He can run the system well, and he's a good guy to have guide the young PG's..
The Lakers need more then a vet at pg though, they need talent. They should have pursued steve francis. A francis-kobe backcourt could have caused some hell.

For Francis to play well like he did with Orlando and Houston, he needs the ball in his hands. That won't happen with Kobe in the backcourt. Also, I just don't think he would fit in the triangle.

Francis would have been great for the team seeing as the best thing he does is put up points. Also your telling me Francis can cause me hell for an organization then this guy?But I seem to remember Phil jackson about 10 years ago getting him to be manageble despite character flaws and play at a very high level. I think Jackson could have done the same for francis and possibly have got him back to playing at a high level around 14-18 ppg especially with how weak the lakers are at having people step up. For the same price also.

Hence, why it says "Sheed" and has his picture. I am guessing you were referring to Rodman.
