    Bynum is going to be good...just hope the Laker fans have patience...because it won't be like Kobe...who had a decent team in front of him when he came in...

    he wasn't expected to do much...

    Bynum has a whole slew of expectations...and some big ass shoes to fill...

        Bynum has looked pretty damn good in the summer league games for a kid who has played just 25 games of high school basketball. Been scoring a ton against 3 or 4-year college players. Says a lot about his talent. I think he's gonna be good if we're patient.

        If Kwame Brown's head is on straight, the Lakers have a decent front line with Odom, him, and Mihm.

        If they get Antonio Daniels, they have a playoff starting 5 IMO.

            Yeah, Daniels is pretty good, especially defensively, if I remember correctly when he played for the Spurs.

            They'll be in the playoffs next year.

                He's a big guard, he's a good defender and he can penetrate. It's exactly what Phil likes. Problem is he's like the best guard left on the market and teams can easily outbid the Lakers. But he has said he was interested very much in the team, so hopefully he'll come.

                Another good choice that nobody thinks about is Earl Watson, I'd take him if we can't get Daniels. Good defender, doesn't need to score a lot, good passer.

                    Also the Lakers after being so bad with size last year would suddenly get very big with Daniels.

                    You'd have him at 6'5'", Kobe at 6'6", Odom at 6'10", Kwame at 6'11" and Mihm at 7'0". That's a big team, and they have some big guys coming off the bench. So size isn't going to be an issue this season.

                                        Yeah Lakers didn't offer enough years. Too bad. Well there are a few other decent PG's out there that would work for them. Earl Watson comes to mind.

                                            The Lakers don't need a true point guard in Phil Jackson's offense...

                                            they need a "PG" that can shoot...

                                            Odom and Bryant will be the two that the ball will go through anyways...so I don't know why this is such a big deal...

                                            their focus probably isn't on any of these guys...

                                            my guess...is that the Lakers are looking for a PG with shooting skills...not passing skills...

                                                Watson is a little small ... but would be serviceable.

                                                    Phil Jackson's "pg's"?

                                                    BJ Armstrong

                                                    John Paxson

                                                    Steve Kerr

                                                    Fisher

                                                    like I said...do they really need a typical PG?

                                                        They don't, but they need a defensive-minded PG who can pass. Scoring is not a big deal, you're right, but it wouldn't hurt to have a decent shooter. There aren't many great shooters on the team...hell I can't think of any of them that can shoot the 3 consistently besides Kobe. Be nice to have a sharpshooter like that. The Bulls always had that in Hodges, Paxon, Kerr.

                                                        But Poj you're right, PJ hasn't always favored big guards. But he did have Jordan and Ron Harper starting in the backcourt for the second title run, and the Lakers did the same thing with Harper and Kobe.

                                                            Lakers: Stoudamire, Payton on radar

                                                            News

                                                            The Lakers have reached out to free agent point guards Damon Stoudamire and Gary Payton as possible replacements for starter Chucky Atkins, the Riverside Press Enterprise reports. They are offering a two-year deal at $5 million annually.

                                                            Views

                                                            Atkins was traded to the Wizards, leaving the Lakers with only three guards on the roster. Payton played alongside Kobe Bryant just two years ago, and that didn't work out too well, so we're voting for Damon landing in Hollywood. He'd see plenty of three-point opportunities with the attention Kobe draws.
