Lakers and Hornets in Negotiations

http://www.hoopsworld.com/article_13115.shtml

As recently re****ted by Hoopsworld.com, the Lakers have agreed to a deal
sending Devean George, Slava Medvedenko and the 37th pick to the Indiana
Pacers for Jonathan Bender and the 17th pick.

Also re****ted by Hoopsworld.com, the ****tland Trail Blazers are expected
to
send Ruben Patterson, the rights to Sergei Monia and the 3rd pick in the
draft to the Utah Jazz for Gordan Giricek, Curtis Borchardt, Kirk Snyder
and
the 6th pick.  What's not clear is if it's Borchardt AND Snyder or if it's
Borchardt OR Snyder.  Most likely both players will be needed in the deal
to
account for Patterson's trade kicker.
