According to NBA news, Boston's rookies are both kinda good ...Allen and Jefferson

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.

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.

They may have Devin Geroge to start at SF, and then probably move Odom to PF.  Maybe they should try to acquire Peja
