Lin 16-5
Kobe - 24-4-4
Randle 14/8
Thats's our big 3 IMO.
I donn't expect too much from Hill and Young. Both better suited to come off the bench. Neither should be starting. Hill maybe can be an adequate starter though. Young however can't start. |

What Kobe can do next season will actually be really important. We're clearly setting ourselves up to try to go after a big free agent in the 2015 off season. Nash, Lin, Hill, all one year contracts that add up to max. Whether Kobe looks good or hobbled this coming season, that'll completely change how free agents look at us. |

I agree Swaggy is better off the bench, but who's gonna be our 3? Wesley Johnson? Cmon now.
Unless we run a 2 guard lineup of Lin-Clarkson and shift Kobe to the 3.... |

Well, duh, of course it's my prediction. Anyway, if Kobe is fully healthy and back in form, he'll take 20-22 shots per game. If he is not fully in form, he'll take 12-15 shots per game, probably with reduced minutes. 22 ppg would require somewhere in the 17-18 FGA range, assuming that Kobe is operating with reasonable efficiency. I think that's a good mid-range prediction. 17-18 is low by Kobe's career standards, but still more than anyone on the team took last year. That would have to affect Young's shots. Lin is harder to project because he's new to the team and because we don't know how he is going to be used. Still, if Kobe and Young combined are taking 30ish shots per game, that's going to impact Lin. |

Some won't agree, but I wouldn't be shocked if you're close (or 28.5-29ppg). We may not see 2006 Kobe, but we may see a similar supporting cast. He shot 6.5 3's a game that year, we could really be seeing a high volume of bail out shots this year. |

I think due to a very weak supporting cast, the offense will be run through Kobe and he'll be taking alot of shots
Kobe: 27.6 ppg 4.3 ast 4.6 rpg
Randle: 8 ppg 7 rebounds
J Lin: 12 points 3 assists
J Hill: 10 points 8 rebounds
Nick Young: 16 ppg 2 rebounds |

28 ppg is a lot to expect from Kobe after 2 major injuries and all that time off. If anything, I think they will lower his play time to 35 mpg to make him last longer. After all, they are stuck with his contract. Why would they want to run him into the ground? |

Because they won't have to. He'll be taking ALOT of shots while hes on the floor. Just think about it. Who else is capable of scoring on that team besides him? |

I may be going out on a limb here, but I don't believe that Kobe is going to be playing 39 minutes a game like he has for his last dozen healthy years. Just look at the 6 games he played last year. They started him at 28 mpg and ramped him up to 32 mpg.
They're going to be even more cautious with him this time around. He's already come out this summer saying that he feels 100%, but only time will tell whether he is correctly assessing the health of his aging body. |

Unless MDA returns to coach I will bet whatever you want Lin does not average 8 assists. |
Lin may be the second best play maker in the starting lineup. He averaged 14 and 6 with NY and his first year with the Rockets. You truly can't see him tossing two more dimes a game when he's going to play a larger role in the offense? I can absolutely see him score 3-5 more points and throw in 2 more dimes a game. He's the Laker's best pg option. He also averaged roughly 30 mpg with NY and HOU, i'm sure we'll be seeing 35ish from him this year. I don't think my predictions are off. |
