I miss Vlade, Kwame, Smush, and especially Von Wafer.

Re: missing Vlad?
How come this team wins 80% with whatever line-up is ready to go.
No variation before OR AFTER the line-up changes w/ Bynum, VLAD, or Mihm
Lakers step their game up when they need to.

Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!

Re: missing Vlad?
whilst the lakers do need another swingmen that can create his own shot and nowadays, 2/3 positions are quite interchangeable
the new 2/3 needs to be more sniper than slasher, something in the form of rayray for PP would be the perfect complimentary wing partner for kobe
i cringe everytime kobe decides to take 28-30 footers with defenders in his face, even when he makes them
in fact, sasha's upturn in form was great for the lakers last season, if only he could've repeat his form leading up to playoff time (and he still has time to play himself into form), we'd be set
we knew what we're trading away when we traded vlad (heck his 44% from 3pt land was probably allowed us to trade him in the first place), but im not sorry for downgrading the financial commitment and we kinda hoped ammo would fill that role but weren't too fussed if he doesn't turn out the way we want because we weren't trading for talent in the first place
i doubt we'll ever get a deadeye swingman with the entire western conference not keen on us getting stronger
best realistic bets wouldve been antawn jamison/rashard lewis at the 3 if only they werent signed to such exorbitant contracts

I miss Vlad's 44% three-point shooting.
Morrison is useless.

Atleast Morrison shows up to practice on time unlike Vlad who doesn't do anything right. So screw Vlad, and his 44% three-point shooting because he did it to himself.
