now that's desperation if they are thinking about Delonte West

Source tells http://ESPNLA.com Lakers hweighing other options at PG. Situation w/ Nash too unclear. Can’t keep waiting while they lose.

Options are fairly limited, but Delonte West, Eddie House, etc. could help. Could do a small trade as well

Yeah they need more talent. Maybe if Jesus is available, but without Moses and Noah, won't be a lock. Can they get God to come over as a free agent?
lol imagine the Spurs get Howard, Gasol and Jamison.
Ring ring ring ring
"I could never play for the Lakers
"I signed with the Lakers to stay close to my kids
"Please judge don't let my kids move to Los Angeles
Delonte would solve some of their issues if they could keep him in line, tbh..
D'Antoni actually said "we'll figure things out when Nash comes back"
so would they be thinking of shipping Nash somewhere else?
holy that would be hilarious. his wife should try to get her kids closer to wherever that is.
Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory I heard.
Poor Nash didn't even get to have fun
I think Lakers will get Delonte West. Kobe's mom better watch out though.
Patty Mills for Jordan Hill. Makes sense for both teams.
If they really want more talent, they probably shouldn't be looking at washed-up scrubs like Eddie House
I was being serious tbh...Blair/Patty Mills for Jordan Hill. Makes sense for both teams IMO. LA gets a young, fast scoring PG along with a decent big man back. Spurs get a better fit for their 4th big.
Mills isn't a PG.
Who is Blair going to spell? Blair isn't nearly as tall as either Howard or Gasol. He's an undersized big who cannot shoot, cannot play defense and is a turnover machine. Patty Mills isn't that great. The Spurs have a way of making sub-par players look pretty damn good, but damn near all of the Spurs bench has a below league average PER. Then again Jordan Hill aint no prize either. Pop probably won't even talk to LA.
So? He's a great athlete and can score and plays the position (even if not a true PG). He's scored as a PG in they Olympics, he played PG and did well when TP got hurt and it's not like Jordan Hill is an All Star.
Boils down to this - would you rather have Blair/Mills or Hill/Eddie House?
Mills is a terrible defender, they have enough of those, tbh..
Hill/Delonte > tbh..
They also have enough head cases, they don't need another one of those (Delonte).
And Blair isn't decent
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
No firm decisions made yet but Lakers, I’m told, ARE weighing pros and cons of creating roster spot to sign Delonte West to ease PG crisis
What Mills is: Young. Really fast. Very talented scorer. Good teammate. Great energy. Works hard.
What Mills is not: A talented, skilled defender. A true PG. Polished. Old. Slow.
What LA is looking for/needs: A guard that is young, fast, can score. Would like a solid defender at the position as well.
What LA has to give up in order to get that: Average, to very below average big men. Or could go the bargain bin where there is not anyone particularly young or talented on both sides of the ball.
It honestly would be unfair to the NBA if the Spurs had a big market appeal and the kind of money that goes along with that. Put the Pop/Duncan-era Spurs in New York, and the Lakers 3 peat never happens nor does the 09-10 repeat. When the Lakers acquired Pau Gasol, the Spurs responded by getting Kurt Thomas
The Spurs biggest off-season moves in this era were singing Ron Mercer and Turkeyglu in '04 and the Richard Jefferson disaster.
I usually agree with avoiding a headcase signing, but what do they have to lose at this point, tbh?..
