Title: Lakers Waive Von Wafer & JR Pinnock...
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on October 26, 2006, 03:37:54 PM
Reported on AM570...


Now the last roster spot is a battle between Devin Green & Aaron McKie...I really hope Green gets it, though McKie's always been a nice locker room presence and he'll probably be the last man...LA Times is reporting that McKie is staying (http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakerep26oct26,1,1267361.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-nba-lakers)...Here's how we'll probably look:

PG Smush Parker...Jordan Farmar/Shammond Williams
SG Kobe Bryant...Sasha Vujacic/Aaron McKie
SF Vladimir Radmanovic...Luke Walton/Maurice Evans
PF Lamar Odom...Brian Cook/Ronny Turiaf
C Kwame Brown...Chris Mihm/Andrew Bynum


And our starting 5 for the season opener (and probably the first couple weeks) due to injuries:

PG Smush Parker
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Luke Walton
PF Lamar Odom
C Andrew Bynum

lol all of the Soccer threads he starts with no replies are absurd to.  But my point is this isnt done with every team so I'm not sure why threads like this are done with the Lakers (and dont say cause dubc has alot of Laker fans cause plenty of posters hate the team also)

LOL@comparing Lakers to any other team on WCC...You do realize there are probably more Laker fans on WCC than baseball and football fans combined, correct?

Von Wafer = Smush Parker Jr. And to think...we took him over Monta Ellis  >:(

LMAO...Wafer and Smush are two complete different types of players. And Monta Ellis woulda flopped just as bad in the triangle, just as Wafer woulda' been extremely succesful in Golden States system...PeACe

How so? They're both inconsistent offensively and weak defensively. Monta Ellis wouldn't have flopped - he's just better.

Wafer is a shooting guard, he's pretty much a poor mans Kobe...Smush is a NY PG with a completely different game...LOL@thinking Monta woulda done something under Phil. :-X

At the end of the day.,.

Fisher > Smush (shit, i think even Crittenton has more potential and skills than Smush)
Evans > Wafer (Evans is more a defender and a triangle player. He's a decent Kobe backup, man)

so fuck it.

Looks like the triangle is a terrible system as all the players would have done way worse in it  :laugh:

Evans is a good player, man. Just to let you know, he played in Italy, in Benetton Treviso (the team of Raptors GM and the former team of Bargnani, Nachbar, Garbajosa, etc..). He has averaged 8.4 points in 22 minutes last year, which is pretty impressive considering he's a defensive stopper. I'm happy about him. Triangle or not. Oh, and if you go to www.lakers.com you can see some of his best highlights in the front page.

Wow, you are so educated, aren't ya? LOL@that dumbass comment. Lots of players (Luke Walton, for example) thrive in the triangle and have a game that is customary for the system... ::)

Yea, Evans is good...I'd like to keep him as our first guard off the bench behind Kobe. Farmar will be the first point guard off the bench behind Fisher, splitting minutes with Crittenton...Critt will also play a little 2 as well. Sasha seems really useless as of now, unless he really improved his game...PeACe

I like Mo game.. even if sometimes his shots selection is very doubtful, there are some games he can't stop shooting even if none of them was falling ..

Looks like you can turn your mind on and off depending on what you want to think then... how bout you use your mind and realize that whenever a nigga succeeds at what he's doing, he's doing something right... so stop discrediting good people like Nash cause you don't respect the system he's in... and stop making all those absurd claims like Wafer > Barbosa lmao... get that nigga signed to a running team and see what happens... NBA ain't summer-league.

Turn your mind off and on? What the hell are you saying, man? We've been given a mind so that we can use it...Now, you may choose not to use it, but I do. Don't get mad at me for it. Luke Walton is a slow-footed, IQ dependant type of player. This fits in a system like the triangle. Wafer is a free-based player with way more skill and athleticism than Luke. He fits in a run and gun system with very limited sets. He would flourish in Phoenix...Now, I don't know for sure whether or not he'd be better than Barbosa in the system, but in my opinion, he has the assets to score 20 points a game in a system like that...Do you wanna debate that properly, or do you just wanna talk shit like a jackass?
