Pipe for next season based on Gooden being waived..

Assuming we can sign Drew Gooden, that gives us 2 players in Drew & Lamar who are capable of dominating the second unit, averaging a double double if given 30 mpg.. So we have them both playing until Bynum gets back.. Then we let Lamar take all of Luke's minutes while Gooden plays the backup pf minutes.. So when Bynum is back:

Fisher/Farmar/Brown
Kobe/Sasha/Sun
LO/Ariza/Ammo
Pau/Gooden/Powell
Bynum/DJ


I think that pretty much assures us a ring this year, then next season we have some options to work with.

Lamar & Gooden would probably get close to the same value on the FA market, so we find out which one of them houston wants more.. then we S&T either lamar or gooden to houston for battier & scola.

Fish/Farmar/Brown
Kobe/Sasha/Sun
Battier/Ariza/Ammo
Pau/Odom or Gooden
Bynum/Scola

Without a doubt the best defensive duo on the wings in the league + Bynum anchoring the D.. Defenders like Brown & Ariza to bring off the bench.. Hopefully Odom would be the guy we get to keep, as he's a much better defender than Gooden.

Wake & Bake + rumors to run with = fun times

like you said, pipe for next season.
