after watching that vid, im sold. i was iffy because of his shot, but his D precense is good enough for me. him and Ariza can share 48 a game.

Toughness and defense.The guy plays hard. He's excellent off the ball on offense, and he's everywhere on defense.

this guy from the videos which you usually can't tell is reckless and tough but

he will lay his body on the line for the team to win

we need that

dude was on thee freakin bobcats and hes flying around putting his body on the line to win 20 games a season

this guy belongs on a winning team

gerald wallace you are welcome

mitch get it done soon

as kobe said about gasol

"hes never played on a big stage so noone really knows how good he is"

same can be said for gerald wallace

i dont think one person knew how impactful he was on a game

i did know he was fantasy royalty

but i mean on a perennial lottery team he gives 120% on every play

flying around throwin himself

imagine on a title contender

How would we be able to see his defense when he missies about 15-20 games a year??? I would think the Bobcats would have to include something else

that dunk when he was with sacramento they showed was legit

i dont think i've seen that

oh wait ariza on grant hill

How about reivisiting an old trade?

I just don't think we need to take a risk on Wallace and his injury history. He's a great player, but that contract could come back to bite us hard.

Reports have that Portland wants to deal Jack, Outlaw, and their pick (13th) for a veteran shooter. We need to swing this into a three way, giving them the shooter they need and giving us that package. Something like the Bucks getting Odom for Redd, Redd going to Portland to be the shooter, and Outlaw, Blake, Jones, and the pick coming to L.A..

I would love Blake and Outlaw on this team. Blake is someone we could use desperately at the PG position, and I have a man crush on Outlaw's game. He is a solid, solid defender who can stroke it when it gets it going. 40% from three already, a fine shot blocker, he generates steals, and can play in virtually any system. Easily a 15/6 guy who is insanely efficient. He reminds me of a lesser version of Josh Smith in terms of overall game, but he's more polished in what he does and he is a better shooter overall.

It's low risk, but we get what we need. Role players who are defensive minded, and are both around 40% shooters from beyond the arc. Outlaw is one of my favorite players in the entire league, and I have no doubts that he could fill our SF void with ease.

doesn't lamar miss about the same amount of time a year

at least when gerald plays we are unstoppable

and for your second point

if they include

nazr mohammed with him we solve 2 problems

back up center is fixed with a guy in nazr who has played in the NBA finals with the spurs and eastern conference finals with detroit so hes a veteran

with gerald we get a guy who just flys around on offense and defense gives 120% effort and never backs down. a guy who can create his own shot and have people create for him.

we are better if this trade goes down a lot better

He's not a good shooter, but neither is Ariza.

What's the missing piece there?

True, but he's considerably better than Ariza in all those categories. On top of that he's a much better ball handler and can get his own shot.

Guys, Gerald has never been to the Playoffs and isn't tested.. I wanna trade Odom for a more experienced player.. but I guess i will do it.

got to take risks to win it all

last time i checked going into the year it was thought ray allen was playing on basically shins, calfs, and feet because his ankles were gone

gerald comes here if he stays healthy its safe to say we have just won the lottery

that guy brings new intensity not here before

imagine bynum and wallace blocking shots

gamblers wallace, kobe, and fisher stealing and running

gasol looking really good because of all these great defenders around him

sounds fun to me

plus gerald wallace is fast as hell i mean fast

I'd rather have RJ, but that's just me.

Ha, they call him "G-Force".

neither had rondo and perkins

hell sasha, farmar, bynum, gasol, ariza had never been past the first round

its not like his type of game needs playoff experience

hes not a jumpshooter

getting to the rack is the same playoff time

and intensity when you have it 100% of the time is always the same

why would you want to help blazers get redd. they would be set for years.

Im torn...

its like on one hand he gives what we are missing, on the other, he may not be a big enough prescence to give us that mental edge.

Not only that, but IMO Ariza can develop into at least equal to G Wall. Dont forget that while Wallace is young, it took him a while and development to get here. The cats got him from Sacto in the expansion draft. If we can just give Ariza one more season, we have our own home grown version. All he need is to work on his strength and shooting and he is ready to be that defensive stopper at the 3.

i did before but after i say what gerald does defensively i mean we've never had that here

a guy who just flys around and blocks shots steals the ball

oh wait his name is kobe

and gerald is a premier slasher and finisher

one of the top athletes in the league

also i dont think the FO feels the same way

according to the guy with the story there are 2 options keep lamar or get gerald wallace

get er done mitchell

No but why pay him all that money for so long and then have a VERY similar player backing him up who is younger and has all the physical gifts he does.

If we keep Odom we could start Ariza and bring LO off the bench, start LO at the, have him play some PF, C, SG, PG. Or we could trade him for a number of bench players and balance are offensive minded bench out.

Sometimes people forget, the reason out offense is so pontent in the fast break is because of Odom grabbing the board and having to ability to push it and then either pass it or finsih it himself. You lose Odom, you lose alot of our fast break basketball, thus making a player like Wallce not as effective offensively.
