GERALD GREEN will be the person the Lakers Draft and they wil TRADE for a BIG NAMED ALL STAR WHO DIDNT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.
Phil will be announced in Mid June as the New Lakers Head Coach.
-
So they try to get Z? Don't see why the Cavs are in for a SG.

Z is old and washed up and the lakers are not interested in Z. they will keep Gerald Green as a SF. Kobe will be in mentor. Lakers will then package a Caron Butler, Odom + Expiring Contracts to free up cap space for the other team in exchange for a BIG NAMED all star.
-
Oh sorry I thought you meant they trade the rookie for some All-Star and didnt take you serious therefore. Whose that big ass named All-Star that didnt make the playoffs if not Z? Vince? Hill? Kidd? Don't see that comin.. Matter of fact, every big named All-Star who didnt make the playoffs is old. Except LeBron and Wade you know, but those definitely won't be traded. Marbury? Abdur-Rahim?
LOL. In another thread I saw you claim they aquire KG - LOL. This is so unrealistic, he didnt even come to my mind when I thought about who you claim they will get. Keep dreaming.
-
KG is def unrealistic, man. It's more than what i dream, lol.
-
Do u guys think that Garnett will be traded and what team do you think realistically will he be on
-
i think the Lakers are going to draft sean may from north carolina,the Lakers need a physical big man and may will be perfect for the triangle..
and i like Odom and butler,last season was a bad season because rudy t sucks as a coach,phil jackson will put it all together and wi will be better way better
and about those contracts and the sorry players we have,we have no choise but to kep them because noone wants'em..
i don't know when K.G could opt out of his contract,but when he can i don't see why he wont want to come play with kobe and philbytthat's years from know,lets focused right now

where are u from? Europe? please stfu.
i have my sources about KG.
"First, Phil Jackson is the Lakers first choice. The Lakers are Phil Jackson's first choice. Although a contract has not been signed, one is expected to be completed and signed by all parties involved by Wednesday. The details are sketchy right now, however, it is a 5 year, 60 Million Dollar deal. There will be incentives only for reaching the finals - none for just the playoffs.
Second, the Lakers will try to aquire Kevin Garnett. This will all depend on the Lakers being able to trade up high enough to acquire high school phenom, Gerald Green, and Kevin Garnett's cooperation. To the latter, the Laker organization has not contacted Garnett (as it would be a violation) but he has heard through the grapevine that if he wants out to LA, the Lakers could put together a special package to get him. To the former, the acquisition of Gerald Green would allow the Laker organization to trade Lamar Odom and Caron Butler to get Kevin Garnett. Brian Grant and Wally Sczerbiack are also going to be involved in the trade. Gerald Green is a high school phenom with a tremendous amount of potential. With Kobe Bryant as his mentor, he may be able to realize some of his potential immediately. Also the franchise would be very safe in the SF position in the future with Green. Unfortunately, there is no scenario where we would be able to acquire Kevin Garnett if Gerald Green is not drafted.
Third, if the above are accomplished, the Lakers will try to upgrade in the point guard and power forward positions in the draft. There is no one that can come in and make an immediate impact in terms of changing the game, but the organization is looking for a PG that can move through screens and see the court better than atkins. As of right now, Sasha V. is looking like a potential starter for next season. The organization wants him to get bigger, however, before he can acquire the starting role. Of course this is all subject to his performance in training camp and the exhibition games in the beginning of the season.
Fourth, it is a priority for the Laker organization to re-hire Tex Winter. The triangle was initially designed for a Kobe/Lamar - Kobe/Green type duo. Wally is an excellent spot up shooter and Garnett is an excellent defender. These pieces would be ideal and Tex could show them how to excel in every aspect of the game. The key is for each man to play his role.
Fifth, the laker bench is a concern for the Lakers. A integral part of the Lakers success next year will be the performance of JJ. Additionally, Vlade Divac is expected to be back next season as a back up to C. Mihm. The Lakers may be looking to move Douthit and Walton for a solid backup for Kobe Bryant or Chris Mihm. This won't happen during the offseason, however.
Sixth, the Lakers feel that they can win immediately next year. It will depend on how well Mitch is able to accomplish some of his goals. So, we will see what happens.
I do not want to speculate as to the decisions that Minn will or will not make. The Minn organization is in dissary. With Kevin Garnett they have only made it to the Western Conference finals once. They had a string of consecutive first round exits and did not make it to the playoffs this year. There are rumblings that the Minn team is too old and in need of rebuiding From that perspective it would make sense to pick up Lamar and Caron. Grants contract comes off the books earlier than Garnetts and could give the TW cap room to sign a big time free agent in the future. Of course the above is a hypothetical rationale. Either way, it would not be a choice - If Garnett is getting dealt, Grant would be included in the trade.
The second piece of information that makes the trade realistic is that losing has been taking a toll on Garnett. He is in South Carolina right now - and I'm sure you've heard that he is not happy. Although demanding a trade to the Lakers in not part of Kevin Garnetts persona, at some point he is going to have to think about himself. He has made a number of sacrifices for Minn and it is believed that Minn would accomodate any request for a trade -even to the Lakers - if they can get some solid pieces to build around for the future. Finally, I haven't heard that picks would be involved in any trade, but if Minn demanded future picks - maybe the Miami one, I'm sure the Lakers would agree.
Again, this post is just a response to you questions. I tried to answer them reasonably, but I confess, I have no information from anyone in the Minn organization.
I don't think anyone could tell you much more. Again, I'm just giving you how we would acquire Kevin Garnett. I'm telling you why we would NOT get Garnett if we did not acquire Green. I never said getting Garnett was realistic, I said the organization has a viable plan to pull it off.
I would think for all the speculation that goes on, some information would be better than no information. I tried to concentrate your attention on some of the things the Lakers were doing so you guys could discuss those aspects as well. Again, if you don't believe me, that is your right. I don't expect to get much respect here until my information materializes, but don't try to undermine my position to other fans who may be interested. Good Night.
1) KG wants out. He is in Greenville, SC contemplating asking for a trade. He wants to play in LA or Cleveland. Its a delicate situation because its not in KGs persona to ask for a trade, but he wants to win.
2) Gerald Green is the essential component. Many people think that the Lakers are trying to trade up in order to get a PG or Bogut. With Green you'll be able to move Butler and Odom without much production loss. Green can put in the points and Garnett can pull in the rebounds. The Lakers will not go for Garnett if they cannot get Green. Remember, the Lakers are working under the triangle, its essential that there be two swing men in the absence of a dominant center. Neither JJ nor Luke are capable of being swingmen. Lamar and Caron are capable. Its rationale too...no matter what you guys think, a duo of KG/Kobe without Green loses in the first round with the role players we'd be stuck with.
3) I am close with the organization (Lakers), there is a situation here in Washington, DC which is why I'm not in Los Angeles right now. My association with the organization is how I know these things.
Guys, I seriously don't have time for speculation. I wouldn't waste your time with something that I did not think would happen"

