Ideal Bench Player

[Kilroy]

We realistically have only the Mini-MLE and Vet-Mins to offer players... JR Smith will be offered more than that.

Our best option outside of a trade, is to be granted an injury exception for Kobe and see if we can grab a full MLE player with that.

In any case, Mitch's hand should burn off if he picks up the phone to call JR's agent.

Give me Nick Young or Dorell Wright, hell give me both of em!

Give me Nick...will pass on Wright. He's less than average on D

[Patman]

I'd like a JR Smith or Delonte type player. Someone who takes the reins and doesn't always defer (too bad JR is going to get a decent to nice asking price this summer). Also, give us LO back. He's playing quite well again.

Does Lamar even want to come back? He has a fragile psyche and probably still has hurt feelings.

[AdonisDeMarion]

Why can't this said player can't do both, play alongside Bryant as well as step up and take charge when need be?

I've always wanted Stephen Jackson to play for the Lakers. He's not a bad guy, when given playing time he puts up good numbers.

Not for the bench but Chandler Parsons at the 3 in this offense would be incredible. Teams would pay time after time if they left him open.

J.J. Redick is a free agent this off season. I wonder if Dwight can convince him to come play for the Lakers.

I would be behind just about anything to get Parsons here

Does anyone see a kid in the draft who reminds them of CP25?

He would fit great here with our Big 4, the dude can flat out ball and thats an understatement

Corey Brewer, Nick Young, Jared Dudley, Wilson Chandler

With the exception of Young, any of these guys would be welcome. I have a soft spot in my heart for Duds.
Not sure about Chandler's D or his long range shooting.Brewer's no bomber wither, though. Both of them have athleticism over JYD, he just works his ass off. Good IQ as well

[what would jack bauer do?]

I love will bynums take over ability. He can be had for cheap. He's a better player than nate Robinson, and world's better than barea. The current state of the league allows you to play with 2 pgs. We could stay elite while Kobe is recovering with Bynum and martell Webster

Bynum and Webster would be a great offseason in my opinion. They both answer a need. Bynum can score and attack the basket while Webster would be the 3 pt shooting wing. I'm still in favor of dealing Gasol though.

[Michael Lucky]

there's no way Wilson Chandler gets anything lower than the MLE.

not to mention he's already under contract

[tugs]

if the Lakers didn't have a roster full of PGs I'd even consider Bynum. as for Webster, there's nothing to offer him. what, part of the MMLE? vet min? guy's not even expendable in that Wiz rotation. Ariza's inconsistent so as Cartier Martin and Singleton.

unless he wants to be part of a dynasty franchise and Washington has other plans then it may be feasible. he won't earn as much wearing P&G but he'll definitely get PT.

Did he and metta ever make amends? I saw an interview where he seemed miffed that metta never said thank you or anything like that after the palace brawl.

when a team like the Spurs rather have a washed up Tmac over Jackson, he's a BAD GUY! and a bad player, period!
