    don't even compare wesley johnson to gump

    simply seeing johnson on the court is an immediate reminder of just how bad the past few seasons have been

    Dude is the biggest ball hog on the team. I hope after this season, I never have to see him take an off the dribble, one step inside the 3pt line, contested mid-range J ever again in the purple and gold.

    Sit in the corner and shoot spot up 3s or dunk. That's it.

    Just remember, he has kept us in the running for our pick. Without him, with pretty much anyone in the league replacing him, we probably are in the playoff hunt.

    This dude seems to have this I don't know like a smirk or a smile on his face as if he's out there on a Sunday afternoon stroll along Venice Beach. Or is it just me? No intensity, no edge, no nothin'... He should not be compared to Devean George who may not have Johnson's athleticism but makes up for it by at least trying hard or thinking hard or looking to let opponents know that he is on the court...even if by accident.

    What's weird is he flashes this great talent. He's got that nice pump-fake, one dribble, pull-up shot from mid-range. He'll occasionally sneak behind the defense for a nice rebound and put-back. His jump shot has looked much better lately as well.

    But he's still a sub-par defender. How do you have that much athleticism, that kind of length, and still stink as a one-on-one defender? How does that happen?

    He won't be back next year. Count on it. He'll probably be playing overseas somewhere...

    Oh! The Clippers are interested in former Lakers??? Are you sure?? You mean like Chris Paul, Jordan Farmar, and Matt Barnes???

    Go ahead and take him. Please be our guest. Just like always you can have him once we're done with him.

    Well we did take Odom an Kaman and Young from them. Looks like our grabs have been better than theirs overall, kaman and barnes prob a wash. Young about same. But Odom = rings.

    He's now known as CP2, that's what caused the confusion.
