RealGM

the rotation i will like for next year is
1st unit
fisher,kobe,odom,pau,bynum
bench mob
farmar,vujacic(resign),ariza,turiaf,sasha kaun or david padget(58th pick)

as for vlade, walton, and mihm, they can play ONLY in blowouts

my predictions for next year in stats are

fisher 10ppg,2asists,1reb 23mpg farmar 12ppg
kobe 26ppg,7assists,5reb,2stls 35mpg machine 10ppg
odom 12ppg,5assits,7reb,1blk,1stl 32mpg ariza 8ppg
pau 20ppg,4assists,7reb,1blk 35mpg turiaf 6ppg
bynum 18ppg,2assists,13reb,3blks 30mpg diop 4ppg


what are your predictions

assuming the roster stays in the same, i don't think odom is going to be playing sf as much as people think. it doesn't play to his strengths. playing him a lot at pf makes sense since gasol can play center and having two of odom/gasol/bynum on the floor at almost all times is way too good to pass up. it also lets kobe play some sf with sasha, something we can all agree was probably when the lakers were most successful.


fisher 24 / farmar 24
bryant 30 / vujacic 18
odom 12 / ariza 18 / bryant 8 / walton + vlad 10
gasol 24 / odom 24
bynum 34 / gasol 10 / turiaf 4

fisher goes from 28 mpg to 24 mpg
farmar goes from 20 mpg to 24 mpg
kobe goes from 38 mpg to 36 mpg
vujacic goes from 18 mpg to 18 mpg
odom goes from 38 mpg to 36 mpg
ariza/walton/vlad splt the rest of the minutes at sf, with ariza getting the bulk
gasol goes from 34 mpg to 34 mpg
bynum goes from 29 mpg to 34 mpg
turiaf goes from 18 mph to 4 mpg

id like to see vujacic play more sg w KOBE at the 3. any extra 3 minutes should go to ariza if he can shoot, walton if he cant. vlad shouldnt play, ever. bring odom off the bench to play the 4 w either gasol or bynum. keep bynum below 30 mpg.
