the trade i would like to see go down for the lakers is shipping tracy murray and samaki walker to golden state for fortson. the salaries work and i'll explain why i think it works for both teams.
the lakers get a rebounding monster who plays with much more intensity than walker. with the re-signing of george, murray will get zero minutes. plus it opens up an extra roster spot for the lakers to re-sign shaw AND a back-up center.
the warriors are desperately trying to trade fortson's contract and have already said they plan on moving jamison back to power forward. both contracts(murray and walker) are off the books next offseason, just in time to make a run at local products jason kidd or gary payton.
