Meeks gives the Lakers a Big 6.

[TylerOO]

He's really good

[Droid101]

Meeks would be a HUGE pickup. I doubt it happens.

[Zedja]

Make it happen.

[Batz]

I don't get the Jodie Meeks obsession. Incredibly streaky shooter, and that's his only upside, and it's not a promising one at that.

I see your argument and raise you Steve Blake

Okay so they both suck, so we should have both. Love the logic here.

Not many options but I'll take anything over Steve "Dishboy" Blake.

ive never heard of this guy i dont think

who and what is he?

He is a body on the bench that can play the 2

BUT WHERES HOWARD??

Exactly :lol

:biggums:

You don't follow the NBA except the Lakers?

He had been the 76ers starting SG for awhile before Evan Turner took his job from him last season.

As the time passes, my feelings for acquiring Howard start to lessen. I really like Bynum and I want him to stay in the purple and gold :cry:

Meeks or Rush would be a great fit for their bench.

My only question is did summer league make Lakers management give up on Andrew Goudelock?

He was absolutely terrible in Vegas, but I had thought he was going to get a bigger role this season as a backup SG. He's more of a natural scorer than both Meeks & Rush and could be as good of a shooter.

[ncrizzle]

Meeks is very one dimensional

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

I would prefer Terrence Williams and Donte Green at min

[Batz]

Meeks is very one dimensional
Perfect way to sum him up.

[chocolatethunder]

Meeks is very one dimensional
Yes as a Sixer fan it pained me to watch him play. One dimensional about sums it up. He can shoot a little but is too small to defend and pretty much sucks at everything other than shooting and he's only ok at that.

[BlueandGold]

He's exactly what a lot of people said he was, an incredibly streaky scorer. Didn't see much of him in the NBA but i got to see him plenty playing for Kentucky. I believe he had a 40 or even 50 point game in the NCAA, which is what got him picked higher than he should have gone in the draft.

ya, i remember people around here started making kobe comparisons off a couple hot games he had :roll:

[Rekindled]

poor man's sasha vujacic

[ZenMaster]

Would be a good signing, bring him in off the bench but make sure he's on the court with either Nash(preferably)/Kobe + Gasol/Bynum, put him on the wing or corner and have him hammer down 40% on mostly open 3's.

how about just keep goudelock then, better 3 pt shooter , better defender, cheaper, can actually dribble into the paint

You think Goudelock is better than Meeks?

Hopefully he'll have to prove it.

Meeks hit 40% last season there wasn't a lockout, starting most games, last year he hit 37% also starting most games. He's more proven than Goudelock and Lakers are looking to win now.

[wally_world]

They definitely need more shooters so it'll be a good pickup if they get him.

I may not have watched a lot of Meeks but I have a hard time believing that Goudelock is a better defender.

[PickernRoller]

He tries to defend, he just doesn't know what the f'ck he's doing + he can only guard PG anyways for his size. Also heard Mikey Brown doesn't like him...

It's either Ebanks or anything out there in free agency or via trade. Morris, Eyenga, Goudie, Sacre and DJO are all heading to the D-League.

meeks as a rookie 28% from three, last year 37% from three
Goudelock as rookie last year already 37% from three

plus Goudelock can dribble a basketball, meeks has literraly never got into the paint ever in the nba

[takai]

Would be nice depth on the bench, plus he's young. And God knows we need a few of them.

Goudelock only played 40 games at 10 minutes per... I like Goudelock but like I said he's note nearly proven for a team trying to win a championship. For him to receive playing time he should be able to beat a guy like Meeks out of the rotation, it's healthy to have competitions in those spots.

You're confusing Meeks into Goudelock's role last year where he was trying to make plays off the the bench, that's not what you bring in Meeks for. You bring him in for spacing the floor, not turning the ball over and shooting open corner jumpers on Nash pickn'rolls and playing somewhat honest defense on opponents bench players.

[roffie]

meeks would be a decent find for the lakers. he will definitely provide some much needed bench scoring..

why not get a shooting guard that can actually play defense and shoot better than meeks.

get a delfino, webster or someone lke that.

Meeks shot 20% from three in the playoffs, that is TERRIBLE

I don't know there could be a million different isues..

I just think if Meeks is what we can get it's OK, rather him than only Goudelock.

This team will need to be good at hitting shots in the half court, we're not going to be athletic or fast, so in order to minimize transitions defense situations we need players who can make shots and not turn the ball over, Meeks fits that bill.

Meeks played against two of the best three defensive teams in the league in the playoffs, too (his own team being one of those three).

Haven't really heard about this dude. But if he's a decent enough bench player, would can at least give up some points, get it done. That way, if Howard doesn't come through for us, then at least we have a decent bench to run with.

[KDTrey5]

meeks is money

[BoNafidde]

He would be a great pick up for the and he would be coming off the bench to provide much needed scoring. Their bench is horrible right now.

[DuMa]

Lakers seem to want Philly's scrub bench leftovers. first it was Kapono and now Meeks

[flipogb]

i only know him from his occasional use in fantasy basketball when half of Philly's players get injured

[Twiens]

Seriously doubt we could afford Delfino, maybe Webster

[wang4three]

Poor man's Michael Redd. Gets his buckets off screens and an ultra fast release. Redd has more skills with the ball and was taller while Meeks is probably barely 6'4". Meeks does seem surprisingly strong and has a beautiful jump shot.

You make this assumption off of 1 pick-up in the past 2 years? Go think about dick or whatever you do.

Meeks shot 23% from 3pt not 20% you liar. He only played 8mpg in the playoffs as well. You didnt include that stat in your silly rant. Watch this.

Meeks shot better than Melo from 3 in teh playoffs.
Meeks shot better than Melo from 3 in regular season.

THAT IS TERRIBLE!

This.
What I came to say.

I think with a squad like LA, having Kobe's work ethic rub off and playing with a great team including Nash, he can really flourish.
I like goudelocke. I think the kid is good too but Jodi is nice. I would like this pick up.

Lol. Jackass. That was funny.

[Levity]

I'd rather have the machine comes off the bench than him. Speaking of which, LA should try to convince him to come back to the nba. I think a lot of his short comings had to do with phil and sashas own weak mentality. He played just fine with the nets during his short stint there.

sasha was on straight fire in that 07-08 season. too bad he couldn't really replicate it again. i think he's the kind of guy that needs shots to get a rhythm, so he'd likely need 3-6 3PA's each game. if they can allow him to do that, i think he'd be a positive. his defense is pesky as well.

i agree. and with nash running the offense, he could easily take 5-6 wide open 3 pointers a game. and like you said, his pesky defense is what makes him more valuable than say jodie meeks, or any other 3 points specialist. he was able to get under a lot of players skin.

Did you forget about the CLUTCH free throws he very calmly made in Game 7 to put Boston away????? I'll take Sasha back with no hesitation.

[Batz]

Would love to have Sasha back, just not with a bad contract again.

[KeyNote]

I'd rather give Goudelock the proper shot...his 2nd season

they need to focus on the back up 3...or get a 2 that can spell at the 3 as well

josh howard, mcgrady, pietrus still out there and I'm pretty sure we can get one of the 1st 2 with the vet minimum
