Lakers trade Radmanovic to Charlotte for Morrison/Brown

The Associated Press: Bobcats send Morrison to Lakers for Radmanovic

Clears up some money to re-sign Odom and Ariza.

Morrison is horrific but its a good deal to get out of Rad-Man's deal.

Also Brown is a decent prospect. Bigger guard that Phil likes and he's a pretty solid athlete. Could be developed into a solid defensive option/back up when Farmar takes over in a year or 2.

Also Radmanovic was basically spare points. He can hit the 3 but he can't defend, rebound, or pass.

cool, hopefully we can lock those 2 in longer term.

(odom and cobra)

Morrison and Farmar playing on the same team? Who woulda thought?

This trade could be good. Morrison's potential hasn't been unleashed yet. He had an average rookie year in the 06-07 campaign. Gets hurt against the Lakers in a preseason game and was out the whole 07-08 season. This year, he has just been struggling... that's all.

He was the 3rd pick after all. But then again, he could be like Kwame Brown ;) But still... can't really say anything about him until I actually see him play.

I know nothing about Shannon Brown, but I'm sure he'll learn from Kobe.

Yea I just realized he tore his ACL in a play against Luke Walton. So he has to play with the person that knocked him out of action last season and the player who made him cry on national tv. He must be thrilled.

In all seriousness, I don't see either of them getting significant minutes anytime soon. Morrison can't defend to save his life, has low field goal percentage, and doesn't know the triangle. Brown's a great athlete but has a terrible shot and I don't see him stealing any minutes from Fisher, Farmar, or Sasha.

AM will find new life, cant wait to see him drain the 3s from long range

Still gives me the chills.
