Somewhat of a change of pace from "Paulitis" and a Rich Ashley sighting, but I saw it mentioned on RealGm earlier this morning:

If Lakers, Nuggets or Knicks can't sign Caracter, word is two Italian teams, one Israeli club and Olympiakos have interest. Time for vacay. 8:30 PM Jul 23rd via web

I know it is Berman, and was twittered on the 23rd, but all dogs get a bone thrown to them now and then, so maybe this is legit.


I don't even know if we had Caracter in for a look- would Walsh even be interested for some reason? Does he fit in at all with the present team we have assembled? Weren't we supposedly looking at Anthony Tolliver a short time ago too?

Figured it was worth a thread, although he would hardly be a game changer on this team. Might be another trade chip, though. Don't understand how Denver gets him with their cap situation, and if you believe Berman that we are in contention with LA, maybe Caracter is holding out for a bit more $, or something guaranteed like Lin was looking for from the Lakers, who have $92.5 M payroll and also have Ebanks and Brown to deal with.

I thought he was super-impressive in SL--I can't see how the Lakers won't sign him for so cheap--I know they will. Caracter doesn't dictate terms and the Knicks have no say unless he is released--thats was stinks about being picked 58.

I remember that you like him. Could just be a numbers game with the Lakers. They basically gave us their #1 last year because of the million or so it would have cost them.

Maybe they would rather have Brown and Ebanks. They don't really seem to have a true classic PF on their team, to be honest. Gasol and Bynum are 5s, Odom is a freak type player who is almost beyond categorizing, but I guess you can say he is a "PF," and Ratliff, who they have on the roster, is a center. Everyone else is a guard or SF.

Still, they have so far held off signing Ebanks and Caracter at this point, so who knows that they are looking to do.
