    LO/Bynum, Luke, Shannon, Farm/Fish.

    ~Mbenga and Powell filling in for injuries.

    That's what the bench should be, and we need another guard.

    Screw Sasha....once he got paid all he cares about is Hermosa/Manhattan beach pussy.

    We need to package AMMO and Farmar for Duhon

    Our bench isn't terrible if we sub them in for starters here and there, but when we put out a lineup consisting of only the second unit, that's where the problem starts because we have nobody who can create their own shot.

    All we're missing is another guard, as huevon stated. Sasha-AMMO-Farmar can't get it done, luckily two out of the three will be gone next year. Beyond that, Shannon is a decent backup, but like already stated, he cannot create his own shot. We played Drew out there last night with the second unit, but he needs somebody to feed him the ball, which is where we miss Luke. LO should be the leader off the bench and help us through some dry spurts, but he is LO so you can't count on him every night.

    I think all the bench is missing is another quality guard (trade?) and somebody who can create ball movement and get the ball in the post (Luke).

    Yeah definitely a trade, maybe we don't want to take on a bad contract though? That could hold things up a bit, but we still have some options.

    Or not. Dude has no jump shot anymore, his defense isn't that good anymore, and in general, he's just not that good. We can get better with 2 expiring contracts than Duhon.

    I'd still prefer Duhon to AMMO/Farmar.

    But yes I agree, I think we can net more with 7 million expirings.

    Only AMMO & Farmar. Next year Sasha will be in the final year of his deal.

    Hopefully we can get a decent stream of production from our bench as the season gets into its middle stages.
