C - Bynum / Mihm / (Mbenga - if he chooses L.A. over Miami)
PF - Gasol / Powell / Radmanovic
SF - Odom / Ariza / Walton
SG - Bryant / Vujacic / Yue
PG - Fisher / Farmar / Crawford
Versatility, athleticism, experience at all levels of playoffs, vets, youth and mid-level players. Hopefully Radmanovic decides to wake up a play with some passion to give the Lakers another outside threat. Of everything this team has I would still like to see one more shooter to pull out defenses from the middle. Watching other teams scramble to cover will be fun and should ease up a ton of the court for Kobe.
Adding Bynum and Ariza to a team that already made the Finals doesn't suck either.
I'm cool with this team - let's roll!

Yeah that whole healthy thing would be nice for a change.
"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences,
and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,
for each day to have a new and different sun."
