No need to trade Lamar for a pg. He's fine where he is. Farmar still has some value so we could definitely package him and whoever we pick to move up in the draft. There are a lot of small speedy pgs available this year. Patrick Mills is the answer for the defensive end and he has a solid jumper. Wouldn't mind picking up Darren Collison if Mills is gone though.
We'd be set for now and the future with Fisher/Mills/Brown. Now if we could take Jonas Jerebko (or maybe Vladimir Dasic) in the second round we'd have a decent back up for Ariza. Both those guys have Battier/Batum/Prince-esque length and height. Plus the scouting report on Jerebko says he's a perfect role player and great team guy that's shown he can stay in front of shooting guards, which is really impressive for a 6'9" forward. We really need an athlete at the three with even just a fraction of the toughness that Harpring has.
I think a healthy Bynum plus two solid draft additions would guarantee a dynasty. I'm not saying they need to be homerun players, but guys who serve a purpose deep on our roster like Lue did against Iverson. Now if there was a way to lure craig smith or dejuan blair type bruisers to the lakers with our assets it'd be overkill. We just need a little more toughness from the front court.
