Question

Their current lineup will most probably have Parker, Kobe, Radmanovic, Odom and Brown as styarters and Walton, Cook, Mihm, Vujacic.

They may opt to go with Odom at point which he has done for a while last season, Kobe, Radmanovic, Brown, Walton

Answer 2

They need a Point Guard...period. Like said before, Parker and Vujacic are good backups, Vujacic can play backup 2 if necessary, although with Maurice Evans, not likely...Cook or Mihm or Bynum or Brown can be traded (preferable Cook, now that we have Radman).

Let's take a look though.
PG: Smush, Sasha, Farmar, McKie
SG: Kobe, Evans, Wafer
SF: Radmonovic, Walton
PF: Odom, Turiaf, Cook
C: Brown, Mihm, Bynum

We definitely need a PG, cuz Farmar is too young, McKie is too old, Smush and Sasha are backups, not starters. At ST, we're set, because hello...it's Kobe. Evans will be a decent backup. I say move Radmonovic to the bench, start Odom and Walton (they can go back and forth). I already said trade Cook because we have Radmonovic. Radmonovic will be the backup 3, Turiaf at 4. Brown and Mihm at the 5, although we could trade one away. It'd be nice if say Smush or Sasha and McKie and one of the centers for say....KG, but that won't happen. A more realistic one is those three for someone like...i don't know. It would make sense if we tried to get a big guy who could rebound. That's my take.

Answer 3

a point guard with court vision. one that doesnt need the shot because radman is an outside shooter and needs to be set up and kobe needs the ball 85-90% of the time spreading the ball to a talented odom underneath the hoop and high potential brown wouldnt be a bad idea either.

Answer 4

Everyone says they need point guard. What they really needed was a power foward who can block shots and grab over 10 boards a game. Wallace would have been great. They'd be better off without Odom unless he stops passing the ball soo much.

Answer 5

They need a real starting point guard. Parker and Sasha are good backups but it looks more and more like Farmar will start by mid-season, and that isn't a good thing. I would gamble and take Jay Williams or trade for someone that can make plays.
