Early, but big deals...
Today Mitch Kuptchak called a very important press-conference for an announcement to make.
M.Kuptchak(GM LA):"Today is a marked day for the Lakers, because we have achieved a deal with three teams. Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Bobcats and Golden State Warriors. The first deal was a three team deal with Charllote and Atlanta. We sent Kwame Brown to Atlanta, Atlanta sents Al Harrington to Charllote, Charllote sents Raymond Felton to LA. The second deal with the Warriors, was all about these two players Smush Parker(LAL) and Ike Diogu(GSW)."
P.Jackson(head coach LA):"I`m happy about our new players, and I would like to say that what we did was improvement. That's my short talk, now press agents are allowed to ask questions.
Press agent: What were the reasons of this trade?
P.J: There are a few reasons. At first Kwame Brown and Smush Parker both gave us a statement that they want to leave the team, because of it's current playing situation. They ment that they don't like to run the offense all around Kobe. Secondly we wanted to normalize our salary cap and to get a succesful and full of potencial rookie to achieve more awards and have a bright future.
PA: What can you say about your new players?
P.J: I like them very much. They're both rookies, but still they are going to be in the starting 5. They have big potential and I really like their playing style. Raymond was in a bad situation in Charllote because he was in the shadow of Brevin Knight, now he's in the starting five.
PA: What can you say about B.C.T. will the rookies be able to run that play?
P.J: Well they still need a lot of work to do so don't expect them to play as the real proffessional do. In time we will be teaching them and they will be learning so one day we're going to run the perfect play.
P.J: Thank you for your time and questions, we hope that the Lakers will improve after this trade as much as they can.
