The Goods Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 The Lakers contacted the Rockets about dealing for Jordan Farmar or purchasing their first-round pick. Houston turned Los Angeles down, according to a pair of NBA sources. The Lakers would be expected to get anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million for the 29th overall pick. "Absolutely," general manager Mitch Kupchak said when asked if the club would considering dealing the selection. "Sure." http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60063/20090625/source_rockets_turn_down_offer_from_lakers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand New Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 The Lakers don't want to give Farmar an extension. I have a feeling that Morrison and Farmar are going to be dealt somewhere in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hawk Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Lol, I wouldnt even trade ODOM for TMAC now there was that rumor once that the said trade could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 they'll probably deal farmar at the deadline. Later on in the season injuries will happen and some team will want another PG. Why not take a risk on a 22 year old? Some team will be suckered into his "potential," and Lakers will give him away for peanuts as well. Bye bye Jordan. Shannon Brown has taken his spot.

Owner Real Deal Posted June 29, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 You may even see Brown playing the two, and us signing Kidd for chump change, if we're dealing Farmar. It's just weird to see Jordan's name in trade rumors before seeing Vujacic's, and that' makes me believe that we're looking at Kidd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Jordan and Sasha both suck. The reason why you see Jordan's name is because his contract is at least reasonable. Sasha is untradable until next year, when he's an expiring. It would be a waste of Mitch's time to shop him around at this point, unless we trade him for another horrible player with a horrible contract.

Klashnekoff Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yeah like Brandon said i think it's a strong possibility that Kidd is coming to L.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 29, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Assuming talks are going on with Kidd, the only reason I see him being anywhere else is if he's asking for too much money, but knowing Kidd and his desire to win and play alongside Bryant and in a pass-privileged offense (if that makes sense), I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a lot less.

The Artesticle Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Ya think Kidd will sign for vet's min? Hope you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 29, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Ya think Kidd will sign for vet's min? Hope you're right.Nope. But I think if we got rid of Farmar for more cash, or for a pick, we'd pull a little from our MLE to bring him in for a two or three year deal.

The Artesticle Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hm... could a sign and trade work? I dunno who knows. Hope we get Kidd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yeah the other day I also thought Kidd will sign with Lakers... I think it's a great possibility. Maybe the only possibility that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 29, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hm... could a sign and trade work? I dunno who knows. Hope we get Kidd.Well, Farmar will make around $2 million next season, and he has a qualifying offer of $2.8 million or so for the following season. So if Kidd were to want half the MLE, we would probably pull the trigger, granted it would be around $3 million. We would have to add someone like Yue. I'd have to go check the correct numbers.

The Artesticle Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 No we could offer up Morrison, who is a 5 million expiring I believe. Total of 7 million? That seems like enough dollars for Kidd. But I think this only works out if Kidd demands to be a Laker, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If another team was interested in Farmar, they can pull a sign and trade off with Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldChili Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Will anyone even take Sasha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 29, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Will anyone even take Sasha?Not this off-season. He's still owed around $10.5 million, two years left on the contract. After next season, he'll be an expiring $5.5 million for teams looking at cap space in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Will anyone even take Sasha? Yes, for a 2nd rounder with teams having extra cap space. Edited June 29, 2009 by Warren2ThaG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
