Vlade Divac Waived From The Lakers...
Juronimo:
::) Good riddance to Vlade. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I never liked him, ever.
Now_Im_Blowed, I hope you're right about the front line because once you get past Brown and Mihm, our bigs are basically barely at the nba level, that's just the truth. Corie Blunt was a serviceable big man for us back in '98 but how much does he have left in the tank at age 35? Is Brian Cook actually going to grab a rebound instead of just launching 3's? Will Slava not suck horribly at pretty much everything he does?
The one good thing is that having Brown, who is basically at minimum a bigger body underneath is that hopefully Chris Mihm will stay out of foul trouble. I agree that Lamar Odom will be much more productive this year due to the coaching staff actually using his strenghts. That right there is a big improvement over last season. My concern is that Lamar Odom will be forced to shift to PF due to Slava and Cook being so bad and Blount being so old and Bynum not being ready. Remember how LO was in foul troube half the time? We don't need that.
There are too many question marks for me not to have concern over our front line. Hopefully Kwame Brown will break out and be a beast for us this year. We'll see when the season starts.
Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It:
are big men suck,we have no shot blockers,kobe is the best shot blocking guard in the NBA but i rather have a PF/C who's the best shot blocker in the League...Brian cook is good @ taking charges but his 1 on 1 "D" sucks
Let's hope all the hard work A.Bynum is putting in Comes in handy this season :-\ we have to be a solid perimeter defence of team,wich means we have to trap,be aggresive and get a lot of steals..Phil Jax said that in his press conference..
BTW..
Tommorow is the first Lakers Pre-season game ;D ;D ;D ;D :rock: :banana_rock: :banana:
Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It:
Sinse this was supposed to be a Vlade thread,,let me say some thing about him..
He was a solid Center,He help Magic and the Lakers get back to the finals after Kareem retired,and after Magic got sick he again helped the Lakers get back to the Playoffs in only one year,he was a big part of those Laker Teams that advance to the 2nd round before shaq got there,and then he was apart of those Kings team that gave the Lakers a hard time and vlade some times got the better of shaq but shaq still fucked him up ;D
but um yeah,Vlade was a solid player 8)

That's what i'm talking about. C'mon Nik, our bench has Blount, Cook and Medvedenko. You go nowhere with those fools. They aint even European material. Face the truth. The only decent addiction was been Brown, but he's a bust who has to prove everything. And yes, Odom will play the 2nd and 4th quarters at the PF spot, according to Phil Jackson. We need at least another quality big man, that's 100% for sure.

Lamar WILL play power forward. Phil already said he will be using Odom at power forward (in fourth quarters especialy), but his primary assignment is point forward. He might even start at point guard with Luke Walton starting at shooting guard and Kobe starting at small forward...Phil said he likes what he sees, Kareem said he likes what he sees, Pippen said he likes what he sees, Magic said he likes what he sees, Kobe said he likes what he sees, and last of all, I like what I see...Pre-season starts today.
