Ex Lakers Lin, goes to the Hornets. 2 years $4 mil

He can thank the rockets for over reacting and giving him 3 years and 25 million.  Now he gets 2M per year. And the lakers were smart enough to get Lin for the third year where he collected 15m  of the 25.

So the previous rumor he was going to Dallas, via trade. However, after the DJ saga in Dallas Lin is going to Hornets.

Speaking of DJ, around less than an hour to see if he signs with the Clips.

I heard if that happens Dallas might do a sign and trade for Hibbert and Ellis. And the Lakers will be out in the cold. (In use to it lol)
 
So ESPN is saying that the clipper crew is staying with dj until he can sign, lol
And dj haven't been returning Dallas' calls

Is too late for Kobe to skateboard over to Aldridge's house and lock him in until he signs with the Lakers?

I've a feeling it's also partially because of Kobe he didn't want to sign.  He'll have a chair propped against the door so Kobe doesn't get in, lol

Lou Williams officially signs with the Lakers... Byron Scott was not holding him hostage.

Also, Brandon Bass.

The Pacers and Lakers trade went through for Hibbert.
 
Lakers probably dodged a bullet by not drafting Okafor.

3 summer games so far
44% from FG and 31% FT's. and playing against undersized PF/C
Mickey - 6'8, 230 lbs
Lalane - 6'9, 240 lbs
Cooley - 6'9, 240 lbs
 
Okafor might be better in a few years (only a handful of bigs are ready their rookie year... even AD took 2 to 3).

But Russell is prime time (OpenSky where are youuuuuuu?!?!?!).
 
I watched 13 min of scouting report on youtube Draft Express for Upshaw. Good pick up for the Lakers as he was undrafted. Looks like a project, but he looks like a good defender. Not polished on offense like Okafor. #norisk

Hassan Blackside is Upshaw's upside

So is there upside to Upshaw? Can he be yaliu's big man?

Undrafted. He got released in college?
But I heard he is a beast. (Good shot blocker)

I hear people compare him to that center at Miami, I fort his name. (Lazy to look up)

not to mention Okafor has a slow motor. he won't ever become a defense demon like AD. At best he can be Al Jefferson but with the low FT %. He won't be a franchise center, while Russell with his passing acumen he could transform a team.
