How come we have not seen the Gasol, Bynum and Odom lineup ?

Just for 8 min I would like to see the trio out their, it is worth a look at this point.

because spacing is already bad as it is!

Not to mention the rotations on D...............although they were a little better tonight. There's a reason Phil hasn't done it yet..........stay tuned ?

because lamar is the director (of the 2nd unit)

i'd like to see walton dictate second unit more with farmar and lamar move back to starting. also more josh powell to compensate for the size loss of lamar from the second unit.

it won't be a surprise if we use it all the time

The only thing Odom runs on the second unit is the layup line for the opposition

someone finally convinced phil that his dream of lamar fitting at the 3 was just that..........a dream.

Its BS Phil doesnt try this line-up.

LO is a team player and a winner. I want to see a line up full of the Lakers w/ the winning attitude. LO seems just as passive on the 2nd unit. His passing and the bigs + LO & Kobe on the boards would be the best offensive rebounding team of ALL TIME

Is the jury out on LO as a winner?

Not a loser is one thing, but winner is another.

LO has done ok winning, 57 last year i believe, only 3 losses this year

Hermes!! Add me to the bandwagon please. lol

I want to see this lineup as well. Obviously the spacing will be crappy, but we'll have so much rebounding, a lot of length to cut down passing and driving lanes, nobody will be able to post us up, and we''ll have excellent finishers. Bynum/Gasol/Odom has the length of the 2004 pistons with ben/sheed/tay....though that piston trio fits better on defense and is superior defensively as individuals (plus prince guads the outside, unlike odom). But I just want to see what it can do.

I don't think it's out, I think it already came in a long time ago. Lamar Odom is most definitely not a loser -- he has a lot of nice qualities -- but "winner" isn't the first, or even the 10th word that comes to mind when I hear his name.

It would be nice to see a team first guy like Lamar winning it all.

I would like to see more of that line-up, too. He's only gone to that line-up for about two minutes so far this season, IIRC.

Dwayne Wade, on Lamar Odom:

“I love L.O. as a person and, of course, as a player,” Wade said. “We had one year together. I wish we could have had more. It’s a guy who I’ve always said it’s a possibility when he left that he can maybe come back. … A player like that, we would love to have a chance to get because he’s so versatile.”

I'd love to see Lamar winning it all as a Laker, but if an offer for Odom comes along before the trade deadline — one that makes us better — we must take it. I just can't see what that trade scenario could be.
