Possible Additions to the Lakers

PrintLike many Lakers fans, I often find myself doubting the ability of this year's Lakers squad to compete this year. The Lakers bench this year is the thinnest it's been in years. While the likes of Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, and Shannon Brown were never players to hang your hat on, they certainly had experience on their side. And while rookies Andrew Goudelock and Darrius Morris have shown flashes of serviceability, a more seasoned player would be preferable. The lingering injury to Steve Blake has got concern the Lakers faithful. Additionally, the loss of Lamar Odom and injury to Derrick Caracter has left the Lakers thin upfront as well. Gone are the days when D.J. Mbenga and Theo Ratliff could fill in for the occasional game missed by 1st time All-Star Andrew Bynum. And while Josh McRoberts is slowly becoming a fan favorite, he is a clear step down from Lamar Odom. Ironically, the only position we are relatively deep is the small forward position, which I akin to a box of chocolates: we never know what we're gonna get.
The depth issues has Lakers fans everywhere scrambling for other options. Below I have listed the names several players I've heard associated with the Lakers in the rumor mill over the past few days.
1) Ramon Sessions, Cle : Currently on the Cavaliers, multiple clubs have been inquiring the Cleveland front office. The addition of Session would immediately bolster the Lakers court, and decrease the wear on beloved 37-year old point guard Derek Fisher. While the move makes sense for both organizations given the emergence of Cav's 1st round pick, Kyrie Irving, given the protest by Cav's owner Dan Gilbert, who the famously vetoed Chris Paul-Lakers trade, it remains to be seen if Gilbert is in the business of helping large market organizations.
2) Aaron Brooks, FA: Brooks is a point guard Laker fans are all too familiar with. For the past couple seasons, his speed has only catalyzed demands ofor a replacement for Derek Fisher. On a thin Houston rocket team last year, Brooks put his penchant for scoring on full display, before being traded to Phoenix to play behind future hall of famer Steve Nash. He will be returning to from China soon, but unfortunately for the Lakers teams, big market teams like the Knicks and Heat will also be calling for his services.
3) Mo Williams, LAC: After landing CP3 and picking up Chauncey Billups on waivers, the Clippers suddenly found themselves with an overload of PG's. With Eric Bledsoe returning from injury, Mo Williams is all but expendable at this point. The question is whether Donald Sterling will be able to fight his instinct to shed salary in exchange for the Lakers 8.9 million trade exception by dealing the Clippers current 6th man to their Staples Center co-tenants.
4) Gilbert Arenas, FA: The artist formerly known as Agent 00 has been brought up as a possible addition to the Lakers backcourt. While Arenas has a history of being a deadly scorer, his history of being a locker room cancer is hard to overlook. However, beggars can't be choosers, and the Lakers are rumored to have contacted Arenas about a possible workout. It is not entirely clear how much Arenas has left in tank.
5) The Chinese: No, I do not mean the return of Yao Ming. With the Chinese Basketball Association season coming to an end, free agents Kenyon Martin, J.R Smith, and Wilson Chandler will be eligible to sign with teams by the middle of February. While none of these players will make the Lakers favorites to win the West, their addition certainly couldn't hurt. All 3 of these players are extremely versatile, and would give the Lakers another option at SF over the inconsistent play of Metta World Peace. J.R. Smith's shooting in particular would take the pressure off the Lakers's bench who have recently been forced to rely on rookie Andrew Goudelock for scoring. In the case of Kenyon Martin the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks have all reportedly expressed interest in the forward:
6) Rasheed Wallace, FA: Rumor has it that Rasheed Wallace wants to hang up his golf cleats and dawn the purple and gold. It has been rumored the forward contacted the Lakers about pulling a Brett Favre, and returning to the NBA.
Finally last but not least,
7) Dwight Howard, Orl: With each game the Magic lose, the further out the door Dwight Howard goes. While one has to give Howard credit for playing hard every game, the Magic are essentially reliving the circus the Denver Nuggets experienced last year with Carmelo Anthony. Had the Magic remained the dominant force they have been in the East for the past 5 years, it would have been conceivable that the Magic would have retained Howard's talents for the duration of the season. However the recent 4 game skid has Dwight Howard naming new acceptable trade destinations by the day with the Boston Celtics joining the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, and New Jersey Nets on the list of places he would like to take his talents to. While Andrew Bynum is the clearly the best consolation prize available, it remains to be seen whether a third team would be necessary to help facilitate a potential Howard trade to Los Angeles.

Kyle Lowry
You mean Aaron Brooks ? Kyle Lowry is neither in China, nor a FA
The best and the most realistical case, in my opinion, is to trade for Sessions and try to sign K Mart.
I bleed Purple & Gold
yes, he means aaron brooks.
and he is a restricted free agent. so, whatever offer is given to him, the suns can match.

