I know we have talked about these issues in the past but this is a great perspective and frankly, I hope the Lakers managment is in-tune with these issues. It was probably good they didn't go after Kidd and if it happens, KG is probably a good fit. However, I wonder if it will just be like Malone when he came in. I think KG is more dominant at this point that Malone was when he came but is he the missing cog? It would be pretty remarkable to get him (much more so than Iverson and Carmelo) and it appears it could be a great compliment to Kobe's efforts. On the other hand, Minnesota might be looking to build around him as opposed to dropping him.OCBucksFan;826843; said:While on most teams Kidd would be a valuable addition I don't think he would have been all that on the Lakers. The reason is simple, he's an assist machine, but if no one can sink a shot then he's not as potent as he would be on say Phoenix or Dallas where they have a ton of people who can shoot from almost anywhere.
Odom was great on the Clippers, but as I have said, when your team sucks it's not hard to be the shining star. No one took them seriously, and played down to their level. He's a good player, but I think in that system he looked a lot better.
As for Bynum, age aside, he's lacked motivation. Kareem has made it a point to work with him, and for a while he showed up early every time and was working on getting better, then he started showing up later and later, and that would be what has soured me on him.
