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

I agree. George for a good PG looks reasonable to me.

George was never consistent...One night he'd have 15 points and 7 rebounds and the next night he'd have 2 points and 1 rebound...He was falling off way before Rick Fox's return last season...He simply doesn't have star potential...I'm sure the Lakers could get a good trade going, something like Devean George & Chucky Atkins for Marko Jaric...It doesn't really matter, I'm just kinda' disappointed with todays trade...

More proof that the Lakers are stupid- Tonight Kareem Rush had 14 points on 6 of 14 shooting, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 assist, and only 1 turnover in 27 minutes of playing... :-\

Man we should wait to understand how good/bad was this move. One game doesnt change the things. If Rush was still a Lakers his stats were DNP (coach's decision), so..

Shut up, I already know Kareem Rush is an excellent player...That's just more proof for you fuckers who ain't knowin'...His first game with the team and he's already putting up star-like numbers...Anyone in their right mind will tell you this was a dumbass trade... ::)
