I expect Blake to start for us and push the tempo.
I expect Kobe to post up even more.
I expect Odom to shoot for b2b 6th man awards, running the offense on the second team.
I expect Barnes to replace Artest in the starting lineup at SF and thrive in our new transition focused offense.
I expect Walton to be amnestied.
If there's a second amnesty cut, I expect Metta to catch it.
I expect to see more of the rookies and Sophomores than we have in recent memory. I have no expectations about their play though.
I expect if there's a chance to land Dwight, Bynum and Odom are offered, but I expect the deal to fall through.
I expect a lot of effort to be made to land a solid, young, PG.
I expect a talented SF to come to LA.
I expect LA to be firing on all cylinders by June and for us to be in the finals this season... Or the next season there is a finals.
I expect LA to destroy Dallas every time we meet them this season.
@ bold, that would be nice but it's far more important than we sign some shooters, otherwise teams are going to continue to pack the paint.
Ideally, a solid PG would also be a good distance shooter.
But I think it's pretty clear we need some athleticism and quickness combined with an ability to defend at the point...
Especially since Brown apparently wants us to run. Breaks are created on D and usually at the guard positions.
Shooters are much easier to find and much cheaper than a good solid point guard.