Forget phil signing on wednesday. they have already signed him but are not making it public yet. they don't wanna make it public untill the playoffs are over.
If you know who Gerald Green is then you know he is the real deal. hes a 19 yrd kid out of High School whos gonna be a superstar and is very exicting to watch. Jerry Buss & Mitch Kupchak didn't like how ticket sales declining cuz of how boring it was to watch this team. Gerald Green is the type of kid who could bring exciment back along with KG. Phil Jackson would not have returned if he didn't think the Lakers would be a contender thats why they have plans to trade for KG. KG's agent already notified the Lakers organization that he is interested in playing in LA.
Heres a Video of Gerald Green winning the Dunk Contest.

I remember you Lakers have the #10 draft pick. Is it enought to get this dude?

Lakers are still years away from winning a championship. They need a center and i highly doubt Jackson is going to coach them once again.

Who the fuck can you give Minnesota in order to make them giving KG away? What the fuck? The only player comparable to KG is Kobe, and you wont trade him right? And no, not every team trades a pure superstar for a mix of wannabe allstars and bench-warmers like you did last year.

If Lakers get Garnett, the lakers will have two of the top 5 players in THE NBA :o. That's fuckin sick. I'll be first in line to get a Garnett Laker jersay (i already have a wolves one). Only reason I like the Wolves is becuase of Garnett, if he goes to the Lakers, the lakers got a new fan ;D.
BUt i've admired how Garnett would sacrifice things for Minn. You know, a player that stays with one team for the rest of their career are hard to come by now a days. That's why we have 'Franchise Players' and such.

