He could possibly start over FIsher but I am not sure if that will happen just because Fisher was really good last season. He was such a leader and I think he could have a really positive influence on Bynum.

Firmware 2.0 features toned-down Kobe love and a wider defensive stance?

Haven't you heard the story about Samson and Delilah? It's the same deal with Machine's hair.
I think he'll be in starting lineup at the start of the season if Kobe goes for that surgery on his pinky.

Re: Vujacic: Hardest Work is Offseason
This guy has the right attitude, that's why I don't think we overpaid him. He already shot 44% from 3's last year and he wants more.
I wouldn't mind seeing him getting more minutes at pg in the future.... I'm on the fence about Farmar, but Farmar is another guy that works hard to improve during the offseason... hopefully Farmar is going to the Derek Fisher school of defense because dude has the athleticism and speed to be a much much better defender than Dfish but just isn't yet. Maybe I should just wait to see how much Farmar has improved in October, but using him and Odom to get Prince/Mcdyess is enticing. Either way our roster is friggen stacked when Bynum gets back.

I would not mind Sasha at the 3 instead of Radman to open up the floor.

Re: Vujacic: Hardest Work is Offseason
He won't start. He'll always be our sixth man from now on, because he provides that extra spurt off the bench. Our bench would be flat without him. He brings that scoring ability.
The keys to this season are Odom (at the 3), Vujacic and Trevor Ariza. Staying healthy is going to be the most important factor though.

I would agree here, even though having Odom off the bench (which is who I assume would sit in this situation) would cause nightmare matchups galore vs weak backups.
But then again, Lamar thrives on getting his own offensively when pressure isnt put on him. Having him carry the offensive load off the bench might be too much for him.

I'd have to add Luke Walton to that list.
I have a strong feeling that Luke, given the proper minutes, is gonna put up career (or close to) numbers across the board. I have him penciled in as one of the keys for next season.

Re: Vujacic: Hardest Work is Offseason
That's exactly what I want to hear after hearing how focused Bynum has been this off season. We have the tools to do it, we just need to get it done

Re: Vujacic: Hardest Work is Offseason
Vujacic is a beast, he works very hard, loves basketball, tries on defense, and he is an energy player. IMO he is just as good as Ben Gordon. Also Sashas overall shooting efficency is very good, even with his up and down shooting.
Sasha 57.7%=1.15 points per shot
Lebron 51.8%=1.03 points per shot
Melo 51.0%=1.02 points per shot
Kobe 50.3%=1.01 points per shot
Gordon 50.0%=1.00 point per shot
Not bad IMO, hopefully this year he improves on consistency, i think with his work ethic he can become a great shooter.

Re: Vujacic: Hardest Work is Offseason
The fact that this guy says he wants to be the best shooter in the league says alot.
Each year his 3pt shooting % increases..
04-05 - 27%
05-06 - 34%
06-07 - 37%
07-08 - 43%
His FG% as well..
04-05 - 28%
05-06 - 34%
06-07 - 39%
07-08 - 45%
Proof of some hardwork in the gym.
I can't wait to see his stats for the upcoming season.

I remember a couple years back when people we're bashing on the guy, I was one of the only people who were backing him up. Patience is a virtue.
