Mo Williams for MWP?

Just for the defense.....
MWP is a great defender....and he still can play lock down defense against the high scoring wings around the league. They both make around the same salary and with Eric Bledsoe returning at full strength. You saw what he did to the Clippers last week. He gets under the skin of opposing players like no other. I think it's doable. Mo Williams is exactly what the Lakers need, and the Clippers just have too many guards, particularly point guards

Giving the Lakers Mo Williams for World Peace would automatically make them title contenders
Playing with Gasol, Bynum, and Kobe, Mo would be absolutely deadly. His defense would also be hidden by the good interior d.
Meanwhile, Metta is an awful defender under most circumstances, is very slow, has nothing offensively left in the tank, and loves to chuck shots.
HELL TO THE NO!
This makes a lot of sense
A lot of nonsense.
I’m sure there are other teams who would love to have Mo. The proposal is not bad, the player we’re getting in return is.
when you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
It's a no-brainer...
and by that, I mean that anyone who would do that trade clearly lacks a brain. Come on now.

Absolutely not
Is MWP going to provide the same output off the bench as Mo Willy? And why should we care about helping the Lakers out?
just horrible...
I wouldn’t trade Gomes or Cook for that crazy bastard….and they both suck.
Dude has had one good game in two years, just happened to be against the Clips.
If we were to trade Mo, we would need to get someone a lot better than that. The way he is playing, they could get a quality player with some juice left.
Hell if you want crazy, call Gilbert Arenas, at least he’d be cheaper. If you want D, call Jamario Moon or Quinton Ross. Or talent wise, go to the D league, sign Manny Harris or trade a second rounder for Sean Williams…but keep that crazy bastard off of our team.
I would absolutely trade Gomes for Artest.

His contract is only one year longer and he's waaaaaay more tradeable if only for his career numbers.

As useless as Gomes is
I rather have him for the simple fact you can amnesty Gomes but you can’t amnesty Artest.

As Lakers fans, we have enjoyed an interesting relationship with MWP.
I wouldn’t do it. Mo would create a log-jam at our PG, resulting in even more hurt feelings on a team that has had it fair share of ups and downs this year. Plus, I would miss Kevin Harlan saying METTA……WORLD….. PEACE!!!!

And you wonder why you have such a problem at PG?
You are telling me, that you wouldn’t trade your slow, offensively challenged MWP for a Mo Williams who is in the best shape of his life who is shooting some of his highest numbers? That’s a joke. Honestly, this is extremely one sided for the Lakers, and no way would I ever offer this trade, but the fact that you are non existent in the PG position and you would rather keep some subpar 3 guard rather than getting a solid PG? This is why I don’t exactly have respect for Laker fans. You come in hear and try to show that you are not like the other, 90% of the obnoxious fans, but in the end, you prove that your knowledge as a basketball fan is extremely low.
And interesting relationship?
One any given night, you can go from I HATE METTA to wow he won us the game! I agree, that is an interesting relationship. You call for his head 80% of the games, but the 20% where he does a decent job you think he is your savior. Consistency is a HUGE part of professional sports, and not that many Lakers can claim to have that asset.
To be fair
We don’t know his disposition on Metta World Peace (unless you’ve looked up his prior posts). Frankly I thought his post was light-hearted and not abrasive to the Clippers or its fans.
Though it would (in my opinion) be a huge upgrade for the Lakers, all the guy is saying is that he doesn’t want a log jam at the PG position and I don’t think that’s anything to be upset with him about.
To be quite honest, this was extending off of his other posts.
He tries to defend his fellow Laker fans and I feel that is a noble cause, but it’s futile on a Clippers blog. He also seems to be somewhat snippy like “What happened to the smart Clipper fans.” To me, that implies he thinks he is a smart Laker fan. I am pointing out that he shouldn’t be hypocritical. He feels we aren’t smart when he makes a comment that is far from smart.
I didn't say clipper fans weren't smart, kind sir.
I was wondering where the previous posters had gone as I was left with a one-sided argument.

clearly referencing a logjam at the pg position of the lakers has to be sarcasm.
as for saxmanager even posting this trade i have to wonder if he is a laker fan?
C'mon
Sax has over 1,000 CN comments. While he likes the lakers, Clips are his #1 team and he has proven that over the past 4 years on this blog
lol, i know he is a clips fan, but i can't imagine how that trade would make sense for us
when it makes too much sense for the fakers.
And since you decided to look up my history, I looked up yours.
You badmouth the Lakers on other teams’ blogs. Classy.

So telling the truth is bad mouthing?
Pau Gasol talks the talk for 1 game and he thinks he can bully CP3. Am I going to take that? Of course not; it’s not an opinion if Pau pulled some crap on Cp3, it is a FACT, there is HARD evidence. Is it bad mouthing to say that Bynum is a punk? Well, I guess the handicap people should make way for the all might Bynum. He also leveled a 5’10 guy. So I’m sorry if you find the truth hard to take, but the Lakers are not the most deserving of respect. You’re right though, I may not show the most class to Laker fans, but you get back what you dish out.
Hypocrite

Cool story bro.
If you want, I can show you videos of all of these if you don’t believed they happened.
Lakers suck
Is that bad mouthing?

