Non traditional player could be Weaver from OKC. seems to be the one on the outside looking in.

Looking for cheap PG who play defense and is not going to make everyone think that the Lakers are pulling another Pau trade, They could look at Royal Ivey. He is on a cheap contract, has good size for the position and has played well when given the chance.

The Lakers shouldn’t screw with their chemistry this year. They are the favorites to win it all – no sense making a desperation move.

Morrow is a bad fit. While he is absolutely lights out from downtown, his ball handling, passing, and defense are suspect. He couldn’t play the point, even on the Lakers.

Morrow would be awesome, but there is no way he’s going to be available to the Lakers.

I vote Roger Mason, Jr. for my outside the box PG acquisition. He is a free agent at the end of this season and can do what the Lakers would need from him: hit open 3s.

More than anything, you need someone who can stop penetration without needing help on D. Thabo Sefalosha would be nice. Another Thunder player who could would be nice, if he recovers from his injuries suffienently, is Shaun Livingston.

Why not go overseas and bring back the NBA vet Juan Carlos Navarro. Dude can shoot, he has good bball IQ, and he’s tight with Pau-pau. Im sure he’d kill for a chance at a ring with his best friend by his side. I just hope he still has the skills.

Another option would just to go big with Kobe at the point, Ron at SG, Odom at SF, Pau at PF and Bynum in the middle. No one will be able to score against them, but they’d have trouble vs teams that zone.

Finally, maybe they can trade away odom and some other pieces to dallas for terry and kris humphries. Or to Chicago for Hinrich (I think he’d be perfect too) and Taj Gibson.

Houston wants to get rid of Tracy McGrady because of potential Chemistry Issues. Philly wants to get rid of Elton Brand because they paid too much for a guy who was a work horse not a thoroughbred. Brand fits better in Houston and they are willing to take on more years to get rid of T-Mac. Perfict fit! Now comes the contracts. LA wants to reduce payroll, they get rid of the dead weight on the bench in (I’d rather Jim) Morrison and Sasha “The Miss-chine” Vujacic for a sharp-shooter with no “D” in Jason Kapono (another ex-UCLA player – which usually works out in LA – see Baron Davis, Farmar, Ariza, Jelani McCoy, Trevor Wilson). Okay maybe I’m kidding about the last two.

Back to the trade. Farmar probably leaves via free agency so go save Jarvis Crittenton from Washington (he already knows the system) throw in filler to make the contracts work (trade exceptions) and voila!!! You have great trades for everyone. I dare anyone to beat it!!!.

A lot of you seem to be down on Farmar, but according to 82 games, Farmar is the best PG on the Lakers:

Why would you want to trade your best option? Have you not watched the end of third to start of the fourth quarters this last month?

A trade that works on the ESPN trade machine that might not be flashy but would be perfect is Ammo’s expiring contract and Josh Powell for Rony Turiaf and C J Watson. Watson is 6 ’2″, has very good speed, plays good defense, and does not need the ball in his hands, and can hit the three at close to 40%. In hollingers opinion, “As such, he’s much more of a catch-and-shoot, off-the-ball point guard than a pure playmaker — a triangle offense point guard, basically. ”

Rony, who we all know and love, is a great triangle passer, good off ball defender and shot blocker, excellent energy and bench guy, and good finisher around the basket. He is basicallt the anti Powell. I think Powell might have more range on his set shot, but Rony is not bad squared up from 15 feet either. Plus, I think Powell is the worst finisher in the basket area, he gets his shot blocked more than ROn ROn, who looks like a overweight bull in a china shop. Trading Ammo would neccesitate a healthy Walton as AMmo is the only backup to ROn at the SF. Or, they could sign Stackhouse to be another vet off the bench at the 3
I miss Ariza, so am hoping Ron Ron proves his worth guarding Carmelo, Lebron and Pierce like advertised.
