This is from ESPN's rumor central.. McKie to Chief Triangle? Aug 18 - According to the Los Angeles Times, the Lakers have opened negotiations to bring in Aaron McKie as their new starting point guard. The Lakers had been focused on Derek Anderson, but it is believed the change in direction has been prompted by Phil Jackson, who likes big guards running his offense. McKie, who was waived by the 76ers, was reportedly close to signing with New Jersey. "It's fair to say the Nets are the front-runners," said Leon Rose, McKie's agent, in the New York Post. However, the Nets can only offer the veterans minimum, $1.1 million, while the Lakers can offer a chunk of their $5 million midlevel exception.
