Lamar Odom is probably one of the better 3rd options in the league. There are very few third options who have more talent and skill than Lamar Odom. Not to mention his versatility is nearly unmatched.
Bynum was averaging 13 and 10 in 28 minutes per game. That's only going to get better.
Sleep on the Lakers. I dare you.:Sleeping:

Gasol is pretty good but comparing him to Duncan on stats alone? Gasol is a pretty poor defender to say the least and Duncan is better in him in every aspect of Basketball. Kobe has reached his prime. I mean he may get more consistent in terms of shooting but I don't see him getting to much better than he is now.
On your other posts you make good points and to be honest the Lakers look to be a dangerous team in the future. Although, the way the Hornets are conducting themselves and majority of the team being fairly young thats another team I dread the Suns going up against in the future.
