Samb, we hardly knew you....

And just like that our big Sengalese buddy has been whisked away from us. The Lakers traded away Cheick Samb for spare part SG Maurice Evans. Perhaps Evans will see some time, but I really hope not.

The Lakers also acquired J.R. "Don't call me Danilo" Pinnock. I've never seen Pinnock play, but he's 6'5" and was the Atlantic 10 "6th-man of the year" so chances are he'll be good in the summer league and then find his next basketball job in Italy.
