So basically Lakers will have a lineup of 2 Kobes and a Nick Young? LOL

Try to be next Barkley would be more realistic

Re: "I don't want to be the next Shaq. I want to be the next Kobe."
He plays like Elgin Baylor. He has in no way proven he'll be as good all around obviously... but I've seen his scoring highlights and the way he tries to get inside and has the ability to absorb contact and wave his hands around all over the place with the ball in the air looks almost EXACTLY like Elgin Baylor footage. Someone should show this guy footage of Elgin and tell him to forget about BOTH Kobe and Shaq and keep playing like that.

Randle has some solid defensive plays for us throughout the preseason. When he gets PT. Originally Posted by CavaliersFTW

Yes. He had never even won a single game in the playoffs before teaming with Kobe. Originally Posted by SugarHill

You suggesting he was Top 15 or 10? Originally Posted by SugarHill

Let's not pretend guys like Ray, Garnett, Pierce, Bosh. All of those guys were considered better than Gasol at the time. And that's just out East.

Honestly, his game resembles Lebron more than Kobe or Shaq right now.

List 20 players that are better than 20/11 on good percentages (playoffs) in 09 and 10. Originally Posted by HOoopCityJones

his transition game sure does and the way he bangs in the post Originally Posted by WeGetRing2012

It was a great pick for us and the kid will beast as he gets comfortable playing in the NBA. He's one of the main reasons I didn't give up on the team and why I believe the Lakers could be a Playoff team.

20/11? He averaged 18.9 & 11 with 51% of his baskets being assisted.. Originally Posted by SugarHill

lmao @ Ray
Why don't YOU name me 20 players worse than Pau at that time. This is your claim, you back it up.
Anyway you slice it when the Celtic Big three got together in 08, Ray Allen was looked at as the better player.
