He's not too much unlike a young Kobe. He's only 21 and last year, he averaged 10 points a game in only 22 minutes a night. In the second half of the season, he showed quite a lot of potential, even averaging 16 a game in the last month of the season in 33 minutes a night. Also, like Kobe, he's a guy that won the slam dunk contest. These two guys would fit in great with LA and the whole "Showtime" atmosphere that Buss wants back. With that #5 draft selection, they could pick up a big guy that can play some defense. A guy like Joakim Noah or Al Horford might be available or maybe they go in a different direction and select a guy like Brandan Wright or Corey Brewer. Maybe even a point guard like Mike Conley could be available. I don't think this lineup is too bad:
Kwame Brown
Lamar Odom
Paul Pierce
Jordan Farmar
Gerald Green

King not to burst your bubble but you seem to have hit your head if you think that that lineup is solid.
Kwame is a backup at best, and not a very good one. His biggest asset is that he gets 6 fouls a night.
Lamar Odom is a good role player but he is a on the ball type who would not mesh well with Pierce.
Pierce is a nice scorer who can play both the transition and half court game but needs a tough inside prescence to make up for his lack of rebounding.
Jordan Farmer is a backup point guard that may develop. He turns the ball over far too often and with that line up would be good for about 8 a night
Green is not going to be a good NBA player. Who rebounds in that lineup? Who plays the tough post guy? Who guards the shooting 2 guard or active 3?
That lineup may work for you a NBA live 07 but in the real NBA it is a lottery lineup in the West,
