Stein: Blake/Duhon on the block, Fish could return

I'm guessing that the word "owner" or "shipowner" refers to the PG.

Yea that's what I took from it as well. I'm hoping this is true, Leandro Barbosa for the minimum? That should be a no brainer. Let's hope Mitch can take out the garbage so this can go down.

^That's probably why everybody at El Segundo is hyping Morris lately. The chance of finding takers for Blake or Duhon is unlikely.

Barbosa?

Yes please. Sign him and we're ready.

Do it, Mitch.

The article is from September 11th... I doubt it's still relevant.

FWIW:

I took a little portuguese in HS.. The title of the article Revgen posted says exactly:
"Leandrinho (Barbosa) says he's willing to take the NBA's minimum salary to play for the Lakers".
It says that he's also considering the Nets and the Suns. If neither option pans out, he could return to Brasil and play there.

Translation (loosely paraphrased, some things are tough to translate exactly) of Barbosa's quote:

"The negociation is still hot. Nash sent me a message yesterday (that would be September 10th) telling me to go play with them. I replied that I would have to call my agents. During the London Olympics, the idea was even hotter and I got to talk to Kobe. Now, for me to go there, the Lakers need to get rid (he didn't say it like that, it was nicer but the idea is the same) of a guard (to open up a roster spot and get him his minutes). Playing there would be worth taking the minimum".

this cant be life..

Thanks Finwe.