I dont think we have a shot at Martin.
He has not reason not to go to the Heat as its his best shot at a ring immediately.
"A better ending could not have been scripted. Of course, if we had won, that would have been better." -Bobby Bowden
With the emergence of Andrew Goudelock as a pure shooter/scorer off the bench, i think we are okay in the back court. The issue will need to be addressed in the offseason as Derek Fisher should be retiring, but I think we can get by this year with the combination of Fish/Blake/Glock/Kobe.
I know there is still quite some time till Blake returns, but i think Kapono can play spot minutes here and there to rest our starting vets until he does return. But when he does, Blake and Glock can come off the bench and play together. Glock at the 1, and Blake at the 2. Not idealistic, but both can handle the ball and both have been shooting well from behind the line this year. So, for me, Sessions, Brooks, Williams, Smith & Arenas aren’t a need at this time.
I think our major concern this year is the play of the SF spot and a backup for Drew. So, I think the Lakers should first be looking to Wilson Chandler. A young SF, who hustles, plays hard and can knock down the 3. Denver is playing quite well without him, and realistically does not have a lot of room for him on the roster.
Gallo is having a break out year and is playing 33 minutes a night. So, that leaves 15 for Chandler, who deserves a much bigger chunk of minutes than that. The SG postition is locked down with Afflalo & Fernandez. And considering Denver just threw a whole bunch of money out to Nene, Afflalo & Gallo, i doubt they are willing to throw much more out to a guy who would be a 15 pg backup.
The other guy that I think could help is R Wallace. Wallace would fit the bill nicely as a backup center, as he can hit the 3 occasionally and is a good low post offensive player. the bench really needs a post presence, as nobody on the bench is a post player besides Caracter. He plays solid defense and will be able to get Drew much more rest throughout the season. I dont know what he has left in the tank or what his conditioning is like, but if he plays like he did in his last season with Boston, he could really help as a backup C.
K Mart i believe will be a little redundant at this point. Pau, McRoberts, Murphy & Caracter are all true PF’s. Caracters return will give the bench a much needed low post presence. I think adding Martin would just cause McRoberts, Murphy & Caracter to lose minutes.
The #1 guy I am hoping the Lakers can snag, who isnt on your list, is Anderson Varejao. He fits into the Odom TPE and would be an awesome defensive presence with the bench. He would give Pau & Drew much more rest through the remainder of the season. This will require the Cavs to start losing many more games and then Dan Gilbert will need to want to cut salary in exchange for a pick. Varejao or Andray Blatche from Washington would be a nice addition to our thin front court. Blatche also fits into the Odom TPE, and has shown that he is unhappy in Washington.

I'm really with your idea on bringing in Blake and Glock of the bench.
but deep down I wish Blake started and Glock was his back up and Fisher wore a suit and coached instead.

By "get by this year" you cant mean win a title
with Fisher, Blake, and Lock as Kobe’s supporting cast? That is a terrible back court. Zero defense and very little if any consistent offense. Just terrible.

Andrew Goudelock
I like Andrew Goudelock. He has a shoot first mentality which we need since almost all of our players except for Kobe is passive in regards to shooting the ball.
I really like the addition of Mo Williams, but the way he is playing right now, I do not know what the Lakers can offer the Clippers to give him up.
We could offer Glock.

really over glock
Mo is way better, he is a 6th man of the year candidate, but don’t worry that trade has 0% chance of happening no way us give Mo for nothing.
Mo's definitley better,
but he has a point. The Lakers don’t need another ball-stopper, they need a distributor-of which Mo is not. And the Lakers are drastically over the cap, another 8 million doesn’t hurt our chances of improving our rosters in other ways.
I’d personally still make the trade(That would probably never happen. Never can say with the genius of Sterling though.), but I can understand LFE’s point.
Beggers can't be choosers.
When your point guard position is easily your weakest, you shouldn’t be turning down ANY All Star guards. That is just what I believe, but I also agree that the Lakers need a stronger passing PG.
I mean, I'm with you.
It’s just that there’s some serious downsides, and it could potentially hurt the future(with the contract) for a move that prolly wouldn’t put us over the top.
The contract isn't too long.
And let’s be honest, the Lakers cap room won’t be generous for a couple of years.
lol

The Lakers still need reliable shooting. I am hesitant to get excited about Glocks outside
shooting. How many times did we get excited about players like Shannon Brown and Blake because they had good shooting games only to die down as the season went on. I want someone who has proven themselves for at least a season that they are threat. Not someone who shows up some days only. I guess I would like Mo Williams. I would say JR smith but he is so unpredictable.

I have faith in Glock
you dont shoot 55% from 3 through 4 games, without having a great touch. He will probably fall off a bit, but has been a proven shooter (unlike brown and blake) through his college years. I’ll take 40% from 3 from him all year long. And i think that is what we are going to get.

