NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
damn people dont understand that just having kwame on the floor, their roster HE MAKES THE LAKERS WORSE...its like if they team has more confidence since the team got rid of him, yes it may also be in part to getting Gasol but i think it has more to do with NOT HAVING KWAME
the lakers cant be stupid enough to want him back
Yes, absolutely take him back. Mbenga tore his ACL barely one year ago, and Mihm hasn't been healthy in two years. The only backup for Bynum would be 6'8" Turiaf, who for all his heart has no chance of guarding elite bigs like Duncan in the NBA. When healthy, Kwame is a superb on-the-ball defender. Of course, since coming back from injury he has been awful on both sides of the ball, but that's because he's injured and doesn't have heart. Mihm and Mbenga, while probably both superior players, aren't healthy, just like Kwame.

Well I think they should have one of them just for insurance purposes. Why let a open roster spot go to waste? Anyways I think Mihm should be the primary backup regardless, but for the third stringer I'll take Mbenga only because the fact that he got paid 9 mil and was traded for Caron doesn't enter your mind everytime he screws up.

If he came back at a price that was fair for someone who averages 6/6 and misses a crap load of games.. I'd be 100 percent fine with him. As long as I didnt have to worry about him starting unless emergeceys, etc... I'd be fine. The guys good for some fouls, and plays decent at times when he isn't starting.
If it was the full MLE, I'd say look somewhere else.
First of all, there are still some people out there... Like you.. That have faith Kwame can become something more than a scrub. Kwame, by virtue of age alone could probably get more than the vet min on another team willing to take a chance on his size. I wouldn't be surprised if he got over paid somewhere else.
If Kwame came back for the min... I'd be fine with it. To me that would say he understands he has to earn those fat checks, and wants to prove everyone wrong here with the Lakers. But honestly, Kwame will go to the best paying team. No surprise there.. He knows if a team is stupid enough to give him full MLE, that's money he'd be foolish to ignore.

Mbenga or Kwame?
