no one likes to play with james
boozer now him
Newble to LA (note the absence of a question mark)
It's official. The deal is of the 10-day variety, but I wouldn't worry about that. More a formality that gives them flexibility. I'd be surprised if he didn't finish the season in purple and gold. From Lakers PR: Ira_newble
LAKERS SIGN IRA NEWBLE
EL SEGUNDO - The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent forward Ira Newble to a 10-day contract, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak.

The Lakers signed free-agent small forward Ira Newble to a contract for the rest of the season.
A defensive-minded player, Newble will be eligible for the playoffs because he was waived by Seattle before Feb. 29. He will make about $175,000.

Newble, 6 feet 7 and 220 pounds, adds a physical presence and is also insurance in case Trevor Ariza can't fully return from a broken bone in his right foot. Ariza is not expected back until the playoffs begin.
Newble, 33, averaged 4.3 points in 33 games this season with Cleveland before being traded to Seattle in February as part of the Wally Szczerbiak deal.
Newble played two games with the SuperSonics but was subsequently waived so he could sign with another team
or ScolaIt started about James and always ends with Manu and Parker
Yes, which is why there was a need to change the subject.
lol@Newble.... the guy's pathetic... but umm...Good News to Laker fans!
lawl
I think Ira Newble's an above average perimeter defender the Lakers can use in spots against perimeter guys like Grant Hill, Brent Barry, Peja, Prince, Paul Pierce, etc. He's not going to shut them down but it's better than seeing Luke Walton do it.lol@Newble.... the guy's pathetic... but umm...

Not much of an offense player but he plays hard nosed defense, a poor man's Raja Bell. Newble was pretty much signed as a safety blanket in case Trevor Ariza doesn't make it back in time.
soild signing
Newbie is a good defensive player. Nothing speical but soild
What a bunch of mornons.
Cleveland should call-up Sean Banks just to piss the Lakers off.
