On paper the Lakers supporting cast is hot. In reality tho...Odom and Bynum aren't meeting "on paper" expectations, Fish is getting older by the day, and Radmo, Sasha, and Walton are OK roleplayers at best. On the other hand, Gasol is a legit All-Star PF, Farmer has talent and more...the moxie to thrive under a demanding lead guy, and Ariza is just a year or so from being a really, really good player, IMO.

The Lakers could use an enforcer. As is, their cast is a wee bit overated...but more than enough for "the player we shall not name" to get a ring with.
