TobyTizzle Lakers rules the board, remember that. Nobody really cares about other teams' minimal moves.
About Tony and Adam, well it's a logical consequence. Bobbit looked less brilliant than last year: he totally lost his outside jumpshot, and he wasnt reactive on defence. Parada is just an unknown dude, too young and too raw to spend a roster spot on him. About the other ones, Von Wafer is a lock, imo. It's between Corie Blount and Sasha Vujacic. Cut Vujacic. If it's possible (he has a guaranteed contract).

They can still work to make an NBA roster...Bobbit is probably talented enough to start for the Hawks and Parada is just a big guy in a league who's lacking 'em...

Looks like it's between Profit & Green...


Green Can Make Big Leap

Devin Green could soon find out just how far he has come since the days of the Norfolk State-Hampton rivalry.
No disrespect to the unheralded Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, where conference games typically draw a couple of thousand fans, but Green has never been in a more important game than tonight's exhibition between the Lakers and Sacramento Kings.
Phil Jackson said Thursday that injured veteran forward Corie Blount would make the team, leaving Green and Laron Profit apparently fighting for the final roster spot. (There's a chance rookie Von Wafer will be waived by Monday's deadline instead of Profit or Green, although it is slim.)
Green, an undrafted 6-foot-7 guard out of Hampton, has averaged 4.5 points in exhibition play and has been a pest with his on-ball defense.

I say cut Green...I mean, he has upside and everything, but he won't be ready to REALLY contribute for another 2 years or so...Profit has the dank height advantage for a guard, which Phil perfers, and is known to be a hard worker...I see him being more useful for the season than Devin Green...Also, if they cut Green, he probably won't be back trying out for the NBA until next off-season, in which case the Lakers would be able to pick him up again if needed...Keep Profit...PeACe
