With Trev injured and out for 8 weeks. Lakers would want a defensive specialist. We have to look at a SF to take his place. Option 1, sign Ruben Patterson. Or option 2, sign the....

Stephane Lasme should get a shot first...sign him to a 10-day contract and see if he can do anything...Ruben Patterson has a history & the Lakers might not want him...maybe Lasme is a diamond in the rough...

D-Fenders lost by 2 to the Dakota Wizards last night. Wendell White - 18 & 10 Devin Green - 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists Brian Chase - 13/3/3 Cecil Brown - 11 points, 4 rebounds Sean Banks - 9/3/3 Stephane....

DO WE HAVE ROOM FOR ONE MORE PLAYER????

If we do Mitch definitely need to start scouting for a defensive SPECIALICIST!!!!

i thought we're full at 15 after we signed Mbenga

Mbenga is only signed to a 10 day contract. We should look into Sean Banks or Stephen Lasme. I'd even consider former Laker Devin Green

After Mbenga, I say we go after Stephen Lasme.

i still think we can get webber... id love it.. hes exactly wat we need..

do you guys make threads for everything..

Stephane's debut with the Miami Heat:

the lakers should put gerald green on the dfenders

so they can decide whether to keep him or just get rid of him next season

We cant sign another player we are full.But if we could there is know way we go after weber.did you know he is hurt and is not playing.look how he was playing before he got hurt(sorry).Webber time is over with.he needs to go back home and watch the games on his tv

Was Kobe Carl not playing? I thought he was getting playing time on the D-Fenders.

mccoy needs to seriously stop playing basketball.. he was in my nba 2k2 i think... and hes in the d league 6 years later?

One day he'll get signed again, its still pretty tough in the d league tho, i wish i was as good as those guys

If you can’t be a Laker, then the D-Fenders are the next closest thing. Just ask Brandon Heath and Joe Crawford.

Heath and Crawford, who most recently were on the Lakers’ training camp roster, were selected by the D-Fenders (the Lakers’ Developmental League affliate) in the D-League draft.

The Los Angeles D-Fenders announced that Heath and Crawford will join Darren Cooper, former UC Irvine standout Patrick Sanders, Johnny Dukes, Ryan Forehan-Kelly and Rashid Byrd will join

Selected by the Lakers with the 58th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Crawford, who played four seasons at the University of Kentucky, was selected by the Lakers with the 58th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. In six preseason games with the Lakers, Crawford averaged 2.8 points in 7.3 minutes.

Heath, a 6-3 guard out of San Diego State spent last season playing in France for Entente Orleans 45 where he averaged 12.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 25 games. In five preseason games with the Lakers, Heath averaged 1.4 points in 8.6 minutes.

D-Fenders Training Camp Invitees:

Name Position Height College

Rashid Byrd C 7-1 E. Oklahoma JC

Darren Cooper G 6-3 Portland

Joe Crawford G 6-5 Kentucky

Johnny Dukes F 6-8 San Francisco

Ryan Forehan-Kelly G/F 6-5 California

Brandon Heath G 6-4 San Diego State

Patrick Sanders F 6-6 UC Irvine

I am glad Joe Crawford signed with us. I think he has potential to be a future part of our team.

What about cj giles

Agreed.

Our future(after Kobe's retirement) looks alright but we need a big time scorer. I have some thinking that maybe J-Craw gets that role. I am VERY curious to see how he will do in the D-League. As for Heath, I feel like Giles should have been there instead

BTW, this has already been posted

http://lakers.newssurge.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-9649.html#245429

agreed..he needs work though...glad he is working on the D-fenders!!

better than coby karl

Well, maybe some time on the Defenders will land Crawford an NBA position in the future. I'm glad we have him on the team.

Box score from tonight's game against the Albuquerque Thunderbirds. Their top draft pick Deron Washington didn't shot the ball well but did other things well.

Trey Johnson - 31 PTS 14-22 0-0 3PT 3-3 FTM-A 1 RBD 7 AST 1 STL

I don't care if they were playing against the Marysville Mighty Midgets, those are awesome stats and the Lakers should call these guys up.

Is the NBDL season canceled too? If not, select Kobe, D-Fenders!

https://twitter.com/#!/SpearsNBAYahoo/status/175311689816866816 Another player who played under Mike Brown joining the D-Fenders. First, it was Jamaal Tinsley and now Jamario Moon. You guys....

in his only start of the season for the utah jazz tinsley had 9pts 6rebs and 13ast with 2stls agains the warriors in 34min. other than that he didnt really play. he only played in 12 games with the jazz before he got cut, i think we should bring him in on a 10 day contract if we dont make any trades or sign arenas

Darius Morris sat on the bench, and this time it had nothing to do with the Lakers' coaching staff refusing to give him playing time. Less than a week after the Lakers assigned him to the Development League, Morris missed what would've been his second game with theD-Fenders on Monday against Idaho because of a left wrist injury, saidD-Fenders Coach Eric Musselman. The team didn't make Morris available after the game, but he was wearing a brace on his left wrist. The Lakers said they're still awaiting test results before announcing anything, so it remains unclear when Morris suffered the injury and....

Live stream from tonight's game on youtube...

D-Fenders win! 112-98. Darius Johnson-Odom (30 points), Orien Greene (25 points) and Rob Sacre (10 points, 13 rebounds).

I am impressed with DJO,i wanted us to keep him,i prayed for us to keep him.Hopefully he becomes a good NBA player someday soon.He shot 11-15 FGA tonight.I got the stats for every Defenders player and Stampede player.
