C.J. Miles considering signing with Lakers.
Name:C.J. Miles
Former team: Utah Jazz
Type of free agent: Unrestricted
Positives: Miles embodies most of the ideal characteristics the Lakers sorely need as a backup shooting guard. He's young (24). He scores at a consistent rate off the bench (averaging nine points in four of the last five seasons with Utah). He's also a strong finisher at the rim (66% from that area), thanks to his strong handle and quickness.
The Lakers need a backup with those qualities, and who can do so over long stretches of time. That's because Kobe Bryant will need to scale back from the 38 minutes per game he averaged last season, something that wasn't possible partly because the Lakers lacked a consistent backup shooting guard. Lakers Coach Mike Brown shouldn't have any hesitation using Miles in such a role.
Two seasons ago with the Jazz, Miles averaged 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25.2 minutes. Miles' stats show that he's most effective when he's getting about 20 minutes per game. Meanwhile, rookie Andrew Goudelock averaged only about 10 minutes. Miles could help give Bryant some needed rest and add scoring off the bench.
Negatives: Miles is far from a complete player. He's not a capable defender. He has averaged only 32.9% from three-point range. He also averaged in the high-20 percentile in shots, both from within 10 to 15 feet and shots from within 16 to 23 feet. Only a third of his shots come near the rim, suggesting he needs to work on his shot selection.
These glaring weaknesses may undermine his overall scoring ability. His defensive weaknesses would still leave the Lakers with holes on that end. Miles' inconsistent outside shooting stroke would probably not be able to punish teams that double-team Bryant, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. Because the Lakers feature a post-oriented lineup, Miles' chances at driving to the rim may be limited. Because of these issues, it's unrealistic to expect Miles to have the same type of production he had in Utah, especially considering the Lakers have such a talented starting lineup. It would remain to be seen if Miles could still provide enough scoring punch in a much more limited role.
Verdict: Because of the Lakers' limited finances, it would be smarter for them to pursue players with limited skills that can still provide a specific need. A good outside shooter or a smart defender would be two great assets that could come on the cheap if such players lack other qualities.
Miles doesn't fill that description, though. Because he's young and capable of scoring, the Lakers should still pursue him. But it would likely require the Lakers to use their $3-million mini mid-level exception, something they had hoped to avoid doing.

Um...Bulls fouled Charles Smith....
Hell Jordan chopped the shit out of his forearm on the baseline...
Horrace Grant was body to body with dude....
FOH..
Horace Grant jumped with his hands straight up and then got pump faked out of the play so he didn't commit a foul. And Jordan didn't chop the shit out of Smith. Smith damn sure didn't react like he got fouled. Smith simply failed to convert.....
Salty ass nigga right here...
People need to STOP COMPARING ERAS AND RESPECT THE ACCOMPLISHMENT... PERIOD...
Plus, everybody who road to the 'ring' is different... Magic's was different than Jordan's... which was different than Isiah's... which was different than Bird's...
Muthaufckas need to GET OVER IT... He got his ring and if he never wins another one... HE'LL STILL BE AN ALL TIME GREAT... DEAL WITH IT...

^^^^ This the one thing that had me tripping when Magic Johnson was
lobbing for the Dwight to come and join The Lakers. Kinda didn't understand
that shit.
Bash one dude for teaming with CERTAIN players but two years later encourage another player
to join another group of players.

Because... like most people... Magic is FULL OF SHIT...
If Lebron was to join the Lakers... Do you think Magic would have dissed Lebron for his choice?...
Most of the dudes who criticize Lebron... WISH THEY WERE HIS POSITION TO DO THE SAME THING...
magic johnson is a bitch ass nigga

NY Knicks
LA Lakers
Brooklyn Nets
Miami Heat

ok so I started reading but being faded combined with colin took over but I;m sure I read enough cuz I stopped at the part that stated damn near every 1st round pick signs to the 120% unless you get drafted by the Spurs
bottom line is if you didn't want to pay the 1st round money for that roster spot draft out like the Heat did or the Lakers and Mavs do all the time
If they did institute this rule as a Bulls fan I would hate it because we would lose. New York would always have a squad. Atlanta would be smoking muthafucka and Dallas would be tough and that doesn't include a team from L.A., B-More or Seattle.
