Lakers do what's best for their young players

Dumbass trade? Man it's obvious Rudy T prefeers Bobbit to Rush. So how can you call it a dumbass trade? It's what the coach wants.
If you dont like it, then it's YOUR opinion. I still prefeer Rudy T's one tho'. No disrespect.

Too bad Tony Bobbit is a nobody and Kareem Rush has been highly recruited since High School...Plus, he continues putting up star like numbers; 15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in 27 minutes this Friday against Phoenix...You're the kind of person that won't see how dumb this trade is until Kareem Rush is actually regarded as a star... ::)

His 3rd game in and he's already proving consistency...
13 points on 5-10 shooting, 1-3 3-point field goals, 2-3 free throws, and 3 rebounds in 26 minutes...

No no, i loved Rush too. But i'm confident in Rudy T. I mean he didnt think Rush was necessary for the team, so Lakers basically cutted him. And Rudy T has coached/seen Bobbit for 14 games this preseason, and he loved him. For sure Rush has more talent, but Bobbit is a good bench player (was a bench player in Uni too, 6th man of the year in his Conference), a better role player. I dont know, i'm positive. I want to judge it in the next year, when Lakers will have Bobbit + 2 rookies instead of Rush.

They don't get all them rookies next year.. they just get the regular picks nba teams get, the bobcats picks will take a while.. Im not sure about the first, but the 2nd is in 2008 or something if I recall right..
To me it looks like Lakers are giving good players for more decent players.. like trading quality for quantity..
Shaq --> Odom, Grant, Butler, Pick
Payton --> Mihm, Atkins, Jumaine
Rush --> 2 2nd round picks
Not sure if this is a good strategy.. I mean only 5 players can play at a time, huh?
What's next? Trading Kobe Bryant for the entire Atlanta Hawks Roster?
