You have to think if this in terms of how do these guys fit your bench and right now even as a Lakers ***** I think some of these guys are a step up compaired to what LA had off the bench last year. McRoberts, Kapono and Murphy isn't as bad as people might think they just aren't the household names that Lakers fans have their eyes set on right now.

Didn't LA have depth problems?
Having McRoberts and Troy Murphy coming off the bench for Bynum and Pau isn't that bad. Its better than Joe Smith and Derrick Caracter (even though he's hurt), plus Kapono gives them legit 3-point shooting in limited minutes. He could be a Kyle Korver-type in a lesser role.
