Truthfully, I think the Lakers like his talent a lot, genuinely. He is talented and can play both spots. However, I think the Lakers realize that he is prime trade bait, considering that they have Fisher and Farmar, who is looking solid. Critt has as much or more talent than Farmar if you ask...

You may be right, it could halt a deal. But I think the two are close enough in talent to where one of the teams will budge. I think you guys would take Crittenton, but we'll have to see.

Sorry. Snark is out. Just annoyed about Kobe and Bynum for Artest, Miller, Thomas, Garcia. But I guess not winning puts all of us in a grouchy mood.

By the way, Crittenton can be traded now. It does not have to be Dec.15th. And I agree about talking him up, unless they intend to play Crittenton, Farmar, and Kobe at the same time, which is possible. The Lakers will deal Javaris in the right deal because of Farmar.

That is the whole point of message boards. If you are against the deal, fine. I totally respect that. But I came here to discuss it from a hoops standpoint, not to ruffle feathers.

Comparing Kobe to Artest is off base. Sorry, but it is. Second, I never said he would leave Sac. But Sac has cap problems anyways. Is tying up Ron long term what you want? I am not sure. By the way, Kobe still may be traded, but the Kings obviously don't make sense because they are young and...

I can't give you Farmar. If you would like to leave Miller out, fine. But Farmar is emerging now, and Critt is younger but with lots of talent. Maybe the Lakers will give a first round pick this year instead of next to sweeten it, but I am 85% sure the Lakers will not deal Farmar.

Nope. Are you saying that my deal is insulting to the Kings or Lakers?

I guess it surprises me how many Laker fans are against the deal. Lamar does not fit well with the current Laker team with Fisher, Farmar, Bynum. Less passes, dribbling, and rebounding. Critt does have nice talent, but with Farmar and Fisher playing time is scarce. Kwame and Miller are different...

Well, it not like the early 2000s for either of us anymore. So, with that in mind, I think there is a deal that may help the Kings and Lakers. Here goes: Odom, Crittenton, Kwame, 2009 #1 for Artest, Miller, Thomas The trade gets you under the cap much sooner. Odom may or may not stick...
