do u think lakers need a center? and who would it be?

Answer 1

Dear Alicia,

i think considering that it's a semi-depleted center league, the Lakers could survive without one. However, they do need a low post presence and Kwame can not do it often enough and Bynum is still a few seasons away from being consistent (though he has shown flashes of brilliance). It would be nice to also acquire a post player who has range from the 15-18 foot range, so someone like a Garnett or J. O'Neal would fit that role well especially in the triangle offense.

i think that they have to trade one (if not both of Kwame and Bynum) and possibly even Lamar too. They can put Lamar in the post more as well. Out of the three games mentioned: Kwame, Bynum, and Lamar they could probably keep one of them to develop or be a complimentary role player (ie: Kwame just play defense and grab boards), Bynum as a project, or Lamar as a 2nd/3rd fiddle guy- but without the pressure to be a consistent 2nd scorer.

Go Lakers!

Answer 2

Definitly need a force inside, Kwame just doesnt cut it. I think a combination of a good power forward like Kevin Garnett and a mediocre center would work best. Would be nice to have a Yao or Howard in there but i think the best option is Garnett

Answer 3

yes they do.
kwame .... is kwame
and andrew bynum is wayy young and still hasnt developed
they need someone who can be aggressive, grab boards, and still nail shots from mid and close range, not just dunks.
24 cant do all the work

Answer 4

yes and not kwame brown. he cant even palm the ball(hold the ball with his palm). how bout LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE. who can shoot midrange jumpers just like amare. becoming an agressive blocker. great yr comin up im thinkin.

Answer 5

bynum is alright and also turiaf as long as they have
a good forward that can shoot mid range jumper.
odom should play post more often. a good point guard
can also help.
