Lakers front line

I know a lot of us have been waiting to see Bynu,. Gasol, and Odom on the floor together. I just want to know how everyone feels about this and since I haven't seen a game since Artest went down how well do they play together up front?

slow rotations, poor spacing, can't wait to get artest and even luke back.

That and a clear lack of spacing for the likes of Fisher to get the looks they normally get. Kobe doesn't dribble drive in the opening quarters either making it worse for our 3 pt shooters, who are already on a mental handicap with their shooting percentages playing on their minds.

imo, kobe playing closer to the basket is the primary reason for screwing the spacing...

Just look at our defense with Artest in opposed to Artest out.

Opponent on offense sees Odom like a fat kid sees candy bars and attack him relentlessly. Odom's defense on the perimeter and down the post is absolutely atrocious as even 6'3 guards can score right over him. Meanwhile, he gives up offensive rebounds like candy on halloween.

It takes to adjust but if needed this line up could be great.

LO would need to train for an extra years and run point and Fish would need to come off of the bench

Well I want Artest back in the fold ASAP and yeah even Walton too

You guys think LO could be a point forward ala Pippen was for the bulls not comparing them just asking if he could play a similar role

lamar has issues trying to stay in front of other small forwards... lamar playing point is fun and all, but we wouldnt want him guarding PGs and other teams wont want PGs guarding lamar...

itd be listing him at PG for no reason...

I rather have Odom coming off the bench than him starting for us at the 3. I can wait to see us back at full power and see our bench Farmar/Brown/Walton/Odom/Gasol on the floor together. I love when Gasol and Odom leads the secon unit together...
