through payton is bot very good this season~~i think laker can trade more powerful player with payton.......

who is Chris Mihm  Marcus Banks ?.....
they have coorification to trade with payton ?

also Chucky Atkins  is too short...he is not high enough, may r course a lot of problem in denfence.......

In my opinions, I think Chris Mihm and Marcus Banks are solid role players and Chucky Atkins should provide the third offense options for Lakers behind Koeb and Odom.  I doubt there will be any big name players trade involve Lakers since I expect they are going to build the "Kobe Ship" now!!!

Chucky+Kobe+Odom should form a very solid back court

Banks+Rush+Butler+Grant+Mihm should be a nice 2nd lineup.

All they need for now is to strengthen the fourt cout since Vlade won't be able to play 25+ minutes.

With this lineup, Lakers is still a playoff contender.

u say is good~~~~

bryanyip2001hk@

but .Chucky Atkins  only earn 12.o pts per game last year~~
3pt% not too high,
does him able to be the third offense options ?
i dont think so

We can take the 95'Bulls as an example.  Jordan was averaging 30+ pts, and pippen was 20+pts.  The rest of the bulls were around 10pts per games.

Now, take a look of the Lakers, I prospect Kobe will be averging 30+pts next season if he is not in jail.  And Odom should be able fill in the Pippen's role by avg 17+pts, 7 rebounds and 5-6 assists.  So, Chucky it will be good enough for Chucky to have around 10 pts and 5 assists per game.

C.Mihm can be a backup PF...
M.Banks and C.Atkins are the starting Guard in Boston b4....

Banks wasn't a starting Guard
