On Saturday the L.A. Lakers sent Vladimir Radmanovic to the Charlotte Bobcats for forward Adam Morrison and guard Shannon Brown. When we first saw this, the one thing it reminded us about is how much of a bust Morrison has been since he left the comforts of Are the Lakers so confident ...

  • This trade was a salary cap dump, not a trade to get deeper talent. Vlad Rad was only playing 5 minutes a game, on a team where minutes are hard to come by. Ammo is going to be riding a lot of pine. I would be shocked to see if he gets any significant PT.
  • Don't speak too soon!! Nobody knows how Morrison will play as a Laker, To be honest with you and i'm not saying this because i'm a Laker fan.. I really think that he's going to turn out to be the best shooter on the team because Gonzaga ran a low key Triangle offense and he was a beast in it!! So who knows?
  • He was the best player behind gerald wallace on the bobcats
  • Uh, Okafor? Felton? Augustin? This just proves that MJ belongs on the golf course not in the front office. His GM/Prez /Owner skills are on par with Isiah "Sleepy Pillz" Thomas.
  • No one is on par with Isiah. He's in a league of his own.
  • HE COULD HAVE DIED WHEN HE WAS WITH THE (BOB CATS).....LOL
  • well he can't be worse than the Rad Man. Vladimir Radmanovic is a good 3 point shooter but he was in Phil's "doghouse" for showing up to practice wearing Vans skater shoes instead of basketball sneakers and for slacking as well. Its funny because when I saw Adam Morrison in the Lakers vs Bobcats game I thought to myself... "Man I hated this guy in college since I knew he was overrated.. I just don't like him. I'm glad he's not on the Lakers." and well i'm glad I bit my tongue lol.
  • MJ picked Morrison because he heard someone say Morrison was the "homeless man's Larry Bird" lol
  • because in that year the bobcats was in much need of a scorer and uh...morrison was scoring almost 30 ppg and the #1 scorer in the nation. thats why mj picked him
  • This trade is the best thing that has ever happened, before when morrison was in Charlotte, i had always made fun of how bad he was and everyone called him Kobe MoMo, now that hes in LA that name makes so much sense, i think the Lakers need to kick Walton out of the starting lineup and put Morrison in, how dominant could you be with a KobeMoMo in the starting lineup, its like a revival of the Jordan-Pippen days, honeslty we are going to be seeing the NBA in its prime with Morrison in LA
  • The only two things that happened with this trade is that Radmanovic will play more minutes and Morrison will bang out more females.

Vladimir Radmanovic Traded To Bobcats For Morrison, Brown

The Los Angeles Lakers have made a move before the all star break. It wasn?t quite the move we were all expecting, but it included one of the guys we thought was a goner. I wrote back in December that the Space Cadet would probably be traded, and turns out, I was right. Vladimir Radmanovic has [...]

Radmanovic trade a mistake for Lakers

Some trades are simply mind-boggling. The Los Angeles Lakers' trade that sent Vladimir Radmanovic to the Charlotte Bobcats for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown, is alarmingly close to that dubious distinction. If "mind-boggling" isn't the best description, then just plain ...

L.A. Woman

Two teams traded their refuse yesterday in the Association, and it's rare to see a more similar slop swap. It's the Lakers moving starter (but almost never a finisher) Vladamir Radmanovic to the Bobcats for yet another failed Michael Jordan first round pick, Adam Morrison. (Somewhere, Kwame ...

Michael Phelps can learn alot from Kobe Bryant about image

A LayupDrill.com ExclusiveOlympic gold medalist Michael Phelps has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons. The one-time darling of the summer games was caught smoking weed via a photo published by a British tabloid.

The Next Jordan? I think not

The Lakers beat the Cavs 101-91, but it wasn't because of Kobe Bryant. Lamar Odom scored 28 with 17 rebounds. He along with Pau Gasol, who scored 18 points, helped to hand the Cavs their first loss at home this season. Kobe was suffering with the flu and did not look like himself at all. But it amazes me that the man deemed "the next Michael Jordan" could not perform...

Lakers End Cavs Home Winning Streak, 101-91

At halftime it appeared that the Cleveland Cavaliers would coast to their 24th consecutive home victory. With Kobe Bryant in the locker room vomiting and getting pumped with IVs, it seemed impossible that the Lakers could come back from their 61-51 But the Lakers are no longer a one-man ...

Home Steak Is History; Lakers Prevail Over Cavaliers 101-91

The Los Angeles Lakers may be playing better since they lost starting center Andrew Bynum to a right knee injury last week.

Last night was Kobe's night to shine. If you haven't heard by now, he put an incredible 61 points. A whopping 48.4% of all Lakers points. It wasn't one of those 40 shot nights either, just 31 shots and 20-20 from the line.All of Kobe's points pretty much deflated the Knicks. They came out and ...
