This is how my Laker's squad would have looked

[Mr.Kite]

Isiah Thomas
Kobe
Lance Stephenson
Hill
Ed Davis

bench
wesley johnson
xavier henry
price
sacre
nick young

This team would compete for 4th place

[ZeN]

They wouldnt have hill nor nick young had they signed those other players.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Only 1 ball, bro

[Mr.Kite]

They wouldnt have hill nor nick young had they signed those other players.

I think they have bird's rights on those players.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

They still wouldn't make the playoffs. or get anywhere close. Maybe 12th in the conference

[BlackWhiteGreen]

I think they have bird's rights on those players.

They'd have had to renounce them to sign Lance and Isaiah

[Timmy D for MVP]

So you don't want to make the playoffs OR keep the pick?

[ImKobe]

Isiah Thomas
Kobe
Lance Stephenson
Hill
Ed Davis

Really? Ed Davis can't play more than 20-25 minutes a game due to foul trouble, him & Hill are both undersized and can't seem to protect the rim at all.

Lance this season has been a worse shooter than Wes Johnson. That starting 5 would have 0 spacing. Young would have been out since training camp anyways, Xavier is just coming back to health. IT instead of Lin would have given us a little more ammo on offense, but the D would still be a concern.

That roster would be 8-10th best team in the West (best case). I guess you're trying to say Kobe took too much money, but they could have thrown the Lin money at IT or Lance (even could have signed him for less).

On paper, that team wouldn't even be as good as the Kings or the Suns...y'all trippin' with this bullshit. Two fringe all-star players wouldn't have fixed our problems on defense. Look at our front court.

Sacre being the first big off the bench? :kobe:

R.Kelly & Randle are injured, too, we could really use them right now.

[Lebronxrings]

kobe ball would still kill them.
