wezbos list of players he want in l.a
Wilcox
Thomas
Artest
Nocioni
Haslem
Kirilenko
Kleiza
I'd add JO or Kidd also.
I like the list although a trade for any of these guys using Kwame is probably unrealistic. He has very little value other than an expiring contract.
For a team to want to trade for Kwame, it would need to be desperate enough to want to get rid of a very good player to get a Kwame in hopes of saving money.
The only teams that may consider doing that are the Nets(Kidd) the Pacers(JO) or The Kings(Artest; although they wouldn't do it to save money but to get rid of a major headcase like Artest)
I'm sorry but I don't see any team biting on Kwame. In fact, he may mean more to the Lakers for his interior defense than he would to any other team in the league.
Most likely scenario is that his contract expires and he resigns with the Lakers for part of MLE.

Like Mikey said- Kwame for Curry. I'm a Knick fan....I'd do it. I'm hoping (along with every Knick fan in existence) that we eventually go for a rebuild....bring in a new GM who wants to cut salary and makes trades like these. I think Curry could be huge for you guys...especially off the bench to just come in and score a ton of points. Would you do it?

I have not missed more than one game in probably 10 years and I really dont like Kwame much at all. However, if you dont see that in the absence finding something better, Kwame can actually help us in one aspect that we will need in the playoffs. Defense. Jason Collins ? HA.. yes I know he is a "defender" but atleast Kwame has more impact.
And I believe we can get Artest if we offer a pick and Farmar with Kwame.
1) Whats the benefit for SAC? they give us Artest and make us contenders for the price of Farmar?
2) You dont think that deal hasnt been offered ?

Curry is not an off the bench player that will give you 19/7. He is a center and he would compete with Bynum ( remember the guy you want to start every game?) It would not make sense to carry that contract on a second string DEFENSIVE liability who cant rebound to save his life. This is the back up center you want? This is the work ethic you want on this team? Curry on this team would be a terrible move and possibly a chemistry killer.
