Horry to be let go by the Lakers

[NONEYON]

D-FISH & HORRY

Should've been traded along time ago...d fisher has BIG problems playing d on upper echelon pg, robert horry gets
abused by dayum near every pf in the league...but as long as ur winning knowone makes waves. The Lake Show should've kept NICK VAN EXEL, and picked up JO, ALONZO or THE MAILMAN.
I think any pg who relies on picks SUCKS ***. Unless ur double/triple teamed the faster player on the floor PG should make it out of time jams without em...ur out the door D-FISH like ya mamas dirty laundry

Re: D-FISH & HORRY

Personally, I would like it if the Lakers picked Horry back up. Then did a sign and trade for GP, with Fisher and Horry as the trade bait. Then, with their remaining mid-level exception, pick up Juwan Howard.

Then the lineup would be
PG - Gary Payton
SG - Kobe Bryant
SF - Devon George
PF - Juwan Howard
C - Shaquille O'Neal

Bench
Brian Shaw, Jannero Pargo, Kareem Rush, Rick Fox(injured), Luke Walton, Brian Cook, Slava Medvedenko, Mark Madsen

I think that this team could compete for the title, especially if Shaq comes back under 400 lbs, better yet, 350 lbs.

Dang shaq was 400 lbs!?! that guy needs to get on a non carb diet or something. Anyway, how is that team possible?? GP and Howard?! And with Kobe going on free agency the next year, Its hard to believe they will have the cap to do this.

Well, this is possible if both Howard and Payton take pay cuts, which I think they are planning to do anyways. Howard has expressed interest in the Lakers, and that would mean him taking the mid-level exception (rumored to be around $4.9 million this year). And Payton would probably earn a bit more than that thru a sign-n-trade. Fisher and Horry's salary combined would probably be around the $6 to $7 million mark.

The Lakers are already over the cap, but teams are allowed to do this. The cap is just there so you can't keep adding big time players all the time. For instance, the Lakers can't sign JKidd or JO, cause they won't play for that much, and the Lakers only have the mid-level. A sign and trade doesn't work the same as just signing a free agent. Trading players work if the players involved have salaries within 15% of each other. So, that's how GP could earn more than just the mid-level.

I beleve these moves would strengthen the Lakers weaknesess of PG and PF. It would make us better defensively and offensively. While it won't get us any younger, it will add some more athleticism.
