Lakers first two cuts - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

Reeves Nelson and Ronnie Aguilar. No surprise here, these were the only two players in camp that never had any chance of making the team.

Still 18 players. Hoping they cut Splooge, Johnson-Odom and Morris. Or trade Duhon to a team desperate for a backup for a 2nd rounder or something and keep either Morris or Johnson-Odom.

I'd rather keep Johnson-Odom and cut Morris. Johnson-Odom brings energy and hustle off the bench...despite not really finding his outside shot yet. Our bench needs that kind of contribution. I have not seen any current or future benefit to justify keeping Morris...unless I missed something.

I have a feeling Goudelock is next to go. Meeks already gives us what Glock provides.

To that point what do Johnson-Odom and Morris do that Blake and Duhon don't?

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 10-23-2012, 09:45 AM

Besides being younger and having more upside? If I had the choice I'd cut Morris and/or Earl Clark instead of Glock but unfortunately Morris and Clark are guaranteed. The Lakers payed for DJOs rights and he's the 2nd best athlete on the team so why not keep him. Glock is undersized for the 2 , most notably on the defensive end, and he can't play the point. DJO while being undersized too is built stronger and is more capable to guard the 2 spot and is the better defender.

I thought CDR had a good shot at making the team. He seems like someone that might be able to actually get a shot for himself! Somogyi was a no brainer.

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 10-27-2012, 12:21 PM

Well I was right about Goudelock. Lets see if they cut DJO now.

**Laker Freak** · 10-27-2012, 02:06 PM

Feel bad for the guy. He was never going to be a starter in the league but I always thought he had Eddie House potential.

e-monk · 10-27-2012, 02:10 PM

his game didnt develop - he is what he was which was not enough last year and there was more competition this season

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 10-27-2012, 02:23 PM

Wish him nothing but the best. Once a Laker always a Laker.

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 10-27-2012, 02:24 PM

Speaking of former Lakers. Apparently Farmar and Sasha are lighting up the Euroleague. Lol

**Luke** · 10-28-2012, 03:16 PM

Dumbo isn't in the league anymore? I knew he was a backup in NJ a while back but I hadn't heard anything about him in a while. Weird.

**Cris** · 10-28-2012, 03:52 PM

On July 11, 2012, Farmar, Anthony Morrow, Jordan Williams, Johan Petro, DeShawn Stevenson and a 2013 first round draft pick were traded to the Atlanta Hawks for Joe Johnson.[25] Atlanta waived Farmar on July 16.[26]

On July 12, 2012 he signed a three-year contract with Anadolu Efes in Turkey.[27]

He didn't waste any time! Three years too.

e-monk · 10-28-2012, 04:01 PM

right now I'd take Farmar back to play off our bench
