Hawks want a young center in any trade.. Would have to be Minny. Milwaukee won't trade it's young bigs unless they got Josh Smith

I'm actually fine with this trade deadline.. You guys are making me more angry than last year's deadline did...
Lakers are looking at Jermaine O'Neal and Raja Bell...

you guys really don't see Earl Clarks potential? Or you're just so impatient you just can't wait until he blossoms? I totally get wanting to win and him having value, so I'm just curious what you guys' mindset is, since I'm seeing him in just about every trade scenario.

I personally want Earl Clark resigned.
Yes, EARL CLARK CP.
I dont care about Tim Thomas, Bonzi Wells, Rudy Gay, Joe Johnson, or anyone else that got overpaid.
We freakin need some athleticism on this team for years to come. Who is going to give that to us? Darius Morris? :x
Our draft picks? Oh wait...we have none the next few years.
We just gonna stay old so we can pretend to have a chance at LeBron in 2014? No thanks IMO there is a .0000000001 chance he comes to LA...and that's being generous.
EXTEND CLARK...NOW.

Let Earl walk. No need to waste cap space on him after next season.
1 year deal? Sure, sign him. Wants more than 1 year, he's out.
Period.
You do NOT give away cap space for dime a dozen players. You do NOT.
It's like signing Shannon Brown long term rather than persuing 10 different scenarios that land you an elite second or third option. Outside of the option for an elite #1 guy.
Earl Clark is no way close to worth that. Cap space >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Earl Clark.

And with that Clark isn't getting a Joe Johnson or Bonzi Wells contract..
At best he gets 3 year - $21mil..
Teams already in that CBA mindset.. That's why there has been 3 trades all season.. All 3 were for 1 team to save money.

Cap Space and not making the playoffs the last few years left in Kobe's career

This upcoming year.... Someone for $3.5mil.... But even if we keep Clark, we have that $3.5mil
The year after.... It's the difference between... $30mil in cap space (Dwight & Nash) , and $23mil in cap space.. That's if Earl Clark gets the highest possible deal he would get on the market.

Read a whole article about our role player signings a while back...
Premise was... No one in their right mind would give an average backup a 4 year deal.... Especially one who has never had a league average player efficiency.. It was what the market was at, but it was an awful signing.

I was just looking at the Lakers 2000 Finals stats... Shaq shot 38.7% from FT...

Also just saw this about 2 weeks ago Mike Bresnahan wrote this
"This is my first team that gave me an opportunity. I love the guys here," Clark said. "The organization and the style of play fits me. I really want to stay here."

My aplogies if late and I dont really believe it, but if true....[h1]Report: Dwight Howard mocked Kobe Bryant in All-Star locker room[/h1]

Let’s start out right here — take this report with a grain of salt. Actually, a handful of kosher salt. I say that because there was no buzz about this in Houston. I say take the salt because every NBA reporter in America who breaks these kind of stories was in Houston and it leaked out through a celebrity page a couple days later. And I say grab salt because it seems over the top.
But the New York Post (another reason to take with salt) is reporting that Dwight Howard mocked Kobe Bryant behind his back in the All-Star Game locker room.
Expect the denials from Howard in 5…4…3…
And I’ll actually believe Howard on this one. This report seems over the top, even for him. I feel I have to pass this report along, but I’ll say again I don’t believe it and won’t until we get better confirmation. Not that it’s impossible, I just don’t see it.
I will say that Dwight Howard seemed back to his joking, having fun self more over the weekend as attention was lavished on him and he was in a game without the weight of expectations and desperation that comes with the Lakers games now. He was taking half-court hook shots in All-Star warm-ups and shot a three pointer in the game. He liked the lighter mood of the weekend.
So where does the rumor come from? If you were a team interested in trading for Dwight Howard or getting him as a free agent this summer, then leaking this kind of rumor to hopefully drive more of a wedge in the Lakers locker room this is how I would do it. But we’ll see.

Guys this is what I'm talking about with the media blowing things up... The author says he believes the story is 100% fake.. Yet writes about it anyway... That's just irresponsible journalism..
