Lakers And Wizards Agree To Kwame Trade
14th July, 2005 - 3:28 am

LA Times - The Lakers have taken another bold step to remake their roster, agreeing in principle on a trade that would bring forward-center Kwame Brown from the Washington Wizards and would send Caron Butler and likely Chucky Atkins to Washington.

Brown, 6 feet 11, was drafted No. 1 overall in 2001 and fell on hard times last season with the Wizards, but he has the potential to be an impact post player.

Laker General Manager Mitch Kupchak and Wizard President Ernie Grunfeld declined to comment Wednesday, but sources said the components of the deal were in place involving Brown and Butler. The Wizards could choose small forward Devean George instead of Atkins to complete the deal.

NBA teams cannot announce free-agent signings or sign-and-trade transactions until a league moratorium is lifted July 22.

and what EXACTLY is the difference beween the lakers and us again. we both have one star player - albeit theirs is better and some overpaid role players.

why is it that they can take a risk like this but we can't?

they can afford to move caron butler but we can't let go of Q?

the ball has been dropped here on this one...and jerome james just picked it up and ate it

ughh, this isiah yo-yo syndrome is killing me.

Dj! that is old news...I have posted a thread on that already....lock please.
