Is that the final trade of something?
I dunno. He's not an official source or anything. He's just a Laker fan and lives down there.
Here was his entire note.
-------------------
just heard it's a done deal. an LA laker insider reported that "a laker" has just notified them that he was told to pack up because he's been traded. pretty vague, but still. he calls it as:
Lakers get: Peja and Bobby Jackson.
Kings get: Lamar Odom and Tierre Brown.
Lakers get: Carlos Boozer and a pick.
Utah get: Caron Butler, Devean George, and Vlade Divac*.
Vlade is supposed to have his contract bought out for 2 mil, and then he's supposed to resign with LA for the vet minimum.
(tierre brown by the way, if you haven't heard of him, is a fantastic player. the dude can get to the hole anytime he wants. you can't stop his penetration, and he's also a great ball handler and 3 point shooter. he's a definite future star.)
i hate to see our guys go, but i think it's better for their careers. i don't think lamar, caron, and tierre would get to showcase their stuff playing with kobe. now they'll show their shyte. lamar's gonna make the already unselfish kings be insane, and teirre's gonna take over for bibby, give him a year.
don't like the trades at all. it's like EGO collision part 2. you take a team with good chemistry (horry, fox, fisher) and replace them with egos (malone and payton), make soup, and have ME barf at the results. whatever. hopefully we make the finals again and self destruct against a team that deserves it. like the cavs or some ****. i need a new sport.
