Call me a homer, call me an optimist, call me delusional. but I agree about 12 and 6 being golden. We won a championship with Bynum playing on one knee 2 years in a row. The years Bynum was healthy Pau took a backseat and played a lot further from the basket and it hurt us. Bynum was a million times more efficient in the low post than Pau was for us, but we just couldn't win at an elite level. Our true strength was that chemistry between Pau and Odom (and really Odom's ruggedness and speed).
Bynum averaged 6.3pts, 3.7rbs, and .9blks in our championship run in '09. In our '10 championship 8.6pts, 6.9rbs, and 1.9blks.
If mitch can somehow improve our role players through trades and vet min players we have the potential to come together and win a lot of games. Cause really our bench wasn't too great in those championship runs; we relied heavily on the greatness of Kobe, Gasol, and Odom. Our bench was fast and young, but we won despite not having a great 3pt threat on the floor.
