Wow
The Lakers on Saturday secured a verbal agreement from Clippers sharpshooter Vladimir Radmanovic on a five-year deal starting at the $5 million mid-level exception and worth in excess of $30 million
I like Radmanovic as a player but he can't defend to save his life.The Clips, craving a big forward who could stretch the floor for Elton Brand, dealt Chris Wilcox to Seattle on Feb. 14 for Radmanovic. They moved quickly to replace Radmanovic with Phoenix Suns forward Tim Thomas, who, according to multiple newspaper reports, has agreed to a four-year deal worth an estimated $24 million.
Dude can bust a 3 though, at 6'9'' he is an interesting matchup.
But 30 plus million for a part timer who is really one dimentional?
I wanted him resigned but I have to say I'd rather have Tim Thomas. That MF killed us in the Suns/Clips playoff series.He can shoot the 3 but that's not all he can do. Hopefully now that it's not a contract year he will continue to make plays for us.
The article also points that Cassell is next in line, that was really starting to make me nervous.
My wish list would include another defensive Guard and Post player.
Other than that I'll take a Thomas for Vlad swap considering we actually paid him less.
These aren't the Clippers of back in the day.
