1. Radmonovic:Stays because he be off the bench less minutes and will be a productive scorer lets just say he won't be guarding Peirce for many minutes,the less the better correct?

2. Walton:Maybe add him for the right deal to improve the point guard spot

3. Mihm:Hes gotto go

4. Karl:Hes gotta show something if he wants to stay

5. Mbenga:They need to acquire a true backup center for Bynum, but keep him on the roster though hes decent.

6. Newble he hasn't done much in his career, cut him and let sign elsewhere

7. Odom and Farmar (If the right deal comes along): I agree


The really were so close of tieing it 2-2 but blew it in the 2nd half but just playing stingent offense forced by Boston's great D. Kobe forced too many shots up and thats when they lost the lead. There comeback in Game 4 was amazing.

You guys are getting Bynum next year Radmonovic would be better coming off the bench think about the matchup if Bynum were in it would have been a different story, I even picked L.A 4-2 before the series down 3-1 no team has come back in nba history.

I am outraged about the finals what rivalary Boston won 8 out 10 finals going 9 out of 11 vs. the lakers..I thought this would be a 7 game series at least..lakers blew it.They should also try to improve the guard Fisher/Farmer are good but not great. They need maybe a good bench player, possibly a veteran who can get clean up off the glass and not let Boston kill L.A on the boards.

Bynum>>>Perkins
Gasol<<KG
Odom<<<Peirce
Kobe>>Allen
Fisher>Rondo

Lakers will be in good shape defending, cause Odom guards Peirce instead of having to guard Perkins and put Radomonvic who let Peirce have a 4 point play and has beens soft on D the entire series. Kobe defends Allen instead having Fisher guard him and drain threes on him. Without Bynum Lakers faced a mismatch on Defensive when it came to Peirce, leaving Ray Allen wide open who has been on fire the entire series.

everyone needs to claim down....We have to realize that we are not playing with are starting center this year who is probably our second best player when it come to importance. What Andrew brings to this team as far as defense, rebounding and overall toughness can not be overlooked. How do you thing the C's would be doing w/out Paul or Ray? We are a very young team and we need to play at full strength before we do anything.

How about Marion and Marcus Banks for Odom and Farmer?

How about a new Coach. When you get out worked by Doc Rivers you got to go.

Keeping Phil is a no brainer, but I beg that we let Rambis make subs and keep Phil from deciding rotations during games.... he kills me with his player decisions.

Although trading Odom is the easy thing to do right now and his contract is going to be very desired in the summer and before the trading deadline I think at SF he could be better considering his size but who can we trade him for and count out any player from the west because no one wants to help the Lakers right now. So that leaves a player from the east would the Pistons trade Prince or the Nets trade Jefferson would the Heat want Odom back for Marion and I think Hedo is defensive downgrade from Odom. I think those guys are the main trade options for the Lakers so maybe its best for the Lakers to just keep him.

Also Walton isn't going anywhere his contract is to long plus he's a perfect fit for the triangle and Mihm isn't going nowhere because he's been so injured teams don't know what their going to get from him on the floor and whats to say he and Bynum won't make a great combo at C.And finally Farmar shouldn't be traded he has to much potential.

Orlando would NEVER do that. They're not looking for fat contracts, they already have Rashard for that. Plus, Orlando's current offensive scheme is to surround Dwight with shooters, and odom definitely isnt a shooter.

Doesn't hurt that Riley loves Odom. Last time I saw the lakers and heat play, riley asked odom when he's gonna come back to the heat.

I thought it was funny when people thought there was such a big difference between 2 perenniel all-star guards, and still think its hilarious. Thus far in this series its been Kobe=Allen, Fisher=Rondo
