But as it stands, Smush has way more tools to keep him in as a solid back up.
Guys, Mitch has already said that the team is sticking together. Shrek Dogg here! I know you been goin through some changes lately. On another note, I've made my official push for Shannon Brown from Michigan State as the guy for the Lakers to pick in the first round. Kwame had trouble with the little guys, but he manhandled Duncan, Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, and Ben Wallace. But if its Marion you want, you have to trade Kwame! I'm in favor of having Kirk, Kobe, Lamar, Marion , and Mihm instead of Kwame taking the 5 spot. These types of players and deals are the only ones Kupchak can make happen. Hope to make at least 1 of the up coming rides,If not see you next year,Keep up the great work on the best show on sunday nights. Bynum will get minutes and begin to show consistent sparks of genius. But for the Next 5 years this is KOBs world and we are all just "witnesses".
But I don't think everything is quite as simple or definitive as you're making it out to be. The game that is his life has slowly become a no-win situation. Lamar is working hard this summer and for what Kwame said he is listening to whatever management tells him to do. Can't get enuf of those bikes! Me and the old man ride our own bikes, weather permitting. We're obviously not going to convince the other and it's kept up a while. This is the NBA, make it happen or get the eff out. The main reason I don't want Garnett is because I want Bryant to make a run at the greatest ball player ever.
My only complaint is that " The show needs to be longer!!!". Him and Ford play the same position and he was big time until Ford cut his PT. Live to Ride Ride to Live!!! Me and my brothers all Ride. Well said cbuck we can not have Shaq win a championship before our man Kobe. But as it stands, Smush has way more tools to keep him in as a solid back up. Now, granted, Cavs coach Brown did Detroit a huge favor by playing Larry Hughes 26 minutes and putting him in the middle of the floor rather than LeBron during that time.
Bynum isnt going anywhere if not for the age or talent or size and not for him beeing liked or the coaching staff wanting him well it appears that jimmy the doc s son doesnt want to give up his litle project. If we can get Kmart, sign Reggie Evans and Jason Terry. As far as the Kobe legacy thing, if that's a priority to you, fine. If it doesn't happen, we're fine, and a couple of pieces will do.