I really hope you are right.
I have been wanting a solid 3pt shooting threat. After Sasha, I lost hope in the Lakers ever getting that guy. MJ never had a dominant Center but he had some of the best 3 point shooters in NBA history. Kerr, Hodges, Paxon, etc. I have always wanted that shooter. Fisher was that guy when the Lakers won back to back with Shaq and Kobe. But the Lakers haven’t got that shooter during the Kobe era.

btw....I would never in a million years would get Rasheed. Something that no one
mentions about him is that he is such a momentum killer. Besides his career in Detroit, he takes away more than he adds to a team. In the playoffs I remember the Celtics playing many games in which they were making comebacks or playing well and he lost his mind and got pissed off and got a T and killed the C’s momentum. I mean, how are you a bench player and still lead the league in technicals? NO THANX!!!!

his t's are a downfall,
but i think he is our best option as a backup c. he will only be needed for 15 minutes a night, instead of the 25 he was playing with boston. and he wasnt on a team with kobe & fish. they wont take his shit. the bench really needs a post presence when pau and drew need a break. and rasheed has a good post game. if he can agree to not shoot 3’s, i think he could help.
i think its got to be rasheed or someone E-ROC knows from the d-league.

I'd sign Aaron Brooks or Hibachi
and save the TPE for a shot at Howard. The Clippers aren’t going to move Mo, especially to a playoff team in their conference. But honestly though, I’d be fine with Glock. I want him to continue getting minutes.
As for Wilson Chandler, he’s an RFA I think, so we don’t really have a chance.
at this point,
i think its either k martin or r wallace.
we will be okay (this year) in the back court once blake returns. fisher should retire next year, and we will likely have to shop for a serious backup 2 guard. cuz kapono aint cutting it.

exactly.
do you think kapono gets cut if we sign either of them? not sure who the FO is looking at cutting? Kapono is insurance at this point, just in case somebody else in the back court gets hurt.

i think glock could easily take that title from him.
and we still have to bring blake back from injury, so we will have to send somebody else besides d-mo or caracter back to the d-league or cut somebody.
i think caracter could help the bench unit out with a low post presence. they desperately need one. i could see d-mo and ebanks in the d-league when blake returns. unless the fo wants to be dicks and sends walton to the d-league, lol.

What about the other guy in trade rumors other than dwight you didn't mention.
Deron. Williams.
Lakers and Patriots forever.
he aint going anywhere unless dwight does.
he is staying put and hoping that dwight comes to NJ

We need guys who can create offense for themselves...
out of that group, Arenas and J.R. Smith are best at that. On the other hand, we really need a fast PG, so Sessions and Brooks would make more sense in that regard. Mo Williams kinda falls in the middle there, I guess.

i think Mini-Mamba can fill that roll for the bench.
if we bring in another pg or sg, it just takes time away from glock, which isnt good for his experience or confidence.

G-lock is only a second round pick, it’s not like the Lakers invested a high draft pick for him. While he certainly was steal, he isn’t a Kyrie Irving or John Wall that team is going to invest a lot trying to get him grow into the next “mamba”
im not saying hes the next mamba.
i said he can be the primary ball handler/creator/scorer for the bench.

f*ck jr smith...
there was a story i read that the chinese team had had enough of jr. smith and his antics. he was calling in sick, saying he couldnt go to numerous practices, and was found in beijing later on that day shopping with his wife/and gangsta sister. and that he was mailing it in some gms. i dont want a dude like that on the lakers hell no! dudes a straight up thug!

I gotta agree with this..
Smith brings too much baggage. Arenas’s problems are bit different, though.. I think he would actually put in the effort to perform, since he wouldn’t be coming here for the money.

Sorry, but
Gone are the days when D.J. Mbenga and Theo Ratliff could fill in for the occasional game missed by 1st time All-Star Andrew Bynum.
I don’t even remember seeing Theo Ratliff put on a Laker uniform

Ohh I think I remember now
I think he just came into the game to shoot a free throw and then sat back down.. I only remember him playing like 2 minutes

I remember that.
Phil didn’t even sub him in. Dallas was shooting 2 flagrant FT’s, but the guy who got hit couldn’t shoot them, so Carlisle picked Ratliff to shoot them. Missed them both, I think..

No wait, I got that completely messed up....
Lakers were shooting the FT’s… but whoever got fouled couldn’t shoot them.. so Carlisle picks Ratliff,.. I’m completely lost now. All I remember is that Ratliff was specifically picked by the other team because he was the worst FT shooter on the team.

I would take Arenas with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove...

Can't hurt if we can pick him up for a min.
Or maybe we can get AMMO again! Phil won’t play him but maybe Brown will…
He got Kobe's German knee surgery.
Which means he’s an immortal vampire now. Got to have him.
