Is it even realistic..? I mean really, Kwame has been soft his whole life, bynum should be gettin' teary cloths minutes.. Id rather have Bynum gettin Mary Browns minutes, and Still have The Caron.
But, could we pick up hunter? |

Wasn't he picked up recently by another team?
Even if he were available, he's too athletic and too defensive minded for us to give him a shot.
We have preference for severly challenged athletes with supposedly good passing skills and shooting skills (only in practice) when it comes to player acquisition. |

| Traded to the hornets...but the trade has been held up, rumor is he did not pass his physical, may have knee problems. That's the rumor, I may be wrong. |

Hahaha.... no.
It would be much better if the Lakers made a habit of bringing in players that fail physicals elsewhere. That way when they sit on the injured list for an entire year, guys like you always have the "if so-and-so were playing thing'd be different" card to play. |

5 year, 16 mil contract. If the years were shorter I'd make a play for it, but I doubt Mitch/Buss/Phil want to tie up another 3.5 mil a year for 5 years. Unless it is for a defensive juggernaut like Slava.

| You do not want Hunter - very soft on defense and cannot rebound period. |
