Josh McRoberts, Gerald Green signs with Lakers

[LA_Showtime]

Sources have told me the Lakers still plan on acquiring Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, David West, and Chauncey Billups.

That LA bench is looking pretty bare.

[MMM]

From the highs of CP3 and Dwight to McRoberts and Green

Gerald Green? I thought we'd seen the last of that dude..

Shout out to StroShow4 for his pic of Green:






I like the Gerald Green signing. He ended up out of the NBA for the sake of his low basketball IQ and struggles on defense, but hes very talented.

If he can finally put it together at 25, he could be a good option off the bench. Always thought he had Rudy Gay potential.

[Miller for 3]

Can someone tell us how McRobert's game is?

I only know he's athletic

Great handles and passing ability for a bigman. Can shoot it too, but doesnt force bad shots. Obviously very good jumper. Poor defender, but a smart player who can create turnovers. Like a poor mans Lamar Odom without the inconsistency and brain farts that Odom sometimes had

Oh i see now mcroberts is white. Pau is so gone^^


Nice signs!

[DuMa]

So now Kobe isnt the only one on the Lakers with fu.cked up fingers

Except LO was our most consistent player last year. He was also the most popular player on the team and led them in huddles.

Thanks

Don't like the fact he's a poor defender tho.

I like the McRoberts signing but I'm not sure about Green.

Still only 24. Lefty, monster in transition. Always looking to run and start the break. Great ballhandler and passer, had the best court vision the Pacers last year imo. Developed a decent 3 point shot last year but you'll say NO NO NO YES! when he shoots it. Really no scoring repertoire with the ball in his hands but that's not what anyone'd ask of him. Average defender on an off the ball, better off than on though, gets caught ball watching wanting to go for the big block sometimes, but the fundamentals are there.

He's a really good dude that's coachable and more than willing to buy into a team concept. Still a lot of potential with a versatile skillset for his size, just hasn't gotten a real chance yet. He's a lot of fun to watch, LA'll love him.

McRoberts is a definite steal. Very good signing (depending on how much he's paid though).

Green will become a new Ariza!...jk...

[Rowe]

Gerald Green is a dumber version of Shannon Brown. That's pretty scary.

He still has a higher upside IMO.

Maybe, just maybe this is the year he breaks out.

Just 4 years ago he was one of the centerpieces in the KG deal, but he didnt improve upon his 10 PPG average in Boston nor did he get any playing time.

Kobe will probably teach him how to be professional and then he'll break out and sign with the Mavericks this summer.

It can really go either way with the Lakers this year. They're seasoned veterans who know what it takes to come together and win games in almost any situation, but the combination of hits to chemistry, a new coach, and the bizarre circumstances surrounding the CP3 trades could be a cocktail of distractions they struggle to bounce back from. The first few games won't even be a clear indication of how they're meshing on the court, since Bynum is suspended for them.
