You guys are overestimating Bulter.
Before Odom was injured, Butler was garbage. The Boozer trade falling out and Odom getting injured turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Butler RAISED HIS STOCK. We need to trade him while we can because if we start the season with Odom and Butler again, Butler will look like garbage AGAIN, and we'll get peanuts for him.
Butler will be a good player, but he won't do much to propel any team to a contender. On an average team, I can see him putting up 18, 6, and 3 (assuming he's one of the first 2 options). He's not a great passer and doesn't really create for others. He's a finisher and has the athleticism to be a decent defender. I think Gerald Gree and Danny Granger will be better than Butler. |

I agree. A lot of players can put up big numbers when they are among the first options on a bad or mediocre team. Butler picked it up when Odom was out because somebody had to pick up the scoring. |

Good point. Fans tend to fall in love with a player too quickly. Hope, I'm wrong though and Caron becomes a star. |

caron will never be a star with the lakers, i think it would be good for us to trade him for the 5th and 13th, everybody would benefit. the bobcats would get a good player (cuz caron would be good in charlotte) and the 10th pic which is good, and we would get better pics the 5th and 13th are oki think.

I do like the idea of shipping Mr. Butler out of here for #5 and # 13, but lets look at this realistically. #5 pick is not that great!!! Bogut, M. Williams, C. Paul and G. Green will all be gone by then!!! Yes, D. Williams will be available, but he isn't worth trading Butler for. I am sold one any of the above 4, but not D. Williams, even though he would do well in the Triangle(So would all above...except Chris Paul). My point is, while it looks good to move up to #5, its not as great as we envision.
However, the trade with N.O. would be great IF, Mitch found a way to ship Caron for the #4 pick straight up! I might be williing to also throw the 2 number 2's away for that , but NOT THE #10!!!
Lakers would then have 3 draft picks(2 in the lottery)
#4- Gerald Green(1st) Chris Paul(2nd)
#10-Fran Vasquez in a perfect world(1st!!) Tiago Splitter(if he stays in #2 choice). Chris Taft (#3)
#17- Andrew Bynum (he says he only wants lottery, but when he sees how loaded this team is, plus its the Lakers, and Phil jackson who would be coaching him, as well as the opportunity to be, "the next great bigman for the L.A. lakers". I say he stays in)
Lineup like this
Triangle offense, remember no Point Guard
Coach: Phil Jackson
G-Gerald Green
G-Kobe Bryant
F-Lamar Odom
F-Fran Vasquez or Tiago Splitter
C- Chris Mihm
Off the bench
Johnathan Bender-F
Chucky Atkins-G
Jermaine Jones-F
Andrew Bynum-C
Sasha Vujacic-G
Luke Walton-F
Devean George-F(I'd love it if we could get rid of Cook and Medvedenko for Bender and #17 and Keep George)
That's one damn impressive lineup  |

Once again, there is no POINT GUARD in the Traingle.....anyone can bring it up. I just said that.
The possibility of adding Gerald Green, Fran Vasquez and Andrew Bynum all has to make one go |

The only problem I'd have with that starting lineup is that we have gotten ripped by smaller, quicker guards for years now. Starting Green (who is said to be a natural SF) would mean that most likely Kobe would end up guarding the smaller guys. He does a great job, but it takes a lot of energy and that's energy that he won't have on the offensive end. |

Let's use those picks 4 a good pg not a sf who's bringing up the ball and stuff like that.
Phil Jackson preffered bigger PG's like harper but he didn't prefer a SF for the triangle.
You ever saw Glen Rice or Rick Fox bring up the ball few times a game?
NO.

That's because they didn't exactly have great handles. I will promise you that Phil will have Odom bring the ball up the court from time to time. Ever watch Scottie on the Bulls? Phil would use him to bring the ball up the court.

