    With the Laker trade and in flux of small forwards and payton disgruntled could we get Caron Bulter and Payton for our trade expection and parts so Lakers could get a Dampier or another Center

    If they sign Kobe, theyll be so far over the cap that our TE would not help them.

    And I doubt they would let a player like Butler go just for cap space.

    Exactly. They couldn't create cap space ... so they wouldn't give up assets that could be used to acquire players.

    Nice hedging of your bet, Sloan -- either way you can say you were right.

    Even though I think he will want to move forward with his career and leave the Lakers, I think he will stay for the extra money.

    ;)

    Well he does need to replace the contract money he lost when he was caught cheating on his wife.

    I would think the Lakers would rather take a trade exception for Payton than to buy him out.
