here's a possible situation:
trade away shaq for tmac. yeah it's two players that love to shoot the ball, but tmac's always said he wants to be surrounded by better players.
if lakers resign kobe, great. if they don't, they can build around tmac. not that big of a deal.
now that gaping hole at the 5. sounds like a risky action, but picking up ha seung jin from s. korea in the draft wouldn't be too shabby if he doesn't flop. kid's 7-3, 305lbs., apparently has enough stamina to play an entire game, average 27 pts. and 10 boards (given it's korea, but to be able to run for 40 minutes is impressive for a man of his size) and he's only 19. by the way... he's still growing...
and a major oversight on this thread is the lack of a coach. my choice? pat riley. great conditioning coach, has a history with the lakers, and has had to deal with egos before (let's not forget showtime).
as for other bit players, re sign kareem rush and slava. both look promising. as for the others, i don't really know.
this is all very optimistic, but some of it sounds feasible. i need somebody to slap some reality into me if it's not.
