| O&A Board Regular Registered: Apr. 01  | Richmond reportedly to sign for minimum LOS ANGELES -- Six-time NBA All-Star Mitch Richmond will play for the Los Angeles Lakers next season, according to a published report. Ironically, the team Richmond last played for, the Washington Wizards, announced Wednesday that it signed Tyronn Lue, the third-string Lakers point guard best known for blanketing Allen Iverson in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, to a multi-year contract. The Los Angeles Daily News reported on Wednesday that the Lakers have received an oral commitment from the 36-year-old Richmond. The deal is believed to be for one year, at the veteran's minimum salary of $1 million. Richmond must pass a physical exam, and no announcement is expected for several days. Lakers officials, burned last summer when Kendall Gill reneged after making an oral agreement, are remaining quiet on the issue. Richmond averaged a career-low 16.2 points in just 37 games for the Wizards last season. He was hindered by injuries. But he is a career 39 percent shooter from 3-point range and could be a boost to the Lakers' backcourt. Richmond has averaged 22.2 points per game in his 13-year NBA career. Financial terms of Lue's deal with Washington were not disclosed. Lue, 24, also endured an injury-plagued regular season and averaged just 3.8 points in 38 games last year. But in the postseason, the 6-foot, 175-pounder caught the eyes of NBA personnel with his defensive quickness. From the middle of the third quarter until late in the overtime of Game 1 of the Finals, Lue shut down the NBA's Most Valuable Player as the Lakers erased a 15-point deficit. Lue played 22 minutes and had five points and five steals in the Lakers' Game 1 loss, and he added five points in 17 minutes in Game 3. In Washington, Lue will compete for a starting job with Chris Whitney. The Wizards have been shopping for a point guard since waiving Rod Strickland in March. A 1998 first-round pick of Denver, Lue was sent to the Lakers in a trade for Nick Van Exel.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: Yeah, and now he's way past his prime, so what good does it do him?? I think the only use that the Lakers need him for is to hold the clipboard up for Phil Jackson as they diagram a play for Shaq, only to have greedy asshole Kobe to take the shot instead "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out, in a good cause, and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." -Vince Lombardi | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Excellent move by the Lakers... he will throw in 10 a game and give LA its first legit 3rd option since Eddie Jones left. Unlike Rice he doesn't demand the ball, will take pressure off Kobe, and free up point guards such as Harper (if he comes back) DFish, Hunter and Shaw and allow thenm to run the team and not worry about scoring when Kobe is off the floor. Saw this move coming months ago. Just another observation of insanity. | ||||
