i believe they would be. one of the worst deals in recent (last 10 years) history; any sport. the liriano deal is the only one that sticks out, right now, as heads and shoulders above it on a scale of wtf were you thinking.

Derek Lee for Hee Seop Choi has to make that list as well.... I agree with you Mofo, Lakers would be totally legit with CaronComment -
Bynum
Odom
Butler
Bryant
Fisher
Buss should stop Mitch from making trades and just focus on the draft.Comment -
They're a legit contender contender right now w/ a healthy Bynum.
To answer the question, a starting lineup consisting of Fish, Kobe, Caron, LO and Bynum, w/ Farmar, Ariza, Turiaf and Crit off the bench, is the best team in the league. LAL would also likely have another impact player on the roster, as with Caron still on the team they could've used the mid-level they wasted on Radmanovic on a useful player.Comment -
Lakers are better with Odom at the 3. They had that exact same lineup listed above before the trade except for Mihm at centerComment -
Kind of like beofre when they won the titles after getting rid of Van Exel, Jones, and Campbell, and getting a bunch of role players like grant, green, harperComment -
The difference between Bynum and Mihm isn't even close, while Caron's a significantly better player now than during his LAL days. That team lacked depth, while this Lakers squad, with Farmar, Ariza, Turiaf and co., is arguably the deepest team in the league. Also, Rudy T/Frank Hamblen aren't quite in Phil's league.Comment -
he is having a career year. its not for sure if he keeps it up for too long.Comment
