The Lakers should really get a guy on the defensive end or else they will end up like the same team that lost to Boston , in an embarassing fashion . We should not forget that . Let go of Radmanovic and Walton and get somebody who can do the job better than them , they're such a waste for big guys but no defense at all . James POSEY or Ron ARTEST is your answer . Don't waste more time !

It's a real relief knowing that Andrew Bynum is coming back this season all freshened up . And most importantly , he has healed already and I'm sure he's hungry to play for this coming season . I'm looking forward to seeing the Lakers team win the championship title this year . Hopefully , against Boston . I wouldn't mind it at all ! Sounds fun , don't you think ?

Yeah get someone new get rid off one Walton two Turiaf. Like James Posey perhaps a bigger and faster forward. Watch or scout on the College 4 potential replacement I'm sure there is someone out there better than those two when it comes to defense. Such a waste of time letting those two play, they are such a dissapointment to the Lakers history. Ohh! and don't forget to play Ariza give him alot of playing time on the court his good! I like this guy he came to LA to play. Men I saw him during the Celtics series like playing hard like there's no 2morrow dat's da way it should be for this team. Lakers da champ for 2009!

Well Ariza only played in Game 4 and did do a great job for the short time he was there.

Turiaf if a valuable player of the bench for them, the 2 they should move are Luke and Vlad but their contracts and the way they played makes them very difficult to move and get some one of value.

When Bynum comes back, there is less need for Turiaf, particularly at the $17 million price that Golden State has hung on his head. He's a great competitor and a good defender, but he will never be more than a solid backup in the Lakers rotation. There's no need to pay him a starter's salary when he will only come off the bench.

Well paying $4.5 mil perseason for a back is not alot the problem is the Lakers are over the cap and that $4.5 mil becomes $9 mil that is where the problem is.

Luke and Vlad are making more then $4.5 mil per season and they are legit bench warmers right now.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW? ARE WE REALLY GOING TO BE A FORCE TO BE RECKEN WITH. WILL WE BE THE SCARY KIDS ON THE BLOC NOW. LIKE B-TOWN WAS LAST SEASON? CAN THE LAKERS BE THAT FORMIDABLE. WILL OTHER TEAMS SHAKE IN THEIR SOCKS FROM THE MEAR MENTION THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO PLAY THE IRON CURTIN OF THE LA-LAKERS.
WHAT TEAM WOULD CAUSE US TO FRETT OVER THE SHEER BRILLIANCE OF THEIR STUNNING BRILLIANCE.

THERE IS NO DOUT IN MY MIND THAT THLAKERD ARE GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY. IM GOING TO SAY IT RIGHT NOW THE LAKERS ARE GOING TO BE REFERED TO AS THE STEEL CUTIN. THE SUPERMAN CAPE OF DEFENSE. WITH BRYANT GASOLAND BYNUM, THEY COULD BEAT MOST NBA TEAMS ALONE BUT SURROUNDED BY EVEN MORE TALENT WE WILL BE INVENCIBLE.
LETS GET THIS SEASON STARTED.
