Bynum off the Bench?

[B-Scott]

If the Lakers are clicking on all cylinders for the next 25 games without Bynum i wouldnt be surprised to see him come off the ench again.

It's possible Drew could come off the bench, but I doubt it. He's working hard, we want to keep him happy, make sure he knows that Pau isn't here to steal his thunder, so I definitely expect him to be a starter when he returns, and feel he should be the starters, has earned it, and he and Pau are going to be lethal working the interior, especially with Kobe and Lamar working around them and the shooters hanging out outside.

We will want to get Drew's defensive presence back as well, not to mention solidify the playoff rotations with Lamar starting at the 3, able to back up the 4, and Pau starting at the 4 and backing up the 5.

dumbest idea ever...

[JellosJigglin]

The funny thing is that Lamar will probably continue to score around 14 per, just doing so a lot more efficiently since he won't be shaded anymore, and also being a much more deadly playmaker (his A:TO ratio has already been steadily increasing over the past 4-6 weeks, and has been plain awesome lately).

Yeah, that's the funny thing about Lamar. It doesn't matter if he's the 2nd option or the 5th option. He's still going to average around 15/10/5 at the end of the day. That's exactly what makes him the perfect 3rd/4th option. His inconsistency can be hidden.

Which one will win the 6th man?

Even if Bynum is rusty and will play few minutes, he should start. PJ needs reinforce Bynum and make sure that he feels the love.

Bynum and Pau and Odom theoretically should all work together because they occupy different spaces on the floor. In fact, it's pretty much IDEAL.

[Lakerako]

Why not try to go HUGE during certain stretches of games? Not necessarily start, but against particular teams, I can see the FF being very effective.

Odom, Kobe, Radmanovic, Gasol, Bynum!

I don't think there is a team in the league that can defend that 5 on the floor at the same time.

Teams have to double Gasol and Bynum, which would leave either Radman or Odom open.

Odom and Kobe can be facilitator for the tri, and if all hell brakes lose, just give Kobe the ball.

Asides from being too slow on defense this might work.

Whats funny is that everyone is against bynum coming off the bench but Phil has said many times that he likes Bynum off the bench better than he does starting. Who cares if Bynum comes off the bench its not how you start the date its how you finish.
