To the OP - are you like 6 years old?
Btw, I'm a Lakers fan, too, but we really don't know how good the Lakers are until they play w/ their full line-up for at least 10-20 games (and that's including Bynum). All these new threads about the Lakers that are popping up in General NBA Discussion need to stop. Nobody gives a crap about the Lakers getting better except us Laker fans. So, why don't you just keep these threads in the Lakers forum instead of giving everyone else a bad name?
Best starting five in the league

You have to factor in defense.
Sheed does more to win a series against the Spurs or Celtics than Gasol would.
Sheed plays D on Duncan and KG better than anyone.
Sheed disappears in the playoffs. One of the reasons the Cavs upset the Pistons in last years ECF was the fact that Sheed no-showed and got outplayed by Gooden and Varejao.

Gasol has never even won a playoff series.
SHeed's D in 04 over Kmart, Jermaine O'neal, and the Tim Duncan was huge in winning a championship.
In 05 his D was a key reason Detroit took San Antonio to 7 games.
Sheed excels against the best in the league.
And in 07 playoffs Sheed wasn't the same player is today. He was fat, dealings with nagging injuries, and worn down.
I guess we will have to wait and see what Detroit does this year against Boston and whatever team Detroit faces in the finals.

i think the top 2 starting 5s are Detroit and then NO, unfortunately NO might have the worst bench in the league.
