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.

I really don't tihnk Shaq was 400 lbs..

<hr /></blockquote>

You're joking right?

Put the biggest guy in the league on Shaq, and he still makes him look like a shriump. Saying he's 345 is a joke. That guy has to be twice the size of any PF you know that plays.

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.

<hr /></blockquote>

Ok, I'm a Laker fan but we arent getting Payton for anything except the exception. The Bucks would be stupid to sign and trade Payton for Fisher and Horry. Basically we cant afford to sign both Payton and Howard because we only have 1 mid level exception.

Also, Kobe being afree agent has nothing to do with the cap. You can sign your own players at the maximum salary even if your over the cap.

I would agree with you, but I think the Bucks would rather get some players for Payton, rather then just let him walk. That's basically what it comes down to.

Just like with JKidd, I'm sure the Nets would rather work with the Mavs for a sign and trade that involves Nash, then just let Kidd walk away to the Spurs.

Not exactly the same, but kinda. . . uhhhh. . . ya, you know.

Here's an interesting article out of LaTimes.com. It says that Horry will probably be looking at other teams to finish out his career.
