I like Ross but he duplicates Ariza and we have enough people at the 3 at the moment. If we didn’t have Ariza I would definitely sign him. Even if we lose Sasha, I don’t see Ross being able to replace Sasha’s shooting. So although I like Ross as a defender and solid role player, I don’t think he is a good fit for our team.

read this in Hoopsworld today-

Having lost Elton Brand and Corey Maggette, the Clippers need dependable scorers and Azubuike certainly fits the bill. He’s already proven he can play with Baron Davis and is athletic enough that he should be able to contribute defensively.

The move probably means Quinton Ross’ days as a Clipper are over. Ross is nowhere as explosive as Azubuike offensively but he is one of the better perimeter defenders in the league.

Ross would be an ideal pickup for teams like the Lakers and Boston Celtics.

… so what do you guys think of Q Ross?

Brian is of course right… but lots of buzz about the Lakers trying to S&T Ronny… Maybe the Warriors want to ship us Harrington for Ronny + other (Farmar?).. who knows.. They seem to be shopping Harrington around with ferocity.

Um what is this talk of Azubuike S&T to the Lakers? I thought it was clear that he signed a Offer sheet from the CLIPPERS. That would make it impossible for him to be on any other team besides the Clippers or Golden State till at least December ’08.

174. What an intruiging idea, of bringing Azubuike to the Lakers. A much more athletic, scrappy, and great shooting 2/3 as a sign-and-trade with GS. Is that even permitted since Azubuike is already a restricted FA with a tender offer? Though Azubuike wouldn’t necessarily solve the Laker’s frontcourt depth, he wouldn’t be such a bad piece at $3mil per.

I guess if any sign and trade happened, it means that Turiaf simply prefers not to be in LA and would want an oppurtunity to play more minutes?

170 In the summer of 2006, Planini? and the New Jersey Nets agreed to a buyout.
On June 25th, 2008, Planini? signed a 2 year contract with the Russian League club CSKA Moscow. So my guess he’d have to buy out his contract with CSKA.

Maybe the Lakers are working out a S&T. Ronny for a S&T Azabuike.

Why do people keep mentioning bringing Kwame back? Are you nuts? He is not good at all. In any way. Benga is better than him. At least he can finish when he’s wie open. He actually dunks it instead of missing a lay up.

DrRayEye,
Whichever way the Lakers go,if they’re po’d at GS,why not make them wait,tying up their cap room for s long as possible?
And/Or,the Lakers are scrambling to get everybody to agree on what to do,trying to work out sign-n-trade,or just like the drama.
