Re: Point Guard options
Wait can Lamar TE 8.9 million be use to get Harris?
Harris has one more year at 8.5 right??
But he is owed 9.3 this season??? Somebody help me with the numbers on this.

Re: Point Guard options
I know guys like Hinrich and Jack would be huge upgrades to what we have now, but I would rather find a point guard who can regularly break down defenses and get guys open shots. Hinrich and Jack, while both solid players, don't really do that consistently.

Re: Point Guard options
I like the Aaron Brooks option....
We need a speed guy who can sink shots.... We really only have
one penetrator (Kobe) which leads to everyone watching Kobe
do his thing... even when he's triple teamed!!!

Brooks can't get out of China until March....unless we make a deal to pay them off. I would love to have him!!!!

Re: Point Guard options
As it stands, this laker team is not a serious contender for the title. They should trade Bynum + Morris + Goudelock + 1st and 2nd round pick for Dwight Howard. Then send the TE and 2nd round pick to the Hawks for Kirk Hinrich
PG: Hinrich/Blake/Fisher
SG: Bryant/Kapono
SF: Barnes/Peace/Ebanks
PF: Gasol/McRoberts
C: Howard/Murphy

Re: Point Guard options
Hinrich is not really what we need at PG and Harris would be awful don't need a 29 year old honestly... would prefer someone younger and quicker. Harris still is decently quick but injuries have slowed him some and he can't shoot.

Re: Point Guard options
Let's remember folks, the Lakers need an upgrade at PG for defensive purposes. Hinrich is probably the best as they come in that regard. If he doesn't work out his 8.1 mill comes off the books by the end of this season as well. Better risk than Devin Harris who has 9.3 mill left on his contract next year and not known for his defense.
Jarrett Jack is another option if New Orleans wants to shed some more salary.

Re: Point Guard options
I would trade bynum plus filler for D12 and then turn Pau into couple of role players like scola/martin/lowry
Pau for D williams/Beasley/wes johnson/filler
Lakers dont need a BIG 3....they can win with Dwight/Kobe and bunch of good role players like scola/lowry and martin to come off the bench plus who is an expirer next year

OK........If we trade for a PG who then comes off the books, we'll be in a worse spot next year than we are now....right?
I hope we are not dumb enough to attempt a trade with Stern again.......kinda like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football with Lucy holding it....(Ok, I'm old) only to have her repeatedly move the ball causing him to land on his head. Let's not be that guy. I'll bet Stern has told every NBA team to turn down any trade the Lakers offer.

Pipe dream dude....
Any how I'm all for getting Howard now for future purposes. Players will make their way to LA in the future if we get him. Yes we need a pg but a franchise big man is harder to find. And no Bynum is not that. I would give up both Bynum n Gasol and get Howard turkeyboy n Nelson.

Bingo! I believe many people, both Laker fans and non-fans alike, who talk about the Lakers needing a PG, not Howard, are only thinking of now. A ring doesn't seem likely this year so they might as well prepare for the future. Bryant has another 2-3 years of elite production and Howard along with the right supporting cast could yield one last hurrah. Not to mention the Lakers just made that Time Warner TV deal last year.

Re: Point Guard options
How about hire AI for cheap or temporary hire until we get true young PG? He could be of use to us for now I think. At least he can be that other guy other than Kobe to attack the paint.