You guys are overestimating Bulter.
Before Odom was injured, Butler was garbage. The Boozer trade falling out and Odom getting injured turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Butler RAISED HIS STOCK. We need to trade him while we can because if we start the season with Odom and Butler again, Butler will look like garbage AGAIN, and we'll get peanuts for him.
Butler will be a good player, but he won't do much to propel any team to a contender. On an average team, I can see him putting up 18, 6, and 3 (assuming he's one of the first 2 options). He's not a great passer and doesn't really create for others. He's a finisher and has the athleticism to be a decent defender. I think Gerald Gree and Danny Granger will be better than Butler. |

It's true that those two weren't asked to bring the ball up, but that wasn't one of their strengths. By the time Phil came to coach both of them, they had already established what they were capable of.
I do remember Phil asking Devean George, in an annual exit-interview, to work on his ball-handling for the next season. Phil wanted to utilize George as an initiator of the offense. Phil tried it with Devean and it didn't work, so he does like to utilize bigger players to bring the ball up.

In Cleveland, I believe Harper was utilized as a SG more than a PG. Phil saw potential in Harper because of his athletic skills and intelligence so he wanted him to initiate the offense. |

I agree. A lot of players can put up big numbers when they are among the first options on a bad or mediocre team. Butler picked it up when Odom was out because somebody had to pick up the scoring. |
The only flaw with this thinking is that Lamar would be the THIRD option. His primary role under a Phil Jackson led team, would be to help other guys get there's, which suits Lamar just fine. That means Kobe is option #1 and Caron would be option #2 - and last season for the final 6 weeks, we saw what Caron does as a second option - 25/6/4/3. Those numbers are more than anyone can ask of a 2nd option, AND he did it shooting over 50% AND without plays being run specifically for him, while also getting steals and playing superb defense.
I'd still trade him if need be, but let's not start trying to say he isn't capable of this or that, because we flat out saw that he IS capable of all we could want or need. Hence why he's so valuable in trade. You think a team would trade TWO (2) lottery picks for a guy who isn't capable of that?
No need to diss Caron in order to justify trading him. NOT contending and NOT being in the playoffs, is reason enough without having to minimize a young player whose clearly coming into his own. We ALL hate to lose him, but we hate losing even more.

NO FRIGGIN WAY! Caron is worth that 5th pick and the 10th pick is already likely to be WAY better than undersized Melvin. That 10th pick could be Fran Vasquez, Jarret Jack, Raymond Felton - any number of guys who are starter worthy (something Ely still isn't). |

I think using caron for a trade involving an already established NBA player would be better suited...
But then again, the more picks the higher percentage of success in picking the right one i suppose

I am sold on this trade IF..... Charlotte will give up # 5 and #13 for Caron Butler alone. IF they agreed to this, I would pull the trigger. Butler and the 10th is way too much to give up.
We would then have three picks in the lottery
#5- Gerald Green or Chris Paul or Deron Williams(in that order)
#10-Fran Vasquez
#13- Andrew Bynum

no way we get that for caron alone. but we have 23 million in expiring contacts. if we do this and draft young players to build, can't we move some more of those expiring contracts for worthy, capable vets, if not a solid starter in there? pj brown, dale davis, and plenty more i'm not naming. we may be able to afford giving up caron and #10 for 5 & 13 if we truly believe in the players we'd hope to get there. I'm not sure i do, but if you do, then pull the trigger. there's other moves to be made. and don't sleep. slava can function well off the bench in phil's triangle, a nice scoring punch off the bench. him or cook, but the other or both are dispensible and servicable. options....

I just think the 5th isn't that great...here's why
1) Andrew Bogut
2) marvin Williams
3) Gerald Green
4) Chris Paul
See what I mean, your essentially trading a very good small forward for Williams, who doesn't really impress me. However if Green or Paul are avilable at #5 I pull this deal with no hesitation. |

If the Lakers can pull it off WITHOUT giving up #10, then I'm all for it. Maybe expiring contracts, both second round picks, if they did that, they would have 3 Lottery Picks this year!!!!!
That would be worth it. Giving up Caron and #10....NO WAY!!!!!
Caron, expiring contracts and both seconds.....YES!!!!! |

I doubt Charlotte would really want any expiring contracts...it's not like they're over the cap. The only reason that they might need them is that they need to meet the minimum salary for a 2nd year expansion franchise. Not to mention they only have like 4 players under contract for next year, so they will have make some signings that could get them to that minimum.
As far as the 2nd round picks...if we were to do this deal and end up with #'s 5, 13, 17(possibly???) and then the two 2nd rounders...there's no way that those players are all going to make the roster unless we clear out a few more players. |
