But u never you know, it could have an immediate effect and the Lakers can become a threat but I believe it will just take time
Wasnt Mihm good though everytime he was on the court?
It all depends from the circumstances. Like i've said thousands of times, both Odom and Brown have the skills to be considered impact players, but they are menthally wack, and it's a long run to turn them from players who never reached their potential to superstars. If it wasnt that hard, Kwame was still in Washington, and Lamar was still in Los Angeles. I've seen 2 preseason games, and Odom is still doing the same mistakes. In the last match he went 0/7 from the field. Horrible. Because he took only 7 shots. And because he missed them all. He's averaging less that 10 ppg (less than Bryant, Brown, George and even Smush Parker!) and he's shooting extremely bad (he's 2/14 from 3pts and he's shooting with .351 from 2pts and, for a player who's main goal is to use mismatches to make easy basket it's a pretty bad stat). Plus he aint impressing nobody (i've heard Phil might move him back to PF). We will see, i'm not a wizard and i can't predict the future, but right now we still got a problem. Brown is playing pretty well. I mean if you make an alley-hoop, he can dunk with energy. And if you give him the ball when he's in front of the basket, just under the basket, he can finish it hard. But i've seen no footwork, no post moves, no jumpshots, none of those things. Brown is a 4 years prospect, it's different than Odom. Odom has no excuses, while Brown is still 23 years old, so there's still space to improve. Anyway, to reply to your question, i think the Lakers will start with Parker, George, Bryant, Odom and Brown. So no PF/SF combo. Maybe PF/C. Check Phil's interviews after the game against the Bobcats.
Odom is a great player
I think Lamar is a great player. For his size, he's as versatile as they come.
