1 PPG)...Now the Lakers don't even have a back-up Shooting Guard...Today is a sad day in Laker history. :-\

George and Rush are 2 different stories...George was given his chance last year when he started at Small Forward throughout most of the season...Fact is, George is nothing more than a decent role player...Lakers DID need him, because he was their only Small Forward, but he simply wasn't good enough to be considered a star...George will always remain an average player, unless he gets traded to a team like the Bulls (or some other whack team), where he would be able to establish himself as a star...Rush, on the other hand, is a Kobe type of player, and has so much star potential that teams are after him even when he's averaging less than a point a game...You guys will all see in the near future.
