Sasha's Out at Least Two Weeks
That's the dealio with his sprained right shoulder. But cheer up: Houston waived Brian Cook today! Who's down for bringing B Cook back to the Lakers?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Josh Powell
He can shoot and rebound. Brian Cook would just jack up three after three after three. It was like there was an incentive in his contract to shoot a million threes.

Damn
Sucks about Sasha. He was actually playing half decent. Looks like a good time for Kobe to come back so that Shannon can move back to his original role which shrinks the need for Sasha.

i remember when cook was on the lakers
he was god awful…he kept bricking jumper after jumper after jumper…and if it wasnt jumpers it was 3s…
no thanks…unless you want to make the bench worse…

UH Oh! Lukes out and sasha's out
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
good thing
that Jordan and Shannon are playing well. Bench is in good hands, especially when Lamar will return to the second unit. Not really worried.

Failing to plan is planning to fail!!!
It’s one of my favorite sayings, but I couldn’t understand why the Lakers ran only 13 players (12 if you agree that Ammo is not a true NBA player) when the season started. I kept saying that I know they want to save money, but what happens if someone gets hurt. Well, that day has come and we are down two more players and now we have to play (gasp) Ammo spot minutes. I wonder if saving the $2 million dollars will be worth it when we have play Ammo if anyone else goes down. Also imagine if we had those bench players. We could have packaged one or more of those guys with Ammo to get Hinrich or someone else who could have helped the Lakers. No plan, no help. Thanks again Mitch for not planning ahead.
Great players win games. Great teams win championships.
aww, just when the guy started to pick it up a little.
hope this doesn’t take another mental toll on him…just in case we might need him again since luke is out. i think he actually plays the 3 better than the 2 nowadays with the shannon/jordan backcourt. if only he’d bulk up a little.
The Lakers backcourt is a bit thin. Nobody is available to back up Brown or Artest.
I wonder if the Lakers would signed a wing player to a 10-day contract that knows the triangle. Coby Karl? Joe Crawford?
Yeah, Kupchak will have to make a 10-day signing
We’re awfully thin on the wings.
Amusing thing? McGrady definitely has something left in the tank. He put that line up with Sefolosha guarding him.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Major coup by the Knicks because they have his bird rights, I think.
The Knicks could make him a sixth man after signing two All Stars, or one All Star and a couple very good role players.
major coup for my fantasy team as well :D
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Fuck, even when Kobe comes back, how do we handle the backup SF minutes with both Sasha and Luke back?
I think Stackhouse got picked up, otherwise I’d say go for him, but now I dunno who we should get.

sasha's only out for 2 weeks...
we’ll probably just see increased minutes at the 2 for shannon and more SF duty for kobe (and maybe lamar)
Its at least two weeks. Shoulder sprains are nasty. The Lakers would be wise to sign somebody
to a 10-day for depth purposes. They have no one backing up SF or SG at the moment. Extending Kobe at SF isn’t a wise considering he is returning from an injury. I suppose Phil could put Powell as a back-up to Artest, but the Mitch really go out and get someone who is comfortable on the perimeter.
kobe can play 20 mins at the 2 and 10+ minutes at the 3
phil loves that small ball lineup with kobe at the 3 anyways.
i’m not worried about extended minutes for kobe. if you really want to down his minutes, just let kobe took over sasha’s minutes, which is only like 15 min/game for the last 5 games. and i’m pretty sure kobe will be playing at least 30+ a game (unless it’s a blowout where he gets to sit the 4th).
I’m not against signing a 10 day contract though. i’m just saying that if kobe comes back and assuming no more people get hurt, the guard rotation will be just fine. if anything, LO can also fill in at the 3
That's true, but I think the Lakers should be cautious and just sign another player.
An injury to the backcourt during Tuesday’s game would make things a little hairy. Be cautious and just sign a player. It’ll be hella cheap since the contract is prorated.
Haha, he went to the Gym and put up his shots left-handed
Kobe, much?

wally szczerbiak anyone???
the cavs let him go this year
he can fill in sasha’s spot and play small forward
plus he can hit the 3 of course….
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
hes 6'7"
he can play at shooting guard or small forward (aka 3)
we should go for him…
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
Yeah, but he has two left feet. Wally can't play the two either.
I don’t think he’s played that position in years. He’s played the three or four with the Cavs.
Othyus Jeffers fits the bill, but signing a D-League is super highly unlikely.
Just listing names
Von Wafer, Gerald Green, Wally Szczerbiak, Coby Karl.
Eh, probably Wafer.

Nope
Well, he was. Think he tried to sign with Memphis earlier this year.

Tony Gaffney might be available for not a lot of money.
He was the last guy cut from training camp, and everyone seemed really high on him, but the Lakers didn’t want to spend the money. They might reconsider that now.
Gaffney wouldn't be a bad choice
Not sure if he has a buyout clause in his contract though.

gerald green is bizarro Shannon Brown

wow…. the injuries just keep coming this year! i dont remember us having such a bad injury year in a whilee….
bynum u better be careful, it would be nice to have u 100% for at least one postseason!
In Kobe we trust!
the rest of the team is taking the sacrifice for bynum
in the form of smaller injuries
though, i wonder if we should sit him on tuesday (even though it’s already february)
Eddie Jones, anyone?
Just kidding. Trevor would have been perfect. I’d even take Radmanovic for the 3 spot. But to be realistic: Coby Karl, Ira Newble, Von Wafer.
Machine broken!
