Another big for the Lakers?
The Lakers may not be done adding players to their frontcourt. Free agent center Jelani McCoy is currently working out at the team’s facility with the coaching staff, Andrew Bynum, Chris Mihm and Josh Powell, agent Giovanni Funiciello told HoopsHype.com.
“We are waiting on some other clubs that have shown interest in Jelani,” Funiciello said. “We shall see our next move. He has lucrative offers overseas, but we have looked more towards the NBA… Not to say if something very interesting comes our way we wouldn’t entertain it.”
McCoy, who was a member of the last Laker championship team back in 2002, averaged 0.5 ppg and 0.8 bpg last season in six games with the Denver Nuggets.

I don’t think McCoy is the piece that needs Jackson in his roster. There is only one pure center (Bynum) as supposed starter, and Gasol is a great PF but he’s not strong in defense. Lakers need more pounds&feet in the paint, my friends…
Celtic regards for hoopshype friends!!!

Jelani McCoy is working out for the L.A. Lakers? I didn’t even know that this guy was still alive. Where did they dig up this stiff? Hell, I’ve seen BETTER NBA talent IN a morgue!

Lakers need to give Elton Brown another look, not Jelani.
