Brian (Cook) helps bolster our frontcourt,β said Smith. βHe is a power forward who shoots the ball extremely well, while also bringing added toughness to our roster. Maurice (Evans) is a tremendous athlete, a solid defender and capable of playing multiple positions. Both Brian and Maurice fit in very well with what we are trying to accomplish.β
Added toughness? Is this the same Cook that was on the Lakers roster?

Thank God!!
Man, every time Cook touched the ball, a mistake resulted. Yeah the guy can shoot, but he can't do NOTHIN' else!!
I won't miss him, we don't need him. Nothing good happened while he was playing. _________________ Never argue with stupid people! They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience!! - Twain

Ariza just turned 22 this past summer and his contract situation is he is signed this year for $3.1 mil and has a player option for $3.1 mil next year. Anyone have any further info on him on this front? Like if he has an extension that needs to be picked up or anything like that? _________________ "People don't think it be like it is, but it do." - Oscar Gamble

So...our depth chart now looks like this?
Fisher, Farmar, Critt
Kobe, Sasha, Carl?
Odom, Luke, Ariza?
Turiaf, Vlad
Bynum, Mihm, Kwame (out for a while tho)
Sasha and Critt can play either the 1 or 2 and can Ariza play both the 2 and 3 spots? Would Trevor backup Kobe or play some 3 spot when more D is needed off the bench? Personally I think this is a good trade because when both Cook and Mo are out on the floor it makes me cringe. Ariza is more athletic than Mo and has better size. Addition by subtraction. Plus Phil won't be tempted to play Cook anymore.
