Having a consistent 20/10 player (what Lamar is suppose to be), a natural PF, and a defensive threat playing next to Kobe would be a gift. If Bynum is there along with JO, then we're talking. The bench production isn't always going to be consistent. Let’s not forget that JO is also a defensive player and a 6-time all-star.

We have seen flashes, we just need both to be 100% healthy and get some help from the bench. Lakers dont need someone to get 20 ppg, they just dont. We score 100 a game, we just need someone to spread the offense and help move the ball. i dont want to see Lamar go. he is the perfect complement to kobe.

KO-BE!" louder and louder during home games. Heck, if we can win with these players here, why not trade Lamar, Kwame, and Cook? Wouldn't it be nice? Hehe, Indy wouldn't take this but hey, one can dream. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=981~617~2750~615&teams=11~11~13~13&te=1998:11-2813&cash= Lakers get: Jermaine O'Neal and Ike Diogu Ship out: Lamar and trash (Kwame and Cook) YEA!

I just don't see where he'd fit. I DON'T want to see him at PF anymore. Ronnie is becomming a very legit PF. Luke is Luke. Vlad is becoming what we've all wanted. Where does Lamar fit? I do like the using-him-for-match-ups idea, but will Lamar be content not being a full-time starter?

Steve Avery…The thing is if you play lamar at power forward you then put him at risk with his shoulders..(always banging inside) and vlad does not rebound as well as lamar.Against teams like golden state,suns,pistons and any other small ball teams i would maybe put lamar in but ronnie has a stronger bodie…if the lakers play like they did more often i would expect to see lamar moved along with kwame by the deadline…and lets hope cook as well

Last night the Laker bench had 67 points and against Houston, in the opener, only 11. In order for the Lakers to win games, our bench has to average, AT LEAST, 20 points a game. Not sure if this would happen but I wouldn't be surprised if Lamar comes off the bench to be the veteran leader of the second string. Lamar is so versatile that he could play almost any position. I like starting Turiaf at the power forward. Turiaf is a true power forward because of his size. Lamar's natural position is a 3, but because of his size, he can play the 4. It'll be interesting to see where Lamar fits on the team because Lamar can be a valuable asset. This Laker team is only going to go as far as their bench takes them.

To be honest, I have no idea. I think Phil will play it by matchup. Sometimes Ronny might start if we need Size, and sometimes Luke might if we need quickness. Regardless, Cook shouldn't ever see another minute when Lamar returns. Vlad could also end up the odd man out. Mihm too?

Hi steve……..Hi Dave
..Someone will need to give time up for Lamar and it cant be vlad if he plays like that more often…Luke..Ronnie..who?

Seriously he’s been worthless for years…. Envision, my sentiments EXACTLY. He can't jump. Every time he gets the ball, he's gonna jack it up. He always looks pissed, especially at teammates. When he's in the game, the spacing in the triangle is horrible. He has no desire. He can't jump or boxout on the boards. He is the laziest defender ever. He can't jump. And, he ugly. And btw, I'm glad the whole point guard situation has worked itself out. With Fish we finally have a PG to knock down any open J and LEAD the team, especially within the confines of the triangle. And the whole Farmar/Crittenson thing played itself out. Farmar looks sharp. Envision4
