[Proposed Trade] Juwan and RYBO for Mihm and McKie

I would sit tight, I don't think we have room for anyone else on this team, let's go with who we got !!

Why would the Lakers do this though? I don't mind. Mihm might be a little better than Juwan, and can play the 5.

 

Didnt Mckie just go down with back spasms? I thought Mihm was coming off major surgery as well. I'd pass.

 

Heck yeah I would take this deal and run and never look back.

Two expiring contracts for Juwan.

Man definately. I don't see why any of yall wouldn't take this deal.

 

"I wouldn't, because I'm the Lakers." - The Lakers

 

Hi the Lakers, nice to meet you.

 

They are what we call, "the exception".

Anyways, I'm assuming you know I was talking to the board in general.

 

Where is that old random trade thread?

 

Whatever happened to that Lakers fans who went bbs crazy when people doubyed his trade rumour that primarily involved jho and mihm?

 

It's a no brainer on our end......if Mihm is healthy enough to play and contribute backing up Yao. We get a decent backup 5, expiring contract, cut Aaron and walk away with a fresh Trade Exception of about $4.8 million. Can't see why LA does it though.


However, I wonder if LA would do the deal if it was Juwan and Rybo for..........Kwame???? We tack on another $1 million or so on to our salary but Kwame's contract is one year shorter than Juwan's. Next year, he becomes a $9 million expiring deal. Wonder if LA would bite on that deal? Yeah, Kwame is overpaid and a lunkhead. This deal is all about moving out from under Juwan a year early and having Kwame's contract as an expiring asset to be able to use in trade next year, and get some backup 5 minutes out of him this year. Besides, when Sura retires in a month or two, we will lose his $3.8 million anyways.

 

Wasn't Kwame the #1 up-and-coming surprise player in the NBA in some article posted a couple of weeks ago?

Our own Chuck Hayes was number 7 or 8...

 

This is strictly about Juwan for Mihm. Mckie and bowen are simply filler parts that would be cut. For the Rockets it's a no brainer. They get out of JHo's nasty contract for an expiring contract. Anything Mihm gives them on the court is a bonus. So you have to ask your self do the Lakers really want to take on JHO and his bigger contract. He's got 3 more years and he is already slow. He does bring an above average middle offensive game but not much else. So I would say unless Phil Jackson is in love with JHo or sees some way he could fit in the triangle, the answer is no trade.

 

I thought this deal was supposed to go down a few months ago per an insider that posted on this board and a multi-page thread.