LAKERS 4 LIFE

LMAO @ Odom and Butler for Garnett, what a joke, thats almost as bad as the Shaq trade, probably even worse, no way in hell minesotta would be stupid enough to give up a player who just got MVP a year ago for 2 nobodys.
-
^ It's def worse than the Shaq one cause Garnett is still young.

lakers are done for a while

lakers are done for a while
no they're not,they're going to be a playoff team next season

Well, if Minnesota was looking to trade Garnett, I don't think they'd do any better than Odom, Butler, Grant, and a 10th overall draft pick...Odom alone has potential to be a Garnett (doesn't mean he'll ever reach that status)...Butler is on his way to being an excellent player...Grant is losing his game, but I have a feeling he's already had his worst season this year...Then you got the #10 pick...Remember, Kobe was a #13 pick and even Garnett was picked up late at the #5 spot...You never know, that could be a good deal...Minnesota is in need of a new style, and this could go good...Imagine for Minnesota, what their starting line-up and bench would look like...They'd be so uptempo and would bring some excitement...
Starting 5:
PG Sam Cassel
SG Latrell Sprewell
SF Caron Butler
PF Lamar Odom
C Michael Olowakandi
Bench:
Wally Sczerbiak
Brian Grant
Trenton Hassel
Troy Hudson
Ndudi Ebi (this kid can be big)
Eddie Griffin
Mark Madsen
Ervin Johnson
Fred Hoiberg
+the 10th overall pick
...This could actually be a positive bounce-back for an organization that always seemed real, but ended up flopping every time...This season was rock-bottom for Minnesota, and this could be a turning point...I think the trade could turn out reasonable for Minnesota...I know the fans might hate it, but I gaurantee that the roster I just posted would AT LEAST make the playoffs, which is a step upwards...Then they can build on that.
Now, for the Lakers...Ooooh-weee, can anybody say "instant champions"? Imagine what a dynamic duo that would be; Kobe & KG...Could even turn out better than Kobe & Shaq, if the chemistry is right...And Phil Jackson coaching? Get the fuck outta here...Even with losing their 2nd and 3rd best player, they'd still have an amazing roster...
PG Chucky Atkins
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Devean George
PG Kevin Garnett
C Chris Mihm
Bench:
Vlade Divac
Brian Cook
Jumain Jones
Sasha Vujacic
Luke Walton
Slava Medvadenko
Tierre Brown
Tonny Bobbit
Okay, so they might need a little improvement on their bench and point guard position, but even this roster would easily go deep in the playoffs...Imagine if they could sign a strong, solid point guard, maybe like an Antonio Daniels...Then add some depth to the bench by acquiring a roll player or two...They can easily trade players like Medvadenko, Walton, or even Cook and come up with a bench player that'll fit the system perfectly...Most likely I'm just getting my hopes way up, but it would be a cool thing to see...PeACe

I like the Clippers too, but they currently have nothing to work with...After seeing the same thing year after year, I have a feeling that no drastic changes will be made to improve the team...And now they don't even have a top 10 pick...I mean, I think they'll be a better team next year, but no way will they be better than the Lakers with the plans that Jerry Buss has in mind for his team...
-
Have You Not Seen Bobby Simmons??!! Dude is on fire, he's found his touch, he's gonna be a force, I believe that they should trade Kittles, cuz mutha fucker is injury ridden anyway, have Livingston at the point, Magette at the other guard, Simmons & Brand @ Forwards, and They should try and opt for a better center, I think they should draft this guy
(http://nbadraft.net/profiles/headshots/tiago-splitter-hd.jpg)
Tiago Splitter From Brazil
6-11
Strengths: In 3 years will surely be a top 5 player internationally, he has the typically strong Brazilian offense game. He's a scorer, and can shoot from everywhere on the court. He plays one-on-one very well, has nice moves around the basket where he usually finishes with power plays. He has excellent mobility and great foot work for a player his size. He already has more international experience than Nene and Anderson combined. His future is at the SF position, so you can imagine the troubles that a 6-11 guy can cause in this situation. It's possible that he is not finished growing!
Weaknesses: His body still very weak to play the PF position. He has problems defending stronger guys and playing post up on offense, has to improve his timing on rebounds and his patience on defense. His defense can improve a lot playing in Europe and his body will certainly develop.
Notes: Made the Brazilian National team as a 17 years old and competed in the 2002 World Championships in Indianapolis. Very athletic player. Prefers to play on the outside. Shies away from contact. A bigtime scorer. Somewhat similar to Kirilenko with his rangy frame. Has a ways to go skill-wise.
-Vinicius Fontana
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFENSIVE SKILLS: A right-handed player with a great amount of technical and physical skills. His best virtue is his versatility. He can play in the paint where he has excellent agility and coordination and some developing post moves. He also has the ability to step out on the perimeter, where he has an acceptable medium and long range shot. He can handle the ball and take players off the dribble to the rim. However the team prefers him to stay in the paint, where he is playing more often.
DEFFENSIVE SKILLS: Tiago has a very intimidating body. He's a tough defender and is a good rebounder, on both sides of the court. He can block shots. He has great concentration while he defends and it shows that he has a good attitude while he defends and a mature player.
PHISYCAL CHARACTERISTICS: A very athletic player with well defined muscles, because of this he's physical both defensively and offensively. He is very quick running the floor on fast breaks.
WEAKNESSES: He has to improve his free, medium and long distance shot. He has to become better at finishing. Defensively he must control his intensity and not get into foul trouble.
There is video @ mockdraft.net or search yahoo for nba draft

