i'd do the trade just for mihm if he was healthy. juwan howard sucks. he can shoot from the elbow but that's it. he's a horrible defender and average rebounder at best. mihm can play defense, block shots, provide size, rebound, and while he's not known for his offense he has good fundamentals to score in the post. he's also got great instincts on rebounds and putbacks, that's why he'd be very useful to the team. this also helps get rid of juwan.

head is a fan favorite but he's a mediocre player at best. sometimes when the fans like a certain player they imagine he is better than he actually is. you need to give some to gain some. brian cook can shoot the ball ala a better version of scott padgett.

In July 17, my source told me that Howard to Lakers trade was absolutely dead.

I just hope the Rox are trying to get rid of Howard. He's getting too old, can't play D, and can't protect Yao. He wouldn't be a starter on any other team.

TracywtFacy

head is a good player and has a real future in this league, and is probably our next most valuble trade asset now stro and gay are gone... I want him to stay, but he has to go, I want more value than a couple of lakers bums...

incidentally, good luck to battier in team USA - rox represent!

Theres no way I'd make this deal. Juwan is still better all around than any of those guys. And Head is way better than Mckie he totally stinks. Cook is a poser, and Mihm has been a dissapointing center as a professional. God i hope this is just a rumor, if you're gonna trade away two of your core, it needs to be to improve not go sideways or backwards???

I basically would only trade Howard at this point for like Jared Jeffries, nobody else would really make us better? Trading with the Lakers for anyone not named Kobe is just stupid...

I believe in you Ballscientist.
I think Howard is being shopped, but not to the Lakers.

enough with Jeffries am i the only one who thinks jeffries suck and won't help or want him on our team? can someone tell me why we want jeffries other then he is young and a 11th over all pick? from the games i watch on him he does nothing that catchs the eye and doesn't have any stats that stand out can someone tell me why you guys like him that much? iam really sick of this guy i think he really sucks

Hakeem

I'd definitely do this if Mihm and Cook are healthy. They're young and they're improving. And they fit our needs. Howard and Head are going to be fighting for minutes with Snyder, Spanoulis, Battier and Hayes, anyway.

darkballa

I'd keep Howard and Head than get those 3 scrubs.
