Lateral move. Cutting either Brown or Morrison isn't going to hurt as much as cutting Radmanovic in case they have to make a "1 for many" trade later. Doubt neither Morrison or Brown will rack up DNPs like Radman.
I think this new start and Kobe will bring out that fire in Morrison again, good trade for the Lakers. The rockets should have offered up head and a 2nd round or something for morrison
Lets see he went to college for 3 years, and was the 3rd overall pick who received limited playing time on a horrible team. This is not a guy coming out of high school that you can say had loads of potential. He's not athletic he's basically just a shooter. He may become average with the Lakers if given the opportunity but his talent is not 3rd pick worthy. I could be wrong though, but I doubt it.
Adam Morrison is a complete bust and does NOT have great potential. Radmanovic and PJ can't stand each other. Both teams are dumping guys they are sick and tired of. I give the edge to the Bobcats.
Artest is gone next year, he would have backed up Battier. I dont get the whole potential thing with Morrison and Reddick just b/c of their draft position or the bust thing....its not their fault they were awesome in college and drafted high. Both of these guys if on the right team can contribute in a huge way imo. If its potential, they both have the potential to be good role players.
i never though radmon was ever that great of a defender but his 3 pt shot was a beautiful shot to see with high arch how is morrison's defense though? i havn't seem him play very much but i've always thought it was on the level of say...redick and novak which wouldn't make kobe very happy
if morrison is still on his rookie contract year, then the lakers should have an option to dump him after this season.... maybe

I really like Shannon Brown.. this guy is really athletic and torched us in over-time 2weeks ago when Kobe fouled out. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r5hwawf_fvo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r5hwawf_fvo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> I think he can turn out to be a nice contributor for us. Even if Morrison and Brown don't play a single minute it's still a good deal for the Lakers.
rofl mitch kupchak somehow dumped that atrocious contract, vlad is useless on the lakers and his contract was absurd. This was simply dumping his contract to make room to resign guys like ariza/odom.
Both Morrison and Brown have potential. Morrison can score, although he hasn't got adjusted to the NBA yet. Brown is really, really athletic. Not a big trade for the Lakers.
Damn I liked Radmanovic on the Lakers, he was better at finishing at the Rim than Luke walton and he could stretch the defense.