all you doubters, keep on doubting. you will see whos in a Laker Uniform come october. i'm not even gonna waiste my time trying to convince a bunch of clowns who most are from europe and dont know shit about basketball.
what alot of you faggots you fail to realize is that minnesota has no intentions of trading KG. KG is the one who wants to leave and play for LA. If he does want to leave the wolves owner Glen Taylor will be willing to trade him because he doesn't want to hold KG against his will. He has a very close relationship with Glen Taylor and Glen Taylor would be willing to entertain KG's wishes as a sign of loyalty for the past 10 yrs. KG took a HUGE pay cut. he was making over $30 mill Last year and now hes only making $15. the only reason he did this was so the team would have enough money to sign other players and wouldn't be over the NBA Salary Cap. no other player in the NBA would've took a $15 mill paycut.
btw, the exact players who would be traded are still undecided. it would include Lamar Odom, Caron Butle for sure. Miinnesota wants Expiring Contracts as well inexchange to package Wally Szczerbiak in the deal. brain grant would have to go in that trade and even tho hes certified trash, his contract is very appealing to teams that wanna dump other players contracts being that Grants contract turns into an expiring one 2006.
it would look something like this.
odom
butler
atkins
divac
grant
2006 1st round pick
for
garnett
Szczerbiak
the only reason they would take atkins,divac & grant is for salary cap purposes. those 3 players alone contracts add up to $25 million and it would give them leeway to sign whomever they wish. Any Big Named Free Agent would want to sign with any team for that kinda money. with Szczerbiaks huge contract the twovles wouldn't have any money to sign a big time player untill 2009 unles its for the League minimum.
Last thing i'm gonna say is this.
Lakers will trade Deaven George & Slava Medvedenko or Brian Cook to Indiana for Jonathan Bender and the 17th pick.
Lakers then plan on trading their 10th & 17th pick to Toronto for the 7th pick in order to Draft Gerald Green.
i've said what i've said and i'm not even gonna bother arguing with you bitches why these trades would happen. Just Know Jonathan Bender to the Lakers will be the first trade happening. Once that happens, you will find out how much of credible source i am.

I really hope you're right. I was been a loyal Laker fan this year with all the problems, i'll be a loyal Laker fan next year with Phil, Green, Bender & KG, if that's the new scenario.
-
trading KG despite of knowing it will ruin the team for years to come because of the relationship to KG as a person is really the only way this might happen.
but I don't expect so much humanity in this world. lakers are a rather realistic choice, because they have so many players who own a lot of money. bullshit players, yes, but huge salary.
-
I can't wait until october when nothing has happened and everyones forgot about this thread and ill pull it up so you can look like a total jackass, lol what a moron, even if the lakers did want to do all this, they wouldnt be talkin about it or would want anyone to talk about it, you might honestly believe this but did you ever think whoevers telling you this could be bullshitting.
-
we got to take it step by step,don't panic,shit!..we just won 3 championships and went to the finals last season..
we have kobe to build around and that's what we gotta do..noone is going to want are garbage,we have to live with this contracts
only guy tradeble is butler..i want lamar to play small foward next season and the way he is going to do that is if we draft sean may from NC and go after tyson chandler..he was on the best damn sports show the other night and he said playing for the Lakers is a dream because he grew up in compton..
and about KG,if he wants he could opy out of his contract a couple of years from know and then sign with the Lakers.lets be patient here

Fuck Jonathan Bender...George alone is a better player than Bender. That trade would suck.

Fuck Jonathan Bender...George alone is a better player than Bender. That trade would suck.
i agree. Bender is trash but he at least has size. 7feet. there are only 2 players on the laker squad athat are 6'10" and taller. odom & mihm.
i dont like this trade but the #17th pick is the real reason why they are making this trade. Mitch plans on moving up.

No doubt George is a better player than Bender. But like i said the previous year, it's wrong to judge a trade before it's done. Last year people were saying that Boston robbed L.A. in the Payton/Fox vs Mihm/Atkins/J.Jones trade. It looked incredibly stupid at the beginning. But now that the regular season is over, who really won that trade?

