I would love to get J-Crit back but Memphis won't do it with us...we already robbed Pau and if they give us Crit back, they will be even more than the laugh stock of the NBA that they are already.

I really have high hopes for critt. I personally think hes gonna be really solid.
But more importantly, I would try to get him just to light a fire under Farmar. Farmar got too comfortable after critt left. We need to give Farmar a reality check.

They can''t trade him back for a year and why would LA won't Memphis' third-string point guard? What has he done to have weekly bring Critt back posts on here? I am proud he is gone and I hope he never wears purple and gold again.

Naw Crittenton already did enough for us by helping good in SPL so we can acquire Gasol, we have a future pg.

Hey javier, you want to attack me? Tell me how many pro games your weak rear ever played. you can't even type a sentence correctly. The Lakers need a threat to start at PG (Hinrich or someone) not a scrub who can't get quality minutes for Memphis. Crittenton averaged 8 points per game this summer, not even what Crawford did for LA. You want to attack me? I wish we could meet somewhere.

wow this is a pretty hostile page for a ROOKIE like Jarvis
i mean honestly he didnt do much, but hes like twenty years old in his rookie season, he gets credit for the few minutes he played and yes he does show some talent

personally agree that we should get him back i dont see the problem with it except that it comes too late in the year and he wont make the impact that the Gasol trade meant so it would be kind of pointless in Febuary.

i dont really see a need to hate him, hes a rookie and he did the best he could with the minutes he got, and the best he could wasnt terrible

we need a scrub PG/SG anyway to make Farmar and Sasha work harder and to give our Gs a little rest

So Crittenton gets 8 points in 20 minuetes. Joe Crawford can do that and they don't have to trade anything for him. LA could use another PG but Crittenton isn't the one. Besides, he can't be traded to LA for a year so why can't some of you get that through your heads. They can't trade for him now.

We're only going to get him if Memphis or another team waves him.

Also, unless Sasha leaves the NBA to play in Europe, Crittenton will be getting the same amount of playing time he received last year for us. So the chances of him resigning with us are slim, especially if he can head to Orlando where Dwight could certainly press the Magic coaching staff to give him minutes.

hey SignPippenNow this is going to jodan's 3rd year it took sasha like 3 or 4 years actually to be good at something and now hes one of the best 3 point shooters you have to give farmar some time.
our point guard play wasnt the problem it was trying to defend pierce and next year when lamar is a free agent when can try to sigh luol deng

my only question is will he be able to contribute next season? he's still very young, and a very good prospect. IMO he will be much much better than farmar.

why does everyone judge farmar like that? hes only a sophomore, and going into his third year, he has the tools to be good, just give him another year or two to come out of his shell.

The Lakers can't trade for him. How hard is that for some you to understand? It gets old each week one of these bring Critt back crap posts happens. The Lakers, by NBA rules, can't trade for him for a year from the date of the trade. It isn't happening. I know they couldn't guard Pierce,, why do you think I want Artest so badly. What I have said about Pg is if you make a move for a PG get someone who can start and take some minutes off Fisher. Crittenton can't beat out Lowry, much less Conley, and he isn't the answer. Why trade for another player to sit at end of bench even if LA could. If they are going to bring back a blast from the past, why not go after a combo guard like Pargo? He wants 3 years and he wouldn't be bad filler if Sasha goes to Europe.

Do any of you really think Crittenton is any different than Turiaf? He is young and doesn't want to be third string. He wants to play and maybe Orlando is that place for him. He would be third string here just as he is in Memphis. Critter as you call him isn't nearly as good as this board makes him out to be.

people r way too impressed wtih javaris' cool ball handling abilities. he can pass well but he cant play defense and he travels like a johnny appleseed. he cant rebound either. he isnt big enough to body up with any larger PGs (yes farmar has that same issue) but people are WAY too enamored with this kid considering hes barely played. he had one nice pass to bynum in one game during hte closing seconds and people are hailing him the next coming of baby jesus or something. we will never get Critt back, we traded him for a reason.

oh i also rmr farmar having some amazing passes to bynum before he got hurt and some nice lobs to both turiaf and pau. he can hit his shot when its on and has alot of room to grow. people use to complain about how they dint want to wait for playerst o develop and they want to win now. well what do u expect if we get critt back? hed be starting from ground 0.

^^ people need to get over wanting Critt back. the chances of that happening are slim to none. if PJ or the FO wanted to keep him out of the pau deal they would have. i highly doubt memphis scouted this kid so much that they thought hey he is going to be amazing let's keep him well turn him into a superstar. no one turns into a supertar in memphis, you just go to basketball oblivion

^^None of that has to do with my point. You just listed abilities and weaknesses and attached them to Crittenton's name regardless of whether they were true or not.

Crittenton is athletic, explosive, big, and can create his own shot. He does need to work on controlling the pace of a game, his bad over-dribbling habit, and his play making. Above all else, he's a raw 20 year old.

He is not worthless and capable of nothing like some suggest, but he is not ready to contribute on a consistent basis either.
