magicbalala245 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 The Los Angeles Lakers might end up getting the man they were hoping for in the first place. The Lakers had been trying to trade Sasha Vujacic with a first round pick in order to get his salary off the books. They had attempted to make the trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers for Delonte West. That did not work out and on Tuesday the Cavaliers traded West to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, the Timberwolves will “almost certainly” buy West out of the remaining $4.6 million on his contract for $500,000, making him a free agent. If the Lakers can move Vujacic, sources say that they are going to add Delonte West to the roster. This move would certainly give the Lakers a way to match up with the Miami Heat and stop LeBron in the case that the two teams do actually end up meeting in the Finals next season.

kingfish Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Please please please get Delonte. I always thought he was a good player. Great shooter, great athleticism, decent defender, and he is very good at creating his own shot and shooting off the dribble. He would be a terrific addition to the bench.

Brand New Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 This would be a great signing. This would make the Laker bench even better. Hopefully it get's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted July 31, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I think so knowing we have 2 super-soldiers of our own.That's actually a good point...but we also have a war vet (Phil) and a guy specialized in defeating super-soldiers (Artest). Feels good. Gonna be even more wicked if Drew plays a full healthy season, because he's a 20/10 player any given night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) How credible is this source? I haven't heard reports about us signing Delonte anywhere else. It's also contingent on us moving Sasha, which I wouldn't hold my breath on. I wouldn't get my hopes up. I question where Delonte is at mentally and if he is even suited to play a whole year of NBA basketball.

Cleveland's Finest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 You've got to be kidding me. Stunning where all these Cavs are ending up. The after shock of this decision crap is just mind blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 The Lakers are stacked if they sign West. Not a big fan of the signing though, if he can't snap out of his emotional funk then he will be more trouble than useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted July 31, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Not really a legit source as far as the author is concerned, but maybe he has one. After all, the Lakers did offer for West. They were interested. You'd think they would go right after him once he's waived (or if he's waived).

Klashnekoff Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 All i know is i expect Kobe to have 6 rings and finally claim the crown of GOAT when the new season ends.. I would dare call a Lakers sweep on Miami with a team like that .. two of the top 3 perimeter defenders in the league in Matt Barnes and Artest. Not to Pau and Bynum in the paint .. how are teams going to score if the Lakers decided to run Kobe - Barnes - Artest - Pau - Bynum. Seriously how do you score on that?

Abro Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 dont really see it happening.. it would be a great signing dont get me wrong.. but first they need to find someone who would be willing to take on sasha's contract and im not really sure who'd be dumb enough to do that. but if it happens the lakers would be an even better team if Delonte could get his life together.