Fuck Jonathan Bender...George alone is a better player than Bender. That trade would suck.
i agree. Bender is trash but he at least has size. 7feet. there are only 2 players on the laker squad athat are 6'10" and taller. odom & mihm.
i dont like this trade but the #17th pick is the real reason why they are making this trade. Mitch plans on moving up.
No doubt George is a better player than Bender. But like i said the previous year, it's wrong to judge a trade before it's done. Last year people were saying that Boston robbed L.A. in the Payton/Fox vs Mihm/Atkins/J.Jones trade. It looked incredibly stupid at the beginning. But now that the regular season is over, who really won that trade?

Yeah i remember it. You liked Mihm and Banks. Well, JJ is not bad too, man! Def a surprise. :)

lol after the moves made this last year....his name should be "Addicted to Losing" instead then...
i hate when people post stupid stuff..Dr.Buss has been the most successful owner since 1979,WTF do you mean "Addicted to losing"?..
know he's going to build around kobe.the Lakers will be fine,missing the palyoffs 2 times since 1979 is greeeeat!!!
-
^^Seriously...I thought ToNe knew a little more basketball than that...Addicted to losing? Buss is one of the most succesful owners in sports history. You should avoid making stupid comments like that.

^^^apparently u guys didnt read the first half of the statement.

Buss' problem is that, like most Laker fans, he is in love with Kobe. Everything gets done how Kobe wants it. If Kobe said "No, fuck Phil." - do you guys honestly believe Buss would consider re-signing Jackson as a coach? Bet he won't. Kobe could probably also force the Lakers to play in another arena in order to have to drive less miles to get to work.

I understand, Buss likes Kobe cus he puts fans in the seats. But also, thats gonna be LA's downfall. Its like focusing on Kobe more then focusing on winning. They traded away Shaq, got ridda Phil....thats why i say they seriously shoulda just traded Kobe away as well. They coulda put together a completely new team, and a talented one for SURE if they woulda shopped Kobe also. I dont know if Buss listens to the fans too much or what. But i dont see them winning a championship for a long, long time.

1) Shaq menaced to retire if Lakers didnt trade him. He officially demanded for a trade.
2) Kobe was a free agent. Kobe opted out his contract to get the max money possible, so a sign-and-trade deal wasnt the thing Kobe wanted/could have accepted.
3) Phil was a free agent and he asked about the double of the money ever received by a single NBA coach to coach a team.
Get your facts str8, please.
I understand Buss' move. He just did a mistake with Phil, probably.

Buss has already stated that Kobe wouldn't be a part of the decision making process...Go figure.

What you fail to realize is that they got rid of Shaq because he wanted way more than he was worth...Same with Phil...Now Buss is rethinking it, and based on the coaching problem this season, he realized that he made a mistake by not giving Phil the extension...Shaq, however, is another story...The organization stands behind it being a positive move, and by the way Shaq is playing, everyone else should as well...Kobe had nothing to do with Phil Jackson and Shaq wanting an excessive amount of money. Why trade away the best player in the league while he possibly hasn't even reached his prime, when you can sign him for 7 more years? Now THAT would be a dumb move...PeACe

None of this info is really "TOP SECRET" anyways, All LA News outlets have been saying that the lakers are going to trade their pick and how they are after KG, Did anyone watch the postgame show to the finals on Channel 7, didnt Norm Nixon tell Rob Fukisaki about the trade thing and how its "The Obvious Choice the lakers need to do" and was saying everything this dude was saying about Phil jackson as well...Well from all the "OBVIOUS" anyways, We all know Phil is going to be back, Not Because he wants to win a championship, not because he wants to coach, but why may you ask? Because he is sooo fuckin pussywhipped its pathetic, Jeanie Buss must have some Super Pussy, because why else would he return to a team where the star player did not want him??? I would let the team rott in their own vomit....and the lakers are not going to turn around and all of a sudden win a championship if they do get phil anyway, unless they actually do really get KG, which i doubt.....They at least have 2 more years of rebuilding left. Those are my 2 cents on all this

i know Eric Pincus. hes getting all that info in his article from the same person i am getting it from. And i happen to work in El Segundo @ Health South. do the math. Thats how i know these things.
the article from Draftcity is bullshit. Lakers aren't using a smokescreen. Its the Really Deal. Mitch Kupchak is in love with that kid and he is doing everything he can to move up to the 4th pick in order to draft him. Phil Jackson doesn't want him tho. he wants Deron Williams from Illinois.
those articles ain't saying anything ground breaking like i am in this thread.
