If Spree can, Eddie DEF can. Man he used to be my fav player, lol! I just want him to finish his career with a Lakers #6 jersey.

Spree is much more fit to run the point than Eddie is...Eddie is closer to a small forward more than anything. It's just how you said "Eddie backing up Kobe"...Bad idea. Eddie starting at small forward or backing up Odom (if he's still a Laker) would've sounded better...It'd be nice to see Eddie back in a Laker jersey, but I'd prefer seeing Rush back in that 21 starting in the backcourt with Kobe, or Stojakavic coming off the bench at small forward instead of Jones, who is more of the starting 5 type. Jones should finish his career a starter, he's not the type of player who should slowly subside, but rather the type who should go out with a bang. Eddie needs to find a rebuilding team, possibly head back to Charlotte and use his veteran skills to lead them to sucess...But I'd definitely not decline an Eddie Jones return to LA...PeACe

Point is probably the hardest position to play. I wouldnt experiment with that. Put a real point guard there.

I cant believe you actually think that line up will contend next season, basing it things such as Coke-Kemp maybe signing and maybe contributing, Bynam being able to do anything etc etc
You can hope for the 8th or 7th seed at the best...

If he cant work it out with Kobe, Shaq, and Payton (im taking Malone out of the equation due to his injury) it aint working with Spree involved...
you mentioned spree's work ethic... lol what about his attitude which has been proven time and time again to suck... get those Laker goggles off and see Sprewell is NOT going to make you a contender, especially with Kemp in the house...
Spree is declining, and thats a wrap... that year with Cassell as an All Star and KG dominating (whats new?) was his year, they screwed things up last season with their contract negotiating and he lost a lot of respect that season helped him earn back...
P.S Phil Jackson is over rated and past his prime, he will be good for the Lakers, but he is no massiah, same goes for LB and my Knicks, it will improve our teams, but you cant make a dollar outta 15 cents...
Why shouldn't it? It's a great line-up for the triangle...People forget who Phil Jackson is.

Spree can run point and switch off with Kobe...Kobe is excellent at running the point, so I see no reason it can't be done...A backcourt of Sprewell and Kobe would run through shit like it's nothing...PeACe

Well. Sprewell is known as a hard worker. Kobe is known as a hard worker. Kemp is working extra to get back in form. Kwame has a lot to prove. Phil has a lot to prove...I just think the line-up looks like a very hungry one...We'll see.
