Hey all,

Here are my latest rumors – starting with the Josh Powell signing:

The Lakers replace Ronny Turiaf . . . Sun Yue's position . . . Cavs/Bucks/OK City three-way . . .

Thanks

Wow, the HW boards are dead nowadays...

Anyway, good, if unglamourous, signing by the Lakers.  Their stats and measurements are almost identical.  Both are 6-9/240 or so, both played 18/19 min. a game last year.  Ronnie was a much better shotblocker, Powell's a better rebounder and came at a cheap price.

The Lakers couldn't afford to match GW's offer to have Ronnie be the third string C or PF.
