Marcus Banks
Admittedly, I don't know anything about Marcus Banks' game. I know he was part of dealing Gary Payton until the mitten failed his physical. But the latest rumors are that Banks is coveted by management....
The word is that Wolves free agent point guard Marcus Banks is headed for the Los Angeles Lakers. Two years ago, the Boston Celtics and the Lakers made a trade that had Banks going to the Lakers and Gary Payton moving to the Celtics. But Payton failed a physical and the deal was called off. The Lakers have been trying to land Banks ever since, and that is where he is likely to be when the 2006-2007 season starts.
