He can shoot. That's about it though.

Well look at how Beno is flourishing in Sacramento.

This may be the team for Brian to bring out the best in all of his game.

Here is hoping anyway.

I can't wait till this team starts playing more games together. Barring major injuries we should be running on all cylinders come playoff time.

No Doubt!

I still think we'll move Brown too!

I wish no harm to Brian. The guy can shoot. He just wasn't a great fit in L.A. I'm sure he'll be a much better fit in Orlando.

I wouldn't be surprised if Odom gets moved as well. As long as somebody is willing to give something up for him.

Ahh, quit trying to sugar coat it!

Angel Luv, no disrespect, but Brian Cook was a cancer for the Lakers. He never ran back on defense, he is a terrible defender when back, he pouted about playing time that he never deserved and he had an at ude that was detrimental to the squad. Let's not forget the towel throwing incident with Phil Jackson. I am very happy that the Lakers are rid of him. I couldn't understand how he lasted this long.

Magic make another head scratching move.

[Stargazer]

So does this mean Kobe is staying for sure? Would they make this trade if they were still thinking about moving Kobe?

Magic make another head scratching move.

“Brian (Cook) helps bolster our frontcourt,” said Smith. “He is a power forward who shoots the ball extremely well, while also bringing added toughness to our roster."

I don't know who specifically sold them on that, but yeah...
He has a good shot....I guess...Other than that,
Cook sucks.

I really like this trade for the Lakers, good move IMO.
