I imagine Shaq saying that!

Right now they have only 4 guards on the roster.

Kobe, Fish, Blake, and Brown. I just feel they are now a little thin there and adding a little more quality depth at that position wouldnt hurt. Parker would be a great fit on the floor and on the books as his deal expires this season. Just thinkin out loud.

maybe for most teams but with phils system you can insert a sf into the backcourt if needed or odom in a pinch

right now the lakes have both blake and brown playing near 20 mpg fish at just over 20 mpg and kobe just over 30 mpg and sasha playing nothing... it was a strategic move mostly, get a big body in there for garbage time and gain some flexibility to make a move down the road if needed

Meh, both Blake & Brown are very good back ups & if needed Barnes can play at the guard spot a few min. When healthy this team is very deep.

Now Mitch can concentrate on using that $5 million to bring in a kick-ass player.

And Beyonce.
And Proky's White Russians though he also needs some drinks.
Sorry.. cheesy Kanye reference.

U listen to Nicki Minaj?

Whilst Williams is an ultra talented explosive scorer, he also is an ball hog who dosent like to make that extra pass. I hope he learns to buy into the team game scheme we have right now.

[oh the horror]

Im not mad at the Lakers at ALL. Sasha literally NEVER GOT ANY MINUTES. Dude was HARDLY on the floor for LA.


So, you save a ton of cash, AND you get alittle big man insurance just in case we need it down the line? Not too shabby at all.

[chazzy]

Financial move, Joe Smith is just a bonus insurance big guy. Giving up the 1st rd pick also saves up 1.5 mil that can towards a new Shannon contract too.

[macpierce]

now kobe doesnt have somebody to carry his bags for him
or pound his chest before games

[Ruh-Roh]

I can't stand the fact that Sasha has 2 rings. I dislike him the most of anyone in the NBA...just something about him makes me not want him to be successful, which is pretty uncharacteristic of me towards others.

It's funny/ironic because I love Brian Scalabrine, and despite their somewhat similar roles on their respective teams, I see him completely differently.

The fact he's getting shipped off to the Nets makes me really happy inside for horrible reasons, but happy nonetheless.

Sasha got two rings with the Lakeshow...made those two huge free throws in the Finals....what more can he want from the Lakers? Now he gets a chance to get more minutes in New Jersey. He will get a opportunity to play.

Thanks for those free throws Sasha!

Laker fans are going to come in here and state how good Joe Smith is and how he fits perfectly. LMFAO

yea just like the Cavs Fans thought SHAQ and Bronze will bring them a championship

[Samurai Swoosh]

Good Riddance, Sasha
