    Maybe, but I think the Rockets got screwed in that Lin deal.

    A first and a second to the Lakers for the rights to Sergei
    Lishchuk.

    Then send him to Europe where he can learn some skills.

    He's actually much better at finishing around the rim than he is at blocking shots.

    Lakers are secretly tanking. Kobe might know or not know about it. Might be frustrated.

    Black could save them some games so I can understand them trying to unload him somewhere.

    You do know Black played while we had a healthy TJ right?

    I don't even remember the last time TJ played. But I'm sure Dorsey was coming back from injury too.

    I was thinking Jordan Hill. I was hoping Black would go to Portland

    It was all about clearing cap space for Bosh

    I keep watching the Lakers box scores to see how he's doing. I figured he's surely get minutes on that squad.

    Being in the D-League might be better psychologically and developmentally for Tarik. Lakers seem like a pretty backwards place to be if you're learning how to play in the league.

    Put me in the "Lakers are tanking!" column. Black would help them win games. Don't they lose their 1st round pick if it isn't in the top 5? Looks like they're making sure they keep it. Bummer for Tarik.

    I also thought this was about Lin. Oh man if it was that would be great.
