My bad!!! I forgot he was a RESTRICTED free agent and not an UNRESTRICTERD one.

Damn, being a Laker fan you really get greedy. man1

i would do caron and slava for kwame and jarid jefferies.
jefferies was their starting PF last year, hes a lanky athletic guy that would be good for us off the bench

we could get a lineup of this:

pg- AD, chucky,sasha
sg- kobe, wafer
sf- odom, jumaine, george
pf- kwame, jefferies, turiaf
c- mihm, bynum

Fellas, Lakers need to get bigger. No one is gonna give up Tim Duncan or KG, Kwame is a 7 footer with potential. I'd much rather see them take a chance on a big man than to have 336 swingmen on the roster.

Inside out, people...that's how you win titles.

i'm warming to this idea as i think about it. washington would have to add another player of some value, though, i'd like jarvis hayes, dixon, or even steve blake. i think they might be willing to give up at least one of those in addition to kwame for butler and vlade's contract.

If Caron is too valuable then how much is he worth? From what I hear and see, Caron and Kobe have a strong relationship on and off the court. I bet, they've spend alot of time in the gym talking about the art of basketball and such, and Kobe is a player that you wouldn't mind learning that stuff from... and to me that is worth alot.

Butler for Brown would be horrible for us. I'd rather keep Odom at the 4 and Caron at the 3

It seems to me that no matter what happens at the end of the day Caron Butler is in the final year of his CHEAP contract. It is simple CB is a small forward and we all know how many of those we have. Odom is staying so do you really think the Lakers are going to shell out the required money (look at Bobby Simmons 10 mil per) to keep another SF on? He is going, be it now or later he is gone...so why not get a talented big with promise that would cost us considerably less than what CB will demand next year. Just my thoughts.

i'm surprised no one has talked about if caron was traded, what lamar would do. not too long ago lamar got really "upset" about multiple trade rumors involving caron. dont get me wrong, i dont think the lakers shouldnt trade him b/c of that..but the last thing you need going into the season is a key player "upset". ask the t'wolves...

I dont think its true because the Lakers need a power forward right now immediately and a point guard. Mitch isnt taht stupid where he knows that he could Jamaal Magloire why go get Kwame.

Calm down we aint busting we just wondering just like Im wondering how seven got chris weber in LA. Its your opinion you cant be wrong with your opinion. However, I cant see washington trading Arenas when tehy just lost Hughes.

Kwame Brown for Caron Butler? Hell no! What has Kwame Brown done in this league. Yes, he's a big body, but he doesn't play defense and barely scores. He looks lost when he plays. Caron Butler has shown great stuff two years in a row. Kwame hasn't shown squat.

Even if Jerry West likes Kwame Brown.....do you think he would give up Caron Butler for him? I dont think so.

A player with loads of potential for a player that is already a proven bust?

No thanks.

silversyphon41 calm down man. Look KG to LA is way more out there then Arenas but truth is thats who he wants maybe in a few years hell sign with the Lakers but who knows. Fact is no one here knows Caron 1 and emplay are great but they are not the GM. THe only person who knows is Kupchak and Buss. So dont say its not possible anything is possible or as Addidas says Impossible is Nothing. Dont bash him man calm down the heat does wierd things to people
