Another New Laker

Kwame Brown, free agent and center for the Washington Wizards, was traded for forward Caron Butler and a choice of forward Devean George or guard Chucky Atkins. Kwame Brown (6'11") was the #1 draft pick in 2001 and hasn't really performed to expectation so far. Hopefully he will have his breakout with the Lakers. He'll be taking position as a power forward for the Lakers and will ideally improve the Lakers triangle offense. Sounds like the trade will be for Chucky Atkins instead of Devean George. Farewell Caron.

That's a nice middle three right there. I always thought whoever got Kwame would be getting a steal, because the kid has tons of talent and would only be starting his senior year of college had he gone to school. He's had immaturity problems, but that's not uncommon in the first couple years in the NBA, especially for a kid straight out of high school.

It's possible that the Lakers starting five will feature three guys straight out of high school. Wow.

PG: they're trying to Antonio Daniels but his stock has been going up. Maybe Earl Watson (yikes).
