Yeah the Budinger deal made me realize it.

Come Draft Night
With the draft just 2 days away, rumors are bound to start swirling. In fact, Michael Beasley’s name is being mentioned yet again with the Los Angeles Lakers. The proposed trade would have sent Beasley to LA in exchange for backup center Jordan Hill and a future first round pick. This would certainly help shore up the front court given Hill’s size and athletic ability that made him a #8 overall pick a few years ago.

According to sources close to the Timberwolves organization, Minnesota General Manager David Kahn told team owner Glen Taylor that the team was interested in pursuing a sign-and-trade with the Lakers in July.

One name that the team is reportedly interested in is Jordan Hill – the backup big man who played well for the Lakers in limited minutes since being acquired from the Houston Rockets in March.

Beasley could help the Lakers’ small forward position, where they had some issues last season. With Matt Barnes not expected to return and an uncertain future facing Metta World Peace, expect the Lakers to consider this option if Kahn and Minnesota indeed come calling.

Crazy NBA rumor that Lakers gonna trade Ron and Gasol to Wizards for that #3pick, Ariza and Blatche. I thought it was bs but it's picking up

Washington financially can't do that deal. On top of that, Ariza cannot be combined with another player in a trade for at least 2 months.

it's just a rumor, and I doubt its true but here's one I found:

This was by Marca, which is pretty big in Europe papers. But, terrible trade for Lakers. Lakers get D12 and LO back, Dallas get Pau and sign D-Will, while Magic gets Bynum. I doubt its gonna happen, and for now I am cool with going with Bynum as our starting big for the future.

honestly dude anything is better than the shyt we have now

give me something to spark some excitement

i _always_ hated we let ariza leave, the front office showed him no appreciation for his very instrumental play during that title run

Yeah, people tend to throw the Lakers name out there to get attention...99% of that stuff is bullshyt.

Especially that stuff about Pau going to Dallas with Deron. That's downright laughable.

i can see bynum / gasol going to the eastern conf, but i cant really see (unless it's a stellar deal getting d12 or something crazy) them going anywhere in the western conf to where it could bite the lakers in the ass during a playoff but stranger shyt has happened

The Lakers are interested in trading for Mo Williams, according to sources.
The Clippers are discussing a trade with the Mavericks for Lamar Odom, but Dallas is uninterested in taking on salary.
Williams played for Mike Brown while both were with the Cavaliers.

hrm..............im not too thrilled on Mo, streaky shooter, and i always felt it didnt show up when LBJ needed him with the cavs.. hrmm ya hrmm. im not too happy with that, *hopes that one doesnt happen*

he's more a SG though than a PG... so with KB24 he's just gonna ride the pines?

hrmm ya i dont like that move, hopefully that dont materialize
