Laker fans! What should the starting lineup be for next year?
June 26th, 2009 | 
Author: Training camp is only like a month away…
Its been a rocky offseason but it looks like Kobe's here to stay
Kobe still has 2 more years on his contract before he can opt out, so there's some relief there
I know how we have the dumbest GM in Mitch Cupcake who can't evaluate talent and run an NBA Team but its time to stop using him an excuse and move forward…
What do you think the starting lineup should be for next year?
Here's mine
C Bynum
PF Lamar Odom
SF Luke Walton
SG Kobe Bryant
PG Derek Fisher
The backcourt is one of the most experienced in the league and we have a solid potential playmaker in Walton
Hopefully Odom will be healthy enough to start the whole season
And Bynum…I WANT HIM TO START NOW! Jim Buss and the management kept him when offers of Kidd, Kg and Jermaine O'neal came along and they said he lost weight over the summer and is much more agile…if thats true I want him to start now and make an immediate impact
As a Laker fan I wanna see if this kids legit
let's not forget before the injury bug hit the lakers they were 24-12 or something and were 3rd in the west!
So it all depends on the health of players!
Players that need to be given more time
Vlad Radmanovic and Brian Cook
Cook is a good 3 point shooter we know that but his defense reaks. We can use him at the end of quarters to make a run
Vlad Rad….WE KEPT THIS FOOL after he got into a skiing injury last year. WE HAD THE OPTION of terminating his big fat 34 million 5 year contract, but Jim Buss and Cupcake thought he was a difference maker
lets see if he really is!
Give him as much playing time as possible then!
what about Walton?
we didn't sign him for 6 years and 36 million dollars (starter's money) to sit on the bench
I agree completely with what your lineup of the Lakers should be.
Fisher, Bryant and Odom are obvious choices for their positions.
Walton broke out last year with career high numbers in plenty of categories so that gives him the edge at SF. Hopefully it wasn't just cuz it was a contract year.
Bynum's verdict is still out there as I still don't know waht kind of player he will turn out to be. But I do see him being more of a contributor than Kwame Brown so I'd pencil the kid in at C for now.

Hey looks that we are not making any more moves this offseason so lets just move foward with what we have. I think that it will be a good season over all, we are going to see a suprise. GO LAKERS

I agree with your line-up.
Fisher gives the Lakers another "Big shot" option. He's a threat and take a little heat from Kobe in those typ of situations.
Kobe is the best player in the league today imo.
Luke is the type of player that every team needs. He's versatile with a very high basketball IQ.
Odom is underrated imo. In 2006, he recorded consecutive triple doubles. Now that's talent!
Bynum’s got a nice low-post game, averaged 55.8 % from the floor and he’s the only center on the team not coming off serious injury. Lots of potential.
Btw, I'm not a Lakers fan. I just call it as I see it.

Whoa, i think there's not much in the Lakers' lineup to choose form.
These are my starting members for LAL:
C- Kwame Brown
PF- Lamar Odom
SF- Luke Walton
SG- Kobe Bryant
PG- Derek Fisher (hell, Fisher was a relief!)

just to be balance with the starters and the bench. atleast even if kobe goes to bench (unlikely)
you got a leader in fisher to lead the bench.
