The Lakers had no use for him anymore, it's better than just cutting him. Lamar Odom and Devean George will obviously get the most minutes at the small forward spot, Luke Walton will be coming off the bench and also filling in a good amount of minutes at the 3...Then we have Laron Profit, Devin Green, and Sasha Vuvajic, all who are gunna be playing some minutes at the four. That leaves no room for Jumain Jones...I much rather see Devin Green developing and playing 5-15 mins a game at the SF position than Jumain Jones subsiding and playing 5-15 minutes a game at the SF position.

I agree. JJ would not have gotten much playing time behind Odom, DG and Luke. It would have been nice if we could have packaged him, Vlade's expiring K, and Slava/Cook for a decent Big but I'm sure teams would really salavate over a deal like that.
You can look at this the same way as back in '99, when we unloaded NVE and the Kobe stopper. I hated seeing them leave, but it had to happen to fit the plan.
Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It:
I'm not surpriced...jj had his try-out last season when the Lakers started running the Triangle offence in the middle of the season,HE FAILED..he doesn't know the triangle offence,he doesn't fit the offence,in the triangle offence most of your shots will be on the move,JJ is not a good shooter when he has to do that,i remember he shot a couple of airballs last season when he was in the pinch post and had to turn around and shoot the ball...he's a spot up shooter..he'll be perfect for the suns or mavs,he could shoot all the 3's he want with them
SF: L,Odom/D,George/L.Walton-----D.George and walton know the in & outs of the offence,and Lamar Odom wil get there soon 8)
plus the lakers only had 1 spot left and 3 guys were fighting for it...you could x out jj now,say goodbye to C.Blunt,so D.Green who's playing really good will get that last spot

It's like whatever the lakers were stacked with a bunch of small fowards anyways. Don't sleep on Devon George. He plays good under Phil.

That doesnt mean he's worth just a 2nd rounder.

But not better than trading him.

It's just the fact that we got nothing in return, man. Who'll shoot from 3pts? Who'll open defences? Who'll play hard defence? You?
