Extractions: So what happened? Last Thursday, the trade deadline passed. What did the Los Angeles Lakers do? What happened to Carlos Boozer? Baron Davis in Golden State? Why did the Lakers not make a single move? The knee-jerk reaction is to fume at Laker management, specifically GM Mitch Kupchak. With so many players changing teams, how and why didn't he improve this obviously flawed Laker squad? The Carlos Boozer Fiasco This is a heavily debated subject. According to both the Lakers and Utah Jazz, there were no serious discussions surrounding Carlos Boozer to LA for Caron Butler, Vlade Divac and Devean George. The following is a timeline on the rumor that swirled across the NBA landscape. Jack Haley of Fox Sports West mentioned on Friday night, February 18th that the Lakers were near a deal sending out three players for one. The host of the Southern California Sports Report, Lindsay Soto, asked him if the Lakers were going to make a trade to improve their front court.
Extractions: Draft controls everything. When something unexpected happens, all bets are off. - anonymous Los Angeles Laker' staffer. Time to lick my wounds and take stock. With Jonathan Bender and the 17th pick not traded to the Lakers on draft day, the lesson learned is that even the most rock solid deal that gets leaked early is nothing but talk until it is announced official by the league. This is a learning process as I find my way deeper into the workings of the NBA. Bear with me as a work to get it right. Whether it was Indiana pulled out when Danny Granger fell to 17, the Lakers calling off the deal because of the nuances of the new collective bargaining agreement or some vast misinformation leaking out through the Laker organization about a deal that never was . . . reporting anything as a done deal prematurely is a mistake I won't make again. The Draft Watching the draft board, as the top six picks fell in the 2005 NBA Draft, it was clear that the Lakers weren't able to trade up in the mix. When Charlie Villanueva and Ike Diogu were called in the top nine, the obvious pick for the Lakers would be the kid they worked so hard to trade up in the draft to get . . . right? Nope, Gerald Green was a smokescreen.
