Who do you suggest to Lakers?
Those are the best ones with no restrictions, IMO:
Kendall Gill
Walter McCarty
Charles Oakley
Trajan Langdon
Voshon Lenard
Mookie Blaylock
Walt Williams
Kevin Willis
Travis Best
Isaac Austin
Rod Strickland
Malik Rose
Terry Porter
Quincy Lewis
Scott Padgett
Bryon Russell
John Starks
Tyrone Nesby
Popeye Jones
Gary Trent
Troy Hudson
Raja Bell
Corie Blount
Dan Majerle
Rodney Rogers
John Wallace
Chose 3:
I go with Malik Rose (great PF), Gary Trent (they called him the Shaq of the Mac) & Mookie Blaylock (good defender as PG).
If we buy those 3 we will have a great bench IMO.
Shaq, Horry, Fox, Kobe & Fisher
+Walker, Rose, Trent, Blaylock, Shaw & i hope George too. Plus a rookie, Madsen and other minor players. We still need a 3pts shooter IMO, but none is really good from the Free Agent list. Maybe Blaylock is the best one.

Malik Rose
Charles Oakley
Tyrone Nesby
where is Jeff McInnis in your list?
or Chauncey Billups
Rashard Lewis?
-
Eric Piatkowski is one of them too.

McINNIS, ROSE & TRENT.
I think Billups and Rashard Lewis aint real free agents, but it's a team option or a player option.
Like Bibby. He's a team option. I just wrote a quick list of totally free agents.

u sure they are not unrestricted?

I think he retired due to a big injury.

Antonio, I heard Juventus were after Walt Williams for £20m
He's probably better than Trezeguet lmao

Actually Nash, Stojakovic and Kobe Bryant plays pretty well at soccer. LOL. Juve is probably interested in them more than in The Wizard. Btw Walt is a legend! Too ghetto. LOL! To bad he's dying in Houston right now! :(

id rather see rodney rogers go back to the clippers....as for the lakers i dont wish any player go to their team...it just ruins their career

LMAO! That's the dumbest post ever! Sorry.
If you are talking about Richmond, he didnt play for 3 single facts:
1) He's 37 years old
2) Lakers didnt need him, but his hella fat contract to expire this summer
3) He knew it!
About Rice...
1) He failed in New York and in Houston too. Let's say he didnt return at 100% after his injury in Charlotte. And let's say he was broken too. C'mon.. be real. Plus he never made his shots. You gotta be a star to play "as a star" with Kobe & Shaq. I mean.. if you dont have the balls to shoot your shoots, then it's better Fox, who at least can defend.
2) He still played a lot winning a title as a starter
3) Actually he ruined Lakers (because of the trade Jones-Campbell), not viceversa! And he was a free agent after 1 year with Lakers. So we didnt ruined him at all. He won a title and signed with NY as a free agent.
-
they should get Keon Clark for PF!...
-
If I was in a NBA free agents shoes I wouldnt go tha Lakers, (of course its a guarenteed ring)....but for yo career it does slow down yo carrer......u know ur not gonna start and u know that when u get in tha game u not gonna get yo shots cuz Kobe and Shaq get most tha shots.....u cant prove ur talent on LA cuz u dont get alot shots to prove yoself...where if u went to anotha team (of course u not gonna win as many games) but u would at least get to show ur talent!! Thats like T-Mac when he left Toronto to go to tha Magic.....he wasnt gettin alota shots cuz Carter was tha star.....then when he went to Orlando......he shined!!

I doubt any of these guys have a hidden talent. and anyway if your a PF , u are gonnna start. Cuz almost any damn PF is better than Samaki Walker. LAkers dont start horry till the playoffs or late in the season. So if your a PF u would want to go to the lakers.

Yeah, but let's be honest! Fox and Fisher aint 100% sure too. I mean.. Fisher aint in the top 5 PG of the league and it's the same with Fox (he aint probably in the top 10 SF of the league!). And we all know the only 2 good things of Samaki Walker are that he's still 25 and Free Agent.

Look man.. are you actually joking or what? When Lakers first acquired Rice from Charlotte, he already missed that season due to a bad injury, and he played just less than 30 games, all with Lakers. Scoring 17.5 points. The following year, he still scored 16, and the Lakers won the title. Ok, he didnt score 22 or more points no more (like he used to do), but damn.. he played alone in Miami and Charlotte. He was the bomber. And Lakers already had Shaq and the young Kobe. So he played a great season IMO. The following year he finished in New York, scoring 12 points. And the Houston, scoring 8. Well.. actually Lakers time was been the best one of his career. He got a ring, and he'll have it forever! I think New York ruined him, cause he didnt start no more (75 games, 25 starts), and the team already had too much shooters (example? Houston). So blame New York, not Lakers.
About Richmond.. what 37 years old has to do with the fact that he didnt play with us? Man.. it's the same thing here. He played 13 seasons in the NBA scoring more than 20 points a game. But no titles. A looser. Wizards didnt want him cause he was garbage. He had a fat contract and he was ruining Wizards. So Lakers acquired him, because of his fat contract (they'll have a lot of money this summer), of his experience and because he added a mix of maturity and leadership to the team. Doesnt matter if he played only 67 games, starting in 2, with 11 minutes per game played. And 0 games in the Play Offs. Lakers acquired him for a specific role. And it wasnt to start with us, or to lead the bench in minutes.
-
Guard: Bruce Bowen- Defensive stopper
Guard: Greg Anthony- Defensive stopper, occasional 3
Center: Kevin Willis- Back Up Shaq
Center: Scott Williams- Back up Shaq
That would be tight if the Lakers can get 1 or 2 of these players.

lakers need to get rid of that faggot samaki walker..he ain't doin shit...and also mark madson.

Well.......bad news, samalki walker excercised his option to extend his contract yesterday.......meaning he's here for another year :( he was the weak point in the playoffs as vlade took him to school several times.....I wish they can still add another power foward....I heard the miami heat are tryin to trade Brian Grant and that charles Oakley might leave the once mighty chicago bulls....I would rather see charles oakley a laker because of his shooting and intimidating defensive skills! >:(
