Why not Sasha? (If we can't keep Odom)

^True, but I think we ought to get some kind of mileage from Walton and Radmanovic.

But not as starters!

no wai! i bet he could average 15ppg

sasha has been so good because the bench has been playing a more fastbreak style as their primary offense than the triangle

i dont know about his conditioning, i dont think hes capable of playing more than 28mpg

I remember seeing Sasha play in the FILA league at the LB Pyramid, when he was first drafted (I saw Kobe play there too) and Sasha could hit his outside shots and handle the ball very well against the admitedly lesser competition, it has taken him a few years to adapt to NBA level talent, but he had the will, the desire and the tools to succeed...

Sash isn't a starting 3, but has clearly established his worth to the team and can fill in at 1 through 3. He's also really come into his own this year with his pesky defense. I guess he's sorta like our poor man's Bruce Bowen/Manu Ginobli.

He often plays on the second unit because having his shooting out there is important, but his shooting also keeps him in at the end of games. I think things are working out pretty much fine the way Phil is using him now.
