Eric Pincus of Hoopsworld writes on the current situation of the Lakers and not – at least as of now – landing Kevin Garnett; the player hailed by all Lakers fans as their savior… HOOPSWORLD.COM: The big news of the day is heated conversations between the Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics and Andy Miller (agent for Kevin Garnett). Obviously Laker fans [...]

ESPN: The Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics, who nearly completed a blockbuster Kevin Garnett trade before the June draft, have resurrected those trade talks and are again in serious discussions, according to NBA front-office sources. Sources told ESPN.com on Sunday night that former teammates Kevin McHale and Danny Ainge have revived a deal that would end Garnett’s 12-season association with [...]

Seems like Brian Shaw had some effect on the Lakers front-office and are now trying to pursue after Webber. Maybe, Shaw should push harder for Garnett since the front-office is listening to him. Florida Today: Webber is reportedly considering offers from Detroit, Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Does Bob Kravitz from the IndyStar know something or is he just another analysis toying with our emotions… Probably the second choice.  While waiting for the Jermaine O’Neal-to-L.A. Lakers trade to come down, I noticed the Pacers recently signed Travis Diener.

Curses! According to Webber in his Slam Online interview, our very own Assistant Coach is trying to lure him to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, would Buss or Kupchak listen to bring in him to the Purple and Gold? Sound-off comments… MT: You gonna stay with Detroit? What’s going on with that? Chris Webber: I don’t know. I would love [...]

Thank God! I think the first game was a pretty big deal but after that, they were just a media driven match-up. Hopefully, there’s a Lakers/Suns game instead. Those are always fun… Sometimes. Miami Herald: After three years, the NBA and ABC wisely concluded the novelty has worn off Shaq vs. Kobe/Heat vs. Lakers on Christmas. Instead, word is the [...]

Eric Pincus breaks it down for you on HOOPSWORLD.COM… Record: 2-3 Key Stats: The Lakers matched up well statistically with their opponents with most major categories relatively close.

Well, if we can’t get the “Big Ticket” himself, I’d be more happy to welcome O’Neal to the Purple & Gold. Hopefully, the Lakers organization know about this and start talking to the Pacers to bring O’Neal to Los Angeles. Orlando Sentinel: [Darrell] Armstrong thinks the Pacers still are contemplating a trade of star center Jermaine O’Neal, which would touch [...]

This isn’t a rumor or some sort of source, but a suggestion from writer Tommy Beer. What are your thoughts of seeing Stephon Marbury in the Purple & Gold? Sound-off in the comments. HOOPSWORLD.COM: An ideal match may be the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe has been belly-aching all summer that Jerry Buss and Mitch Kupchak haven’t done enough to surround [...]
