    This is being discussed in the 4/13 playoff game thread, but probably deserves its own thread since he's arguably the team's best player. It pisses me off that we couldn't keep him. Hope he does well, but not too well.

    Good for him. He deserves a shot at the big times. Mini mamba replaces the black mamba. Poetic justice

    His game reminds me of Damien Lillard. Could be the spark the Lakers need. Drew has worked hard, Morey ignored him for a long time, he deserves a chance to show what game he's got.

    Kobe probably played a huge part in recruiting him

    watch him become the next Jeremy Lin and just explode... then we'll have endless threads about how stupid MOrey and McHale are for keeping 'player x' over this huge talent....;)

    I hope he does well. In that way, we can recruit more guys to play on the Vipers. Hard work ought to pay off.

    One plus about them losing Goudelock is that it may give Rice and Kennedy more spotlight. Rice can fill it up and Kennedy was among the league's best players before getting traded to the Vipers.

    Vipers will be okay. Goudelock was just offense when nothing else was working. Time to play more team ball!

    (Trying to be optimistic like DofD)

    We traded away a good portion of the quality of this team early in the season for Andrew. Still, this is what the D League is for, so best of luck to him. I hope he plays lights out and gets a contract.

    Mamba goes down so they bring in the Mini-Mamba.

    I know Rockets wanted Brooks for veteran insurance, but I do think Rockets wanted him on team next season.

    Kobe gets injured and they don't even miss a beat signing this guy.

    Signing him this late means he won't be eligible for playoffs, right?

    Apparently he's got his own "Official...Welcome back Mini Mamba!!" thread in LA now.

    Damn can you imagine a D-Leaguer with no NBA experience then suddenly being thrust to a NBA playoff game? In LA of all cities too... cray.
