The Lakers impatience to develop their young talent is very short-sighted, and we may see another lull like the 5-6 years they had with Kobe if they cater to LeBron again.

They didn't have a guy like AD waiting in the wings when Kobe's career was winding down.

Yep. The CP3 trade was nullified and Dwight flaked out. Pau was a contemporary. They didn't get any high leverage draft picks until the very end, which were later aggregated into AD.

There is a lot of speculation in this thread and there is some doable wish list here. For one, I don't see the Lakers winning the Mitchell Sweepstakes especially if Gilbert re-signs or extends him. Secondly, the Lakers don't need to rush to find Power Forward help when they already have a guy that could be inserted into the starters role if indeed Hachimura is sent packing. Christian Wood is sitting right there. But it is entertaining.

I hope you are right DJ. I think Cassell could be a better coach than Redick.
I think Redick could succeed....he is smart and great at analyzing the game....he also strikes me as the type who could transition to the role better than say Nash did.

I just don't want to chance it.

Me neither. If this little experiment goes south, the Lakers are going to be floundering for some time.
