Get it done Mitch,

I won't get excited about anything until something becomes official. At this point, it's a new rumor every day.

Good to hear. Hopefully he'll continue to bring that high energy and rebounding all season long.

**Luke** · 07-20-2012, 09:18 PM

Great signing.

**Damian Necronamous** · 07-26-2012, 09:03 PM

Alex Kennedy says we're still talking with Jodie Meeks. He'd be a great addition, and would definitely be worth dipping into that mini MLE if we need to.

Blake/Meeks/Jamison/Hill would be a huge upgrade on the bench - if any of Ebanks, Eyenga or McRoberts can contribute then it'd just be an added bonus.

Apparently they're considering bringing Eddie Jordan in as an Assistant Coach because Kobe Bryant wants to use the Princeton Offense? Is this true?

I'm curious to see how they use it, because to me it seems like something that would diminish the value of having Steve Nash as a floor general slightly, if they use it exclusively.

Wilt_The_Stilt · 08-01-2012, 07:21 AM

Anyone like the idea of trading for Rip Hamilton? Supposedly they are shopping him. I wouldn't mind a McRoberts and Eyenga for Rip deal. No idea what the Bulls are looking for though.

Isnt Rip making a ton of money still?

Wilt_The_Stilt · 08-01-2012, 03:08 PM

$5 million this year, next year his contract is only guaranteed for $1 million.

we need a perimeter defender who can hit treys which of either of those things is he?

Takes the pressure off of Nash to make every play. He mentioned that was one reason he came to the Lakers. And the offense would showcase Nash's underrated shooting ability.

We also need a capable backup for Kobe, which he is. He might not be ideal, but if we can't get someone like Meeks or Barbosa it would be something to look into.

I don't doubt the Lakers are interested in guys like Meeks and Barbosa, but I question whether they will come for the minimum as Mitch has said it is unlikely that we use the mmle.
