OFFICIAL: radmanovic for morrison

Regardless of the one extra year of the contract, Radmonivich is 25x the player Morrison is(if you can even call that shmuck a player).

0.o how the hell Lakers get this kind of trades. Geez, Radman? Seriously? I feel bad for Charlotte fans.

Holy crap....

I thought this was a joke at first. Great trade for the Lakers even though I'm not an Adam Morrison fan.

well, its not that bad. people exaggerating a bit. morrison is awful, borderline not even nba worthy. they got a better player, but took on one extra yr. don't know what else they could have gotten.

Exactly, how is L.A. so giddy to get someone as TERRIBLE as Morrison?

Morrison's ceiling is Radmonovich. Just a salary dump for the Lakers.

this is a trade where I would say both teams say no...but both teams said yes?

Beno Udrih is tradeable, no doubt.

What an awful trade for the Bobcats, I can't believe that.

well, one of the financial benefits of trading a 3yr contract for a 2 yr contract is that now its a lot easier to resign ariza and odom. as far as their on court contributions, radman isn't even in the rotation, so its not that big of a deal.

This is true! I have hope now! If Radmanovic can be traded, so can Beno!

i'm sure the kings could find a team with a terrible player on a 4 yr deal to take on udrih's 5 yr deal.

Its really not all that bad for the Bobcats. To start, no big name free agent will ever sign with Charlotte, at least not any time soon, so cap room really isn't that big of a deal to them. To go with that, they are competing for the playoffs and this trade will get them closer to it. Radmonavic is overpayed, but he has playoff experience and is a huge upgrade over Morrison.

Everyone knocked the Jason Richardson trade, including me, but that has turned out great for the Bobcats. I have a feeling this will too.

Please.

What this does is insure that the Bobcats will continue to be mediocre.

No vision. Again.

Wow! Another great job by Mitch! Morrison is a project and maybe he doesn't pan out but Shannon Brown is just the type of player that excels under Phil. Strong gaurd and tough. He could maybe play some good minutes at the point and provide some D at the position.

The last thing you'll get from shannon brown is some D.

Radmanovic is way better than the package given and fitted well with the Lakers, can shoot, can pass, decent defense on bigs. I wouldn't rate this as a good trade for the Lakers. Yes.... upside (if u choose to see it, I don't) and better contracts but when you're chasing a title does it really matter? It's not even going to help them this off-season.

For those of you who dunno, MJ's not the GM.

Yes, Richardson deal was bad but I'm not going to say that this one is. Clearly got the better player and given the Bobcats' current construction, long-term contracts aren't a problem. So, good for them. Morrison looked certain to not pan out so there was no point in keeping him for his rights.

Bobcats' roster is much better constructed now regardless of the Richardson deal.

Are you kidding me? Richardson for Boris & Raja was great for us! You won't find ANY Bobcats' fan disliking that trade...until Crash went down we'd won 5 of 6, culminating with an OT win against the Lakers in OT! At that point we were playing with the 4th best defense in the league.

Morrison is total crap. He's gotten every opportunity yet he has no "confidence". Cutting bait with him is all that was left to do. I'm amazed we got anyone breathing for him.

Exactly. Good post DGrange.
