I mean the man just says absolutely nothing, and does it in a way that you'd think nothing would EVER hapen with this team. Sheesh....he really needs to go for more reasons then some other obvious ones, as in he's sucking any life out of the post season you could ever develop for the team.

Check out Thorpe's blog on Redick as well. I'm telling you Redick would be a great fit for the Lakers. He's clearly the best shooter in the draft and has the intangibles to mesh with Kobe and skills to exploit the double-triple teams. If he does indeed slip as today's rumors suggest, the Lakers should trade up and grab him. Check out DraftExpress’ latest articles on Reddick in the interview with David Thorpe.

"We're not going to trade Andrew. We're very happy with his progress." Responding to rumors about trading Lamar Odom or Chris Mihm, Kupchak said, "We're not trying to trade Lamar, Chris or Andrew." Kupchak said the Lakers won't necessarily address their need at guard with the 26th pick. He doesn't expect a low pick to contribute immediately. http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/sports/pros/article_1194467.php

Trade Mihm for a top notch combo guard, draft a 4, use the MLE on a backup 4/5. Cook's off season assignment: get better at D.

We need to add length and athleticism to the this team, ager brings it on the offensive end, jones has the potential to be an aretest-like defender. i like some of the pg's but i am hesitant to draft another young pg when we already have smush and sasha, another rookie pg is not wise, we need a to use the mle on a vet pg. sign bobby jackson sign rush jackson/smush kobe/rush walton/ager/jones odom/turiaf brown/ bynum we still have sasha, mihm and cook as trade bait for another pf or sf. anyway, even if they stand pat, im excited for this team again, we arent that far off. p.s. kurt- although eissen is out, asamoah and muntari are back and robbyno is out, ghana is a young team and they dont even know they should be intimidated, therefore, watch out because tommorow morning the black stars are gonna shock the world. three days away from the draft, im pretty upbeat, last year kupchack had a good draft (assuming bynum pans out and turiaf comes back fully recovered). i hope we can grab Maurice Ager in the first round and Bobby Jones in the second.

If so, I think he's probably too old for our purposes, though it'd be nice to have another scoring option.
