I could see Nocioni coming over, along with their first round pick (not the number 2 but the 16). With Kwame at Center, LA then has a good, hard nosed defensive power forward/small forward who can guard the more agile big men that Kwame can't, leaving Lamar at his natural position, as a SF.
Nocioni's a Small Forward, and if Mihm leaves and if Kwame becomes the center, wouldn't that make Odom the Power Forward?

But I much rather have Chris Duhon than Nocioni. Duhon shows more promise as a mature leader. That's what the lakers need right now.
