The Lakers are top 10 in the league in three pointers made and attempted. Every PG they use (fisher, farmar, vucacic) shoots over 35%. Artest is shooting 38%. Kobe 32%. They, as a team, have taken 1028 3 pt shots and made 358.
Kobe is 70-214. Artest is 75-190. Fisher (plays 27 mins) 48-137. Compare that to:
Wade is 54-182. Deng is 23-56. Rose is 5-22. I would imagine your math is as good as your poli/sci so I will tell you that Wade/Rose shoot below 30% from the 3 pt line.
In the NBA, you can't have two guys in your backcourt that can't shoot 30% from 3 pt range and win championships. But then again, Im sure you knew that.
