Another what? Another horrible player?
Trust me, Morrison will be OK off the bench in the triangle launching threes.
Idiot Larry Brown will curse the day he ever had to coach Vlad Rad.

Morrison is HORRIBLE. Vlad isn't much better, but if Vlad is on, you know he can be depended on. Morrison is a marginal NBA player at best.

Vlad was getting limited minutes. Morrison will get limited minutes. The value of this trade is that Browns contract expires after this year and Morrisons after next. Vlads goes an extra year past that. With the vaunted 2010 FA market, Morrisons contract will be more valuable. It also clears up a little money to extend Ariza and Odom in the offseason in that it would allow Dr. Buss to only take a luxury tax hit of one year.
Just getting rid of spaceballs, regardless of the returns is a great move for the Lakers.

Meh....Morrison sucks
This thread is insane. Adam Morrison is AWFUL. He should not be in the NBA. He's less athletic than me. Vlad Rad can shoot and at least stay in front of his man, Morrison is horrific on defense and can't do anything but spot up shoot.

I think whoever is trading FOR Morrison is pretty silly.

How many games in until we see Adam cry on the court?

That presumes he makes it as far as the court. I don't see why he would.
You can have a Sasha, Pau, Walton, Morrison, Mihm lineup for the hippy looking white guy roster (with Mihm the hippie turned yuppie role).
I like the trade. Vlad was useless, and never played anymore...ever. Morrison will play better in the triangle than he did with pressure on him, and all he'll be asked to do is hit spot up jumpers, which is pretty much his specialty. And if he fails, we get money off the books sooner than we would have with Vrad.
And Brown gives an athletic guy off the bench to help defend, probably against larger PGs in the bench roles. Not many minutes, but he might get some matchup time when the second unit runs. He's a throwin anyway.

That is a strange nickname.

What's the Over/Under on the days before the Mavs and Suns make similar type of desperation moves to stay in the West's elite?

From what is being said/written they look to be all about salary dumps this year.What's the Over/Under on the days before the Mavs and Suns make similar type of desperation moves to stay in the West's elite?

The only good thing about this trade for the Lakers is the money. Morrison is definitely a step back talent-wise.
