    The Los Angeles Lakers traded for Kwame Brown.

    The Los Angeles Lakers traded for Kwame Brown.

    The Lakers have a deal to send Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins, to the Wizards for the first pick in the 2001 draft, the Los Angeles Times reported in Thursday's editions and sources told ESPN.com.

    Neither L.A. general manager Mitch Kupchak nor Washington president Ernie Grunfeld commented to the paper.

    Brown's stay in Washington has been checkered.

    He averaged 7 points and 4.9 rebounds in 42 games last season, slightly below his four-year career averages of 7.7 points and 5.5 rebounds. He has yet to fulfill the potential that made him the first high school player to go first in an NBA draft.

    He was suspended for most of the postseason after missing a practice and Game 4 of the Wizards' first-round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls.

          After talking about Larry Hughes anti-managementness...I can't wait to hear Brett spin this one...

                  I don't want him. There ya go. I don't need to spin anything, I never do.

                  He won't pull the same shit he did playing for Phil and the Lakers I wouldn't think, but you never know.

                  He does have the ability to be a great player, so maybe he'll grow the fuck up playing for a real organization, who knows. His upside is very good if he has his head on straight.

                  And if it gets rid of Chucky Atkins, I'm all for that.

                  I don't think Caron Butler has as much trade value as the Lakers thought.

                      It took Jermaine O'Neil a few years to develop. He did come out of high school, and he would be a rookie this season had he went to college 4 years.

                      You can never tell with these high school players.

                          So pretty much, the Lakers get rid of Shaq and get these two guys? Who knows maybe they'll look smart down the road.

                                  I'm speechless, they trade two of their best players for one of the biggest draft busts of all time ??

                                  Good luck, Kobe...

                                      Chucky Atkins is a good player? ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if you consider him one of the best players on your team, then you're right, you're in trouble.

                                      I would trade Chucky for a can of piss. That's about what he's worth. I have no problem dumping him for anything. The Lakers two best players are Kobe and Odom, not Atkins and Butler. The Lakers may also get Antonio Daniels, and that is a huge upgrade defensively over Atkins. Actually I think Chuck Nevitt would be an upgrade over Atkins.

                                      And the Lakers don't need Butler, they need size. He plays the same position as Lamar Odom. Odom is no power forward. Of course he still averaged as many boards as Shaq did last year...but I know, Shaq had a great year.

                                      If Brown screws his head on right and is not a fucking problem, the trade could turn out well. I question whether he can or will, he has shown no sign of maturity yet. And I have no time for watching headcases.

                                      There is no trade for Shaq that will look good, because NOBODY was willing to give up anything for Shaq. The Miami Heat's season ended the same as the Lakers, at home watching the Finals.

                                      Neither Shaq nor Kobe got the last laugh at the end of the day, they both lost.

                                              I am quite settled and quite happy Chucky will be out of here shortly.

                                                  It's not like they are going to be worse off...

                                                  1. Kwame will be playing PF...which is his natural position...NOT...Center...which he's being advertised as...

                                                  2. Odom moves to the 3 spot now...

                                                  3. I really...really like their draft pick...I do believe Bynum is going to have spots of greatness over the next couple of years...

                                                  followed by many YEARS of greatness following that...

                                                          The Lakers just want a massive load playing center, but without the Big Aristotle-like ego.
