Lakers w/ Caron, Odom, Mihm - 2004/05

[cbaldwinjr]

I was at that preseason game at the Save Mart Center in Fresno. Wish they'd come up more

[smlshin]

Trading Caron Butler for Kwame Brown was terrible move, but it all worked out for the best cause they got Pau Gasol.

0:42 fuck donaghy

[irezzy1]

we had a good team. surprise we didnt make the playoffs that year.

[MrProtuber]

dont know why in the fuck they traded Butler

[GonzoeKb24]

@MrProtuber Lakers needed a Power Foward at that time, Butler was ready to be a free agent that season and Lakers knew he was going to walk so they gamble on trading him for Kwame.

[AllenGarnettPierce]

LMFAO LOOK WHO IT IS AT A LAKERS GAME! Tim Donaghy!!!!! 0:40, AND LOOK HE'S TALKING TO ! , fisher-"Thanks for hooking it up past 3 years", Donaghy " Oh no problem , im not on ur side anymore btw", Fisher- " Fuck you"

[chappychapz]

if phil jackson coached this laker team, they would be a lot better than they were that season..

[eajae26]

@ 4:45 was that monta ellis?

[Synicaalescape]

why the hell did Lakers get rid of Caron Butler? They would of been a way better fit in todays team.

PG - Fisher

SG - Bryant

SF - Butler

PF - Gasol

C - Bynum.

[WitnessLeBronJames1]

@Synicaalescape Lol yeah caron gets 20ppg a game just think if they would have him now..lol

[bfahren]

@Synicaalescape They didnt get rid of him. For some reason (i guess Kobe being the most important one) they traded him to Wizards for Kwame Brown and Laron Profit. The same Kwame Brown they traded for Pau two seasons later.

Anyway, i rather have Artest than Butler. Yes, Caron is a better scorer, but why look for a scorer when you have Kobe, Pau and Odom on the same team?. Artest gives a lot on the defensive end while still able to produce on the other side of the court.

[24lakers7]

This actualy was a fun team to watch. Better than the teams with Kwame and Smush on them.

[SuperLakersrule24]

Chucky Atkins, Caron Butler>>>>>>Kwame Brown, Smush Parker

[TheJDMVP]

Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, Derek Fisher and KB24?????????

plus coached by Phil Jackson i taught atleast it would have given 1 ring

[pw21]

at 5:26 Who The F** is Yanke? haha

[nonplayerzealot4]

@pw21 I don't know, but I'll bet he's from New York.

[oneman91]

man kobe was so much quicker back then...miss those days he used to just drive by people like nothing

[pakizarish]

Fuck you, Sasha. Please go home. We don't care about your dreams, you are a never-ending nightmare for us. Check out Rudy's reaction to Lamar's dunk at 1:40. That is how I will react on the day that you leave the United States.

Thx NPZ for the vid!!!1 xxxxxx

[nonplayerzealot4]

@pakizarish "When yer drrrream comes trrrrru..."

[moose423]

0:44 LOL what a great ref....

[RohoicRamz94]

this doesnt look like a weak team.

[neuman7]

man only 5 yrs ago? Props to Mitch for making the Lakers the best in the league again.

[machina21]

Oh my god, the dark ages. These games make me appreciate the current team so much more

[nikosvault]

I like the talent on this team better than the next two seasons. The awful coaching situation and Kobe's injury devastated this admittedly fragile team.

And the thought of Caron for Kwame. Now that is sobering!

[oneman91]

yea..the '05 team was much better than the '06-07 teams..too many obstacles in the way during that season

Atkins, T.Brown, J.Jones, Butler>>Smush, Kwame, Sasha, etc.
