Jodie Meeks Discussion: Defensive Liability

AlexKennedyNBA: The Los Angeles Lakers continue to express interest in Jodie Meeks, according to source. No deal is imminent, but the two sides are talking.

I really hate the word imminent.

How is Jodie Meeks? He a better fit then Shannon Brown or Sasha Machine?

^ well we don't have Brown or Sasha, what matters is whether he fits better than Ebanks/DJO. Collins started him 50 games last year, I'd like to know what his averages were as a starter.

i watched him a bit. He's not a great defender and doesn't get to the rim much. But he can shoot. Not a great athlete either. Nice role player though. If he understands that he's a role player, he will be a great fit. If he's one of those shannon brown types who think they should start...well, then he won't be a good fit

don't know much about him, but looking at his numbers it appears he doesn't do anything really well, except having a decent, but not great 3pt %. that being said...at least it's not kapono.

Dude can light it up from beyond the arc....the looks he would get with Nash, Kobe, Gasol, Bynum would be different from what he got in Philly alongside a bunch of perimeter players and...Elton Brand.

Well at least we're headed in the right direction YOUNG BLOOD!

ray allen lite. would be a good addition to the team for the minimum

been saying this for a while, this guy is a perfect fit, i like his fire, energy, most of all, young and can shoot that 3.

Would love this guy off the bench. He definitely can shoot the ball and is fairly athletic.

I'm down with bringing some youth on this team.

Yes please!

No Elevation on his jumpshot???? Were you watching the same video I was If thats no elevation on a jump shot than no one in the league gets elevation on a jump shot

he wears kobes. its his destiny to be here.

Just a little taste of what he can do, which is shoot from the perimeter!

passs... would rather get rush or pietrus

get him. bench needs young guys. this guy is good and improving. only in the league 3 years.

i say if he wants to play with nash and be a part of something great than get him asap.

im tired of "interest" not amounting to anything. if we want someone than push hard for them. he's improved his 3 point shot and can shoot. young talent is always a good thing to bring in.

He's straight but no elevation on his jump shot lol man to many scouts not enough fans smh. Why I say get him, he's better than blake sorry butt. We could use an exciting athlete on this team yell™

No elevation?

Exactly, what is no elevation? He is jumping right?

Looks like he finishes pretty good around the basket too.

His low FG%...for a non-volume shooter is actually concerning. The few games I have watched him play...he seemed to knock down shots though. But that's a pretty tiny sample.
