In dealing Vladimir Radmanovic for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown, the Lakers saved approximately seventeen million dollars. The Serbian has two more years on his six million dollar per year pact, which doubles since the club is over the salary cap and in the luxury tax zone. Morrison and Brown's deals expire at season's end ...
 Breaking news mixed with analysis ... Their News: ''The Charlotte Bobcats traded managing partner Michael Jordan's first draft pick on Saturday, sending struggling forward Adam Morrison and reserve guard Shannon Brown to the Los Angeles Lakers for forward Vladimir Radmanovic.'' (ESPN news via Associated Press) Our Very Quick Analysis: Yesterday, Los Angeles and Charlotte exchanged problems in a three-player trade that will help the purple-and-gold’s bean counters. In dealing Vladimir Radmanovic for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown, the Lakers saved approximately seventeen million dollars. The Serbian has two more years on his six million dollar per year pact, which doubles since the club is over the salary cap and in the luxury tax zone. Morrison and Brown’s deals expire at season’s end. This trade provides Mitch Kupchak with options. The GM can use his newfound salary space to re-sign useful role player Trevor Ariza and/or sixth-man Lamar Odom. Then there is the possibility of another move. Remember, the Lakers recently lost Andrew Bynum and could use a fill-in at the five-spot. After years of under-performing, underachieving, and even a freak snowboarding injury, Radmanovic finally helped the Lakers. And, with this deal, the strong become stronger.

Hi there ... thanks for responding. I`m unsure what Morrison will do. If he produces, then great. The Lakers consider re-signing him. But if he struggles, they can get him to leave and use the cap space on Ariza, Odom and others. No risk, all reward. While, I like Morrision and for a variety of reasons would like to see him succeed, he hasn`t shown much. Perhaps a change of scenery will help him rediscover his jump shot and confidence. Also, LA is closer to his home in the NorthWest so who knows. I see him leaving and the Lakers maxing the cap space. Get at me with thoughts on this though. Thanks for commenting .... report abuse

Real good trade for the lakers gm. The lakers just got deeper and got a real bad contract out. Now they can resign Ariza and Odom in the offseason. report abuse

morrison is gonna get the same treatment kwame did...he's gonna get slapped around by phil until he gets his act together. morrison will either turn out to be a great role player for the lakers...or a huge bust. probably not as bad as kwame tho. but this trade does work for both teams. lakers shud never have left turiaf go in favor of sasha...last year was a huge fluke for sasha. report abuse
