i can predict the future and thats how its gonna look!

I like it!!! What's your team off the bench?Who is our back up PF?

In this scenario, I don't know how we can afford BOTH Juwan and Gary...but if I had a say with this starting unit, my main bench players would be D-Fish, Devean, Slava and Rush...

I'll bet ya that OG is right on the money - this WILL be the starters next year (except I do believe Devan will be the starter at the SF instead of Rick, at least for the beginning of the season).

Fish could potentially grab a 6th man award given the style of PG ball he plays.

PF will be played by committee as normal (Horry, Madsen, Medvedenko, maybe draft a pick). If the Lakers could pick up a Sean Rooks or someone of that level to round this out at the center position, it'll be a banner year (literally) for the purple and gold.

This will look realistic if just one of those guys, meaning Juwan or Gary, becomes unselfish and accepts the LLE. If it happens, then this will be the lineup. Agree, on crucifido's take on Devean starting instead of Foxy!!!

No...We already told Devean to prepare to start this season, Rick is too worn out to be the starter and we need to save his energy and defense for the playoffs...Besides, if we can get Posey or Griffin for the LLE, we can let Rick take the year off to prepare for the post season play so we can use Devean, Posey or Griffin as kobe's sub in the playoffs and dramatically improve our mid roster rotation...