I believe it to be a fact.
Just because a word holds negative connotation, it doesn’t mean that it is “badmouthing”. The Lakers are not a good team is the same as the Lakers suck IMO.
I don't know.
Seems like a waste of time.

Meh you didn't do anything wrong
Not sure why all the fuss up there. I dig the loyalty to MWP :) something all fans can appreciate.

hell no
i wouldnt even trade mwp for ryan gomes
Let's be rational here.
MWP may be weak offensively, but he has some pretty good hands. While he may have some pros, Gomes has very few if ANY of those.
i guess the biggest con between those two players is mwp's contract
twice more expensive and one year longer
We're not so different, you and I.
Erik O: “I cannot dunk, and if I have any hope of dunking in the near future, I’m going to have to do some serious training.”
MWP: “I cannot dunk, and if I have any hope of dunking in the near future, I’m going to have to do some serious training.”
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
Headline
I thought the headline was some sort of award. MVP, MIP (most improved), etc. I was racking my brain for what MWP would stand for. Metta World Peace did not occur to me.
For almost any other version of MWP, this trade might make some sense. But he’s been terrible this season, plus then there’s the fact that he’s insane. So no thanks.
In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. - Elwood P. Dowd
You were right the first time
MWP stands for Most Wacked Player. So talking about the same guy either way.
It's pronounced Metta World Peach.

I was actually kidding about the post...
…and wanted to see the reaction, although two years ago I would do it in a heartbeat. Mo had some bad games last year when he was first traded to the Clips, but as we all know he’s been on fire this season.
I would take a bad Mo over MWP at this point
We need scoring off the bench way more than we need crazyness and occasional defensive brilliance.
This is my reaction to this idea
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
If I remember the episode
This was Michael’s response to having Tobe come back to run HR.

The actor who plays Toby used to work for my firm haha
I love Toby.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
He's one of the show's staff writers too
He once wrote a “Q&A” with “Michael Scott” for our magazine that we turned into a cover story. Nice guy, as I recall.
Proudly enduring the pain since the days of Bill Walton's foot.
Now living the good life in Lob City, CA.
Indeed he is
I think Kelly and Ryan too. I love how all three of them made their characters so unappealing.

Hah that's awesome
She’s funny.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
Haha I loved this scene.
It was my 2nd favorite Michael Scott to Toby interaction. My first one was in the Threat Level Midnight movie where he called Toby an Animal Rapist.
I would not do it. MWP hit the old man wall...
put a fork in him and he even admits that he is bored so not just his body is breaking down but his intensity for the game. Mo should be up for six man of the year if he keeps doing what he is doing—finally found his niche

Anybody that wants to trade Mo, CP3, or Blake is trying to sabatoge the team.
I sniff a laker fan..j/k.
NO TRADE MO, NO TRADE MO, NO TRADE MO
He is our spark plug off the bench. Mr Instant Offense
The brother is playing like the 6th man of the year!
First of all,
I would NEVER trade with the Lakers.
Second, MWP sucks, and Mo is a valuable contributor to this team.
I can’t ever remember a team with three All-Star PG’s, and I like the way it is working out.
So NO.
Do not worry. (Matthew 6:27)
don't speek to soon
if push came to shove…i’d trade Brian Cook for their first rounder
you know…since it will be in the lottery for years to come!
Ralph, "Last year so often with Blake Griffin you would see these things coming, with Paul, he's so crafty, all of a sudden boom there it is."
I'd trade nothing for Gasol ;-)

This is a great idea.
Actually, can we trade Griffin for MWP? We can throw in CP3 to sweeten the pot.
I would feel bad giving the Lakers our junk contracts in this case...

MWP and Dallas 1st for Ryan Gomes and Brian Cook
I would do this and Lakers would too.
No. No we would not.

You did trade Lamar for nothing.
Show some Clipper love.
Cookie is hard to resist though
Remember his days in a Laker uniform back in 04?
Well, neither do I…
Williams + Cook for MWP + Bynum
This trade sounds much better, but the Lakers may need to give up a 1st round pick to get the deal done.
Thats a joke right?
MWP> Cook, Bynum > Williams. Ha ha ha.

Yeah, pretty sure it was a joke.
Or at least I hope it was. It was just one of those silly trade scenarios like all the ones presented that have to do with Dwight.
No, those aren't silly!
MWP and our picks for Dwight is totally fair!!!!!!!!!!!!

MWP and Picks?
More like Walton and cash considerations.
No.
The rights to Chinemelu Elonu, and our 2017 2nd round draft pick, for Dwight, Ryan Anderson, and I think a couple of 1st rounders.
