 Impending free agents the Lakers could welcome Their words are still hovering over Lakersland,
well-meaning advice for the offseason from two Hall of Fame members who
know a thing or two about building and maintain championship-caliber

the team in his farewell address last week. "They need to have speed to
get easy baskets."
Days earlier, former Lakers guard Magic Johnson told viewers on ESPN,
"The Lakers have two problems. They're too slow and no athletes." Warriors, Hornets, Pacers in Amundson huntIt’s not going to get people buzzing like the futures of Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul do in our post-LeBron world. Not even close. Yet it does rank as one of the growing curiosities in the NBA this summer: Why, on Aug. 18, is Louis Amundson still available? Brown update: Deal could come by end of the weekShannon Brown could be signed by the end of this week. But with who? Brown’s agent, Mark Bartelstein wouldn’t get into details Monday, only to say that he and Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak continue to talk. “We’re working on it. It’s a work in progress,” Bartelstein said. ‘Friendly’ dinner for Bosh and WadeDwyane Wade has confirmed he had dinner with Chris Bosh during a gathering in Los Angeles last week, but denies any notion he tried to recruit CB4 to South Beach as the July 1 free-agent frenzy approaches. “Some of my closest friends happen to be certain guys up in this free-agent market,’’ Flash told reporters in Miami during a weekend promotional event. “We’ve been friends since we came into the NBA. We signed with the same agent. So, we can’t eat together? No worries. Just friends eating dinner.” Rudy Gay's ready to answer the bellRudy Gay might not be a member of the proposed, star-studded free-agent summit of 2010. But he plans to be a heavyweight next season. The Grizzlies' soon-to-be restricted free agent forward has engaged in a training regime earmarked for boxers since the regular season ended. Gay, who is about to enter his fifth NBA season, has taken his offseason workout to another level as he prepares for a USA Basketball training camp next month and a possible maximum contract offer when free agency begins July 1. "I'm not fighting anyone," Gay said this weekend when reached by phone. "I'm going through the training. There's no more in-shape athlete than a boxer."
