Rad Man - his shooting gives the offense great spacing capability for the bigs and Kobe to drive at will.
I would start Rad Man even when Bynum came back with Odom coming off the bench as super sixth man.
However, it now looks like Bynum will be back so late that he will come off the bench in the playoffs. So, front line - Gasol, Odom, and Rad Man.
Luke is a role player, period. His knowledge and consistency in the triangle is nice to have out there with Farmar when the team needs to settle down and get into the half court a little more when they can't get into transition like they want.

The Lakers offense is MUCH better when Vlad is in the game in comparison to Luke. He spreads the floor, and opens up the lane for Odom and Gasol to work.
Luke clogs everything and rarely finishes. He is a guy who has the fundamentals, but just doesn't have enough natural ability to compete at an NBA level. Sorry that is just what I see nearly every time I watch Luke play.
If there is one thing Vlad can do is hit open 3s. With Kobe, Gasol, and Odom on the floor we just need shooters on the outside. Vlad fits that perfectly. Add in Fisher/Farmar and it's all gravy.
