    Rocketsinsider -

    Yes its possible Vladimir Radmanovic can back-up Juwan Howard but i would think the most realistic spot for him is the SF spot.

    however its not out of question.

    BTW, fellas, I caught this blip on the GARM's radar today...

    Now, I don't know if bratna8 was 'speculating' or read another message board or is an insider trying to keep a low profile, but I have a feeling there could be something to this...at least I hope.

    Anybody else think the only reason this thread hasn't been locked yet is simply the wishful thinking upon the parts of the mods and all the posters?? :cool:

    thank you thank youthank youthank youthank youthank you!! As long as we can get rid of Juwan and his fat contract, I am happy. We will probably get some scrabby players in return though, like smush parker. :)

    I suspect that I will wake up tomorrow to find that the rockets have somehow traded Howard+head for Odom+randomplayer, only to wake up to find that they have traded Yao instead........ Then after waking up in a pool of sweat screaming death to CD, I log on to clutchfans to only find that nothing has happened. :(

    PLEASE don't let it be for Mihm. That guy is worthless. I realize Juwan isn't that great, but wouldn't that leave use Chuck Hayes and no one at the PF position?

    I'm confused...Juwan is (almost) dead weight at this point with a bad contract, but Mihm is a not worth it (and McKie is done in this league...he's like another Glen Rice)

    we were lucky when we got head.

    as is stands, i don't think we should just out willy nilly and give Head.

    No way Lakers would get rid of Odom or Smush.

    My guess would be Mihm and Walton. We need a 3rd center. We're set with this trade.

    Yao/Mutombo/Mihm
    Battier/Hayes/Novak
    TMac/Luke Walton?/Bowen
    Sura/Snyder/Head
    Alston/V-Span/JL3

    I doubt it will be Cook. Mihnm makes sense to us. Also didnt Odom want out. He didnt look happy in LA at all. Head played well against Lakers. Maybe master Phil likes his potential and willing to give up an uhappy Odom for him. Let it be true, dear god.

    I kinda doubt this rumor since there has been no word on Lakersground.net yet.

    But if the Lakers do trade for Juwan, Lakerspride will be my favorite poster of all time.

    Mihm would be a lot better than Juwan. He has this thing called athleticism. He also has an expiring contract. He may not have lived up to the expectations but come on guys. I can't believe I'm the one defending Chris Mihm.

    I think Juwan Howard will be the only package -

    it will be a 2 for a 1 trade possibly with a few picks involved.
