Hooped Up

The man and the moustache Adam Morrison is headed west to the Lakers after Larry Brown got his third trade wish of the season granted.

The deal has the Lakers receiving Adam Morrison and reserve Shannon Brown while the Bobcats receive Vladimir Radmanovic in exchange. Adam Morrison hasn’t worked out for the Bobcats since being drafted 3rd overall in the 2006 draft and Vladimir Radmanovic has been in Phil Jackson’s dog house so often he receiving mail there. 

A quick way to find yourself on the move with Larry Brown is lack of defensive play and Adam Morrison supplied that on a nightly bases as a Bobcat. But, with a deep Lakers squad his strengths can be used sparingly. 

Radmanovic brings some depth to both forward spots for the Bobcats and provides an outside shooting presence as long as he’s not snowboarding.

Currently, the Lakers have a the best record in the west and the Bobcats are 5 games out of a playoff spot in the east.
