Post your predictions for first 6 playersC- Kwame BrownPF- Vladmir RadmanovicSF- Lamar OdomSG- Kobe BryantPG- Smush Parker6TH- ?
I would like lineup ofC- MihmPf- KwameSf- odomSg- KobePg- KobeThat's if kwame was telling the truth and is working on his jumpshot. Vlad rad would be immediate impact off the bench and would give it a huge lift.But yeh, your lineup is probably the one that's going to be starting on opening night. Maybe they'll switch odom to the 4 permantely.
^ 2 Kobe's eh? Well if Kwame can play the 4 as good as he did at center.. then definitely I agree with yours melo. Oh, and well switch Kobe and smush on pg of course.

Point Guard: Smush ParkerShooting Guard: Kobe BryantSmall Forward: Lamar OdomPower Forward: Vladmir RadmonovicCenter: Kwame Brown6th Man: Chris Mihm
At the end of the Year I expect it to beg-Jordan Farmarsg-Kobe Bryantsf-Lamar Odompf-Radmanovicc-Kwame Brown.Jordan is a smart pg, who can make shots and score points. He will fit in well in the triangle, and once he gets experience, I expect him to start some games.But at the beginning they will probably start Smush because Farmar will be too inexperienced.
Jordan Farmar won't start... I seriously doubt Phil Jackson wants to switch rotations in the middle of the year, I'm sure 1 year in to coaching the team, he wants to avoid switching the lineup. And he does not want to start a rookie, regardless if they're a smart player or if they get minutes within the year. Farmar was decent in the Summer League, but, proved to be inexperianced.

Our depth now has improved so if smush is pouting and aint playing d, he can be benched. If Jordan shows more triangle knowledge then smush [apparently he does], phll will have to play him. We all saw Phil play Luke walton in the nba finals as a rookie. It's all aboubt understanding the triangle. That's how i see it anyways.

Shammond Williams hasn't played in the NBA for a couple years, I don't see why he would take the job over Smush, especially in Phil's system. Smush has been in the system, Shammond hasn't.
yeah but obviously phil sees something in Shammond because if he didnt he would have gone and gotten someone like Kareem rush

Shammond was just a nice pickup and will most likely come off the bench...he had a great season last year in the European league so we will see how he does on the Lakers. But theres no doubt in my mind that Parker will start. Also,why would we sign Rush? He obviously has some mental problems if he was cut from the Bobcats in mid-season and was one of their leading scorers the season before. Not to mention,we already got Maurice Evans and Aaron Mckie to back up Kobe so we really don't need another shooting guard.

If phil had it his way rush is on the lakers.

I myself like Rush and would have loved to have him on the team especially since he knows the triangle. But it wouldn't make sense becauase we are so overloaded with guards.
