Predict the Lakers Big 3/Big 4 Numbers and stats

[JordansBulls]

Now that the LA Lakers have Pau Gasol, how will each players numbers look?

These are the numbers they have now. How will the Gasol trade affect them? I would think that ppg would take a hit (just like the 2004 Lakers numbers did with the Big 4)

Kobe Bryant
28.4 PPG 6.30 RPG 5.2 APG 1.91 SPG .47 BPG 45.7% FG

Pau Gasol
18.9 PPG 8.8 RPG 3.0 APG .4 SPG 1.40 BPG 50.1% FG

Lamar Odom
13.2 PPG 9.50 RPG 3.1 APG .85 SPG .68 BPG 46.4% FG

Andrew Bynum
13.1 PPG 10.20 RPG 1.7 APG .34 SPG 2.06 BPG 63.6% FG

It all depends on which version of Kobe shows up on any given night.

[Tesla]

Kobe, Odom, and Gasol's numbers will suffer a little, and probably go down. Bynum's will stay right about where it is, and will only go up.

[NetsForce]

I could see Kobe averaging better than Jordan numbers.

[EiRON]

Kobe Bryant - 29 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 6 APG, 2 SPG, 0.6 BPG, 47% FG

Pau Gasol - 16 PPG, 8 RPG, 3 APG, 0.5 SPG, 1.5 BPG, 50% FG

Lamar Odom - 12 PPG, 8 RPG, 3.5 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 46% FG

Andrew Bynum - 12 PPG, 10 RPG, 1.5 APG, 0.2 SPG, 1.5 BPG, 60% FG

can you people shut up about these lakers/gasol thread, every where i look there is a new one

Kobe Bryant - 29 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 6 APG, 2 SPG, 0.6 BPG, 47% FG

Pau Gasol - 16 PPG, 8 RPG, 3 APG, 0.5 SPG, 1.5 BPG, 50% FG

Lamar Odom - 12 PPG, 8 RPG, 3.5 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 46% FG

Andrew Bynum - 12 PPG, 10 RPG, 1.5 APG, 0.2 SPG, 1.5 BPG, 60% FG

why would Kobe's scoring go up (even if it's small increase) with Gasol?


He should just cruise until the playoffs.

It's the newest news. First people got tired of the Boston Trades, then all of the why Miami is bad threads, now this. What should we talk about now? Everything else are things that have perhaps been discussed before.

Next season's numbers for those 4. This assumes Bynum gets 35 mpg:


Kobe - 27.9 pts/5.8 reb/6.0 ast/1.9 stl/.6 blk/47% FG

Bynum - 18.0 pts/11.5 reb/2.9 blk/55% FG

Gasol - 17.0 pts/9.2 reb/2.1 blk/53% FG

Odom - 15.3 pts/7.8 reb/4.7 ast/49% FG

He wants to talk about how lebron is better than kobe...

kobe's number will go back to 27 or so... his assists will go up (no more big guy missing those easy layups and getting fouled not awarding assists) and his rebounds of late will go down. His defense will go up

gasol's points will stay the same till bynum comes back in which it will go up, rebounds goes up also, but with bynum rebounds go down.. his assists will go up and blocks might go up a little.

odom's points will drop to around 10 or below.. rebounds will drop and assists will go up...

bynum's points will go up, rebounds about the same, assists about the same, blocks same.

Overall the starting 5 total points will go up (esp fisher/farmar with so many more open shots with the frontcourt being covered and fisher's man coming to help defend kobe) therefore, bench scoring will probably go down a bit.. but i can see if chemistry goes well that the offense of the lakers might become top in the league and they may start averaging 110 pts or so a game and most likely higher FG%. Getting to WCF or winning the whole thing will depend on defense.

[NapoleonII]

This team is gonna rebound the **** out of Western teams.

[incontrol__]

I posted this yesterday at another board.. but this seems reasonable to me:

Kobe - 26 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 7 apg, 2 spg, 1 bpg (37 mpg)
Odom - 12 ppg, 7 rpg, 4.5 apg, 1 spg (35 mpg)
Gasol - 18 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 3.5 apg, 1.5 bpg (35 mpg)
Bynum - 14 ppg, 10 rpg, 2.5 apg, 2.5 bpg (31 mpg)

Your gonna have to get used to it, cuz the Lakers are back!

[Number34]

Big four? big two and thats it.

[Patterns]

This year:
Kobe: 25.4ppg, 4.5rpg, 6.2apg, 2.0spg 46.5%FG
Bynum: 13.2ppg, 9.6rpg, 1.3apg, 2.1bpg 62%FG
Gasol: 16.7ppg, 7.8rpg, 2.8apg, 1.5bpg 53%FG

Odom - 15.3 pts/7.8 reb/4.7 ast/49% FG

those look pretty good
odom might not get to 15 though

[EHL]

^ Yeah, Odom has no shot at 15+ ppg as a 4th option if he's playing the 3 spot. His jumper has always been shaky since day 1 1999 Clipper days, so no matter how much attention Kobe/Bynum/Gasol draws he's still not going to hit from outside consistently and that'll be a problem for his scoring on the wing. He's also pretty limited as a creator off the dribble despite his physical talent, he only goes left and has little to no counters in the post.

I also don't see him nearing 5 apg. For example, when Bynum was breaking out in December and January (relegating Odom to 3rd option status) Odom's overall numbers dipped below his averages from the past 3 seasons, both in ppg and apg, his assists being cut in half from his averages over the last 3 years as a Laker. So as 4th option there is little to no chance he'll be scoring 15+ ppg; don't even see how that's possible considering he has averaged that for 3 years in LA as a 2nd option. 12-13 ppg is about right, and probably 3-4 assists a game. Unless he magically improves his jumper of course, but since he's never healthy he'll probably continue to not be able to work on his jumper.
