Assistants on the move
Following last week's news that the Indiana Pacers will talk to Brian Shaw about their head coaching opening, the latest word is that Jim Cleamons will be considered for the open Seattle job. Then there's Kurt Rambis, who was a finalist for the job at Santa Clara, his alma mater, and it wouldn't be surprising if Rambis got a job at some point.
As far as trade rumors go, there are a lot out there these days, but the names haven't changed much. The only thing you're seeing, league-wide, is less reluctance on the Lakers' part to trading Andrew Bynum. Does that mean a return to the Jason Kidd talks? Quite possibly. Kevin Garnett remains little more than a pipe dream.
"Does that mean a return to the Jason Kidd talks?"
I doubt it because it wasn't just Bynum that was part of that deal. It was Kwame Brown amoung others and Bynum.
The only way that kind of deal gets done is with both Bynum and Kwame. That would leave the Lakers without a center.
Again, I don't care who the Lakers get. KG, JO, Kidd, or whoever! Without a defensive center it won't mean a thing.
I'm going to write a post, later, on why JO isn't the answer at the 5 spot, either.

Why don't the Lakers go after Gerald Wallace who is a free agent and Steve Blake who is also a free agent and can fill the void at the point guard position. Also with an addition of Gerald Wallace it adds a strong defensive presents that can also rebound. If the Lakers go after KG I am all for it but the contract will be huge and can we afford that... Nope. Let me know what you think
