Lakers-Pacers Trade

<< < (3/5) > >>

eS El Duque:
I think all the players in there suck ass lol. (or are just role players)

Lakers purpose in this trade was easy...the 17th pick...worth a lot more to teams during trading time

Don Jacob:
this is a pretty good small trade, that sux that we have to get rid of george i like the dude but it's a GREAT thing we're getting rid of slava. Bender is good i like him he'll be a strong role player and depending on the 17th pick this will either be a steal for the lakers or a flop

smoke1ne:
think of it like this  george+slava saw no time last year we get rid of 2 trash players we dont need for someone like bender hes  been injury prone but if he works out  then alrigh if not by 2007 mihm bender n others become free agents n we drop 28 million on the spot so either way it works for the lakers ;D

George saw no time because he had knee surgery, but he posted up excellent numbers in that short period of time when he did return...I think dumping George for a players who didn't come close to meeting the expectations wouldn't be so great...Is that 17th pick really worth that much? I guess they also really wanna move some small forwards, but why the one who is most familiar with the triangle? And at least they can get a player who actually plays in return...Shit, I know the Lakers could think up a nice package involving George for Marko Jaric or someone along those lines...I dunno though, this trade just doesn't appeal that much to me, but if it does go through, I hope it works out for the best...PeACe

^ Man, like i said last year when everybody was dissing Mitch for the Shaq-trade and the Payton-trade, we need at least a pair of seasons to judge an NBA trade. I mean take the Payton-one as an example. It looked horrible for the Lakers. After a season it looks horrible for the Celtics, cause Mihm is a pretty good player, cause Atkins and Jumaine Jones are two good role players and cause Fox retired (and Payton is about to). This trade can be perfect for the Lakers, or stupid. It depends on how Bender will perform in purple-gold. He's a player with a great potential, even if he didnt show it yet. If he keeps performing like he should, then this can be a great trade for us. Plus that #17 draft pick can be interesting too. We will see. Oh, and i'm curious to see if we will select a player with the #17 draft pick or if we will trade the pick, or a package with the #10 and the #17 pick, or with players + draft picks..
