Man i'm a little bit depressed. Our big men are K.Brown (a bust who needs to prove everything), C.Mihm (foul prone, can't play more than 25 mins per game), B.Cook (a SG with the body of a PF), S.Medvedenko (another SG with the body of a PF), C.Blount (c'mon!) and A.Bynum (not ready yet to contribuite, according to our GM Mitch).
Last year we started the season with L.Odom PF, K.Malone (he later retired), V.Divac (perfect fit for the triangle), B.Grant (coming from a good season) plus B.Cook and S.Medvedenko.
Honestly i cant say we've improved. I mean i was disappointed last season with that roster: you can't immagine how i feel now with Brown starting PF and with no bench at all.

You're being extremely dumb lately, I don't know why. You been sippin' on grandpas old cough medicine, haven't you? Kwame Brown is a bust, but he was bullied throughout his career in Washington and currently has a HUGE upside to him. Plus, putting him at power forward moves Lamar to his natural position (small forward). Do you realize how good this can work out under Phil's system? A line-up with Kwame at PF and Lamar at SF is wayyyy better than last years Lamar at PF and Caron at SF. If Brown is going to live up to his potential, like he's now expected to under Phil Jackson, then he will be GREAT. Now, Chris Mihm is no Shaq, but at least he's better than Bill Wennington and Luc Longley...Phil said he loved Mihm's potential last year when analyzing the Lakers...He can work even better with another big body in Kwame beside him in the triangle offense runned by PHIL. Mihm is not bad. Slava Medvadenko is said to be working hard on his defense as well. He's been showing a lot of positives in training camp. Brian Cook indeed is a SG in a PF's body, but who's to say that can't work out to his advantage coming off the bench for 10-20 mins? He can burn some of the bigger, slower PF's and he has a pretty nice touch...Phil will fit him in...But you know who I like better than both Cook and Medvadenko? Corey Blount...That's right, I think Blount is much stronger minded and willed than both Slava and Cook. Besides, I liked him in his first run with the Lakers and now he's an even wiser veteran...He can come off the bench to block shots, scoop up some boards, and basically be another STRONG (<key word) body to throw around...Bynum is not ready, but that's why we signed Parada. He should be able to play at an NBA level with his experience, and that's all we really need, because the triangle was never focused on the big men anyways...Aaron McKie, Devean George, Sasha Vuvajic, Luke Walton will be good roll players off the bench...You, my friend, are straight trippin'...PeACe
