Kobe
Bynum

everyone is not safe.

Kobe, Bynum

The rest can go. LA can hire me to pack their bags. I'll pack Gasols for free.

GNC · by **GNC** on Sat May 19, 2012 11:22 pm

I'd add Sessions to that list. I know he has had some horrible games this post season, but he has been pretty good these last two games and has had some good stretches. I want to see him get a full season with the team.

Kobe/Bynum/MWP/Hill/Sessions.

Everyone else I don't care for one way or another, except for Pau who needs to be gone.

Kobe, Bynum, Sessions, Hill, Ebanks, Goudelock

Rest can go

kobe, bynum, glock, mitch, jeanie, vitti and tanter, everyone else can go

I (regrettably) made this same thread before game 7 against Denver(out of frustration) and it didn't go very well. Let's finish the series strong, rep our team, and then talk when it's officially off season.

GO LAKERS!

Kobe, Drew, MWP, Hill, Sessions

Everyone else...

by **jamabile** on Sat May 19, 2012 11:26 pm

I'd also add Sessions. He's a keeper. He could be a good backup PG.

The Laker Link · by **The Laker Link** on Sat May 19, 2012 11:27 pm

Kobe
Artest
Sessions
Hill
McRoberts

Blake I am eh on right now as well as Gasol, but I feel like if you can trade Gasol and Bynum you could get HUGE return so.............just the bolded guys FOR SURE.

Pau needs to go. I'm sick and tired of him.

Lakers808 · by **Lakers808** on Sat May 19, 2012 11:31 pm

barnes, pau, murphy definitely need to go

I liked him, the same way I like Hill.

I say Keep Him.....you can call me crazy all you want.

Kobe, Bynum, Hill, Sessions, Artest. Sessions hasn't been great, but if he can be kept for cheap I keep him, hopefully even make him a backup if we can get a starting PG somehow. If Hill can also be kept cheap, he's proven to be a solid backup PF. And Artest, he plays hard, I think he's still worth keeping since I believe he has no trade value.

Lakers FO will have to begin the upcoming offseason with one main thing in mind : don't come back a third season in a row without shooters ... it may help for spacing purposes when you are a post up team ...

More than names , our personnel just doesn't fit today's NBA recipy of success , we have no outside shooting , little speed and little athleticism... our so called great paint players aren't offensively dominant enough to overcome these needs and with no outside shooters , it makes it way worse

Doc Brown · by **Doc Brown** on Sat May 19, 2012 11:58 pm

I'd love for our bench next season to be....

Sessions / Ebanks / Beasley / McFly / Hill

- The McFly I want has to be the one who played for the Pacers who looked to score and could shoot the rock.
- Beasley sign and trade for Pau
- Re-sign Sessions, Ebanks and Hill

I'd love for our starters next season to be....

D.West / Kobe / MWP / Millsap / Bynum

- Delonte West with our mini-MLE
- Millsap acquired by dealing Derrick Williams (via Pau trade) to Utah

With Morris / Glock picking up the rear.

Mr_Hollywood_Line · by **Mr_Hollywood_Line** on Sun May 20, 2012 12:00 am

Kobe, WMP, and Hill.

Use Gasol + any other piece we can to sign an all star PG.

The Rock · by **The Rock** on Sun May 20, 2012 12:01 am

I think I'd keep McRoberts too. You can never fault his effort. He's not a bad 4th or 5th big to have off the bench, he costs the minimum anyways

LosAngelesKing · by **LosAngelesKing** on Sun May 20, 2012 12:01 am

The answer is Bynum.

Any rational thinking Laker fan will come to the realization that Kobe's Contract must be amnestied, we trade Gasol for young pieces and or draft picks build around bynum while creating cap space for the years to follow

last stand · by **last stand** on Sun May 20, 2012 12:19 am

Lol no. The rational fan does not think Kobe should be amnestied. There are no championship #1 options available until 2014 at the earliest with Lebron

Kobes contract ends in 2014

It is irrational to think sucking for 2 years with no draft picks instead of competing for 2 years is a good idea

The Rock · by **The Rock** on Sun May 20, 2012 12:19 am

We need to build a team that beats OKC. That means we need wing defenders, 3 point shooters and a stretch PF. I can see Hill having an increased role on the team next year where he and the stretch PF can platoon it based on need (Ryan Anderson perhaps?)

I dont see DEN being serious, nor the Clippers and maybe the Spurs but thats it. We're still a top 4 team but the gap between us and OKC is wide

GinoDB · by **GinoDB** on Sun May 20, 2012 12:21 am

Kobe- because Kobe
Bynum: top 2 center
Artest- Kobe likes him and hes playing great recently
Sessions- give him a full season
Hill- hustles, could start next to Bynum
McRoberts- low risk,bench player, might as well give it another go
Blake-nobody will take him anyway , and hes given some effort
Goudelock- can still develop other parts to add to his shooting

Ebanks- I would like to keep him but I can see him searching for new opportunities
