Okay, I am now officially lowering my expectations for rounding off the roster even further.

I would like us to sign Shawne Williams as he can play SF, PF and C, is pretty tough and maybe he can shoot well again from 3pt land. I think our 3rd string PG is going to be awful. I think there is a high chance we lose out on Brand AND K-Mart.

I think our summer league squad and possibly other players from other summer league teams will be used to fill out the roster. I'm ok with this option, especially at the PG level. Nothing wrong with finding high potential, young players to fill out the end of your bench. Still need Kmart or Brand. The rest could be from summer league.

We'll definitely get a back up C from our summer league team- either Jerome Jordan, Henry Sims (can't remember if he's on our team) or AJ Mathews.

FA wise, there's not going to be much left for us. Likely we'll end up with a SF who's been done for a couple of seasons (Rip Hamilton) or something like that.

Oh and don't forget about the legendary Jared Jeffries!

Jim Buss was a bit stubborn about D'Antoni. Not sure but I think it would have been wise to explore if hiring a different coach brings Dwight back.

We should have done what I suggested and put Felton on the block, if for nothing else to see what it brought to us via discussion.

Yep, he was on the wanted list.

Grunny's doin work though we know that for sure(rolling eyes)

Grunwald has 1.7 mil and the vet mini to work with. Not sure what you expect.

I expect him to make signings with the small amount of money that pushes us over the Top. I mean he did help create this situation or did he not? But I'll wait to see what he does, as I'm sure he's waiting hoping someone just falls into his lap.

1 yr deal...looks like a team that could possibly be preparing for 2014 free agency. Have to wait and see what other moves they make...

could possibly? It's a definite by default: http://hoopshype.com/salaries/la_lakers.htm
