I miss them all th same. They were all part of a championship team.

I miss the versatility of Odom
I miss the calm Robin Pau was
I miss the grit and fun spirt of Metta
I miss the clutch young legs of Ariza
I miss the length and dominance of Bynum.

i could kinda care less for artest and bynum....but that fisher/kobe/ariza/odom/gasol team was a lot of fun to watch.

Me too.. What could've been.

If healthy and had his head on straight, would be the best center in the league right now.

Who remembers the game @ Memphis where he torched Marc. lol man good times

Pau for sure. He whined too much and started to half ass it at the end but in his prime, he's probably the best PF to play for this franchise and an overall nice human being.

Tie between Ariza and Odom for me. Both were amazing.

It was time for pau to move on, nice to see him having some success in Chicago.

For me it's my favorite player from that era Lamar odom. Seeing what's happened to him since makes those years he was on the lakers even more fond when looking back.

Lamar was an underrated on the ball defender and beast on the boards. A little frustrating to watch a player with his athleticism and skill under perform on offense throughout his career. He never quite put the work in during the offseason to get himself to that next level and the one summer he spent playing for team USA he came back wrecking the league. But nonetheless Lamar was a competitor that pretty much always matched and outrebounded his opponent on a nightly basis. And he had just enough flare in the open court to make him my favorite player after Kobe from that Lakers squad.

Odom, no doubt. Still one of my favorite players.

Odom's buddy just OD'd which gives you a pretty good idea what's going on there... So for that reason alone, Odom... Just because I want him to get straight and go out with some dignity somewhere way down the road...

But in all honesty, Pau was huge for us... The Spaniard will be hard to replace for generations.

the BENCH MOB led by Odom...people tend to overlook what Kobe did to that team w/c is mostly composed of players now out of the league...

According to your logic, Tim Duncan doesn't deserve any respect.

The best PF to ever play for the lakers was Lamar Odom who averaged 15, 10, 5 and logged the most minutes at said spot on 2 title and 3 finals teams. Pau was the C. Bynum was less than Luc Longley among that trio when it ruled

LO with Metta second and Pau third. Ron was so damn funny, yet played so hard and sacrificed so much
