Good move if you ask me. He deserved a contract after a very good preseason.

I won't sport a jersey if it's not the Lakers...Got the purple & yellow Kareem Rush jersey autographed hanging on my wall...I remain a fan of Kareem Rush's game, but I wont go as far as buying a jersey that doesn't represent my team.

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.

but look at how george was doin when he started, he was averaging 10.5 points a game and 6 rebounds, very solid for a starter considering he had 4 all-stars on his team. but when rick fox started, george sank BADLY.
george did have a lot of potential, hes a athletic sean marion type player, but like i said for kareem rush (who i feel has even more potential than george), the lakers pretty much need NEITHER of the two as of now. so in the long run, i actually hope we end up tradin devean george this season as well

Rudy T just loves Bobbit. I remember when it was a T.Brown vs T.Bobbit thang, for the last spot in the roster.
Rudy just didnt want to cut one of them.
And i remember Lakers talking about trading George for a round pick to sign both Bobbit AND Brown.
Now we've traded Rush, and we got George and Bobbit coming soon in the team.
It's a good move for me.
Bobbit is not as talented as Rush, but he's perfect for a Rudy T. team: good defence, great stamina, good shot, good leadership.
I like him, for real.
I've opened a topic about him this summer too, remember that?
I'm still sorry for Rush, but Bobbit is a good fix.
