Lakers Sweep Nuggets

The Los Angeles Lakers brought out their brooms in Game 4 of their playoff match-up with Denver as they beat the Nuggets 107-101. This series has been the only sweep of this season's post-season.

The Nuggets tried to get back into the game through the efforts of J.R. Smith. But Smith's efforts weren't enough. Kobe Bryant then took over when it mattered most scoring nine points in a row in the 4th quarter and lead the Lakers to a 107-101 win over the 8th seeded Denver Nuggets.

The Lakers didn't really have a good game, but the Nuggets didn't take advantage of the Lakers' sloppy game. Aside from J.R. Smith, none of the Nuggets seemed pumped up to win this game against L.A.

Lakers Offering Kwame, Radmanovic and Farmar to Nets for Kidd; Denver interested too

The Lakers want to ship in premiere point guard Jason Kidd to Los Angeles. In exchange, they're willing to send Kwame Brown, Jordan Farmar, and Vladimir Radmanovic, along with a couple of draft picks. The Nets however doesn't want to acquire Radmanovic's long term contract.

The Denver Nuggets are also in the hunt for Kidd. The Nuggets would give up a big man (which the Nets badly need) in either Nene, or Kenyon Martin, plus Linas Kleiza and J.R. Smith.
