With the additions of Redd and Kobe, I don't think that need is as desperate as it was.

What they needed more than shooters was a couple of alpha dogs, and now they have it in Kobe and JKidd.

agreed, they have more shooters now...and Rashard Lewis is a better player and scorer than JJ Redick, but he is NOT a better shooter.

We're not. International 3 is like a FT for Kobe. Not to mention we have Mike Miller.

Redd, Reddick, Miller, and Battier ain't enough for ya? All they do is jack up 3s. I can name 10 other players on that roster who can hit the 3 as well. They are fine.

Kobe post's up from there on occasion.

ALlen Iverson, Mike Bibby, and VInce Carter need to be on this team. THey're all good scorers/shooters/playmakers.

As for the team USA now, the players theyve got now plus the hurt/unavailable players like Johnson, Jamison, Jefferson, Arenas, Wade, Odom etc. etc., OH MY GOD!!! These guys are LETHAL! Just FILTHY!

We all know Kobe shoots a lot of shots in the NBA just infront of the 3 point line. Imagine Kobe high posting behind the FIBA 3 point line and shoots fade away 3s. The European players are gonna be like WTF?

Because there is only 1 ball.

Lakers should be able to dominate using their inside game considering their size.

You meant USA right? Yeah, though we already have many shooters on the team. Lewis is a better scorer than Redick, but I don't think he's a better shooter as someone already said.
