Swaggy is way more important to our team than most realized. I remember all the outrage when we signed him this season. I was thrilled we got him for years for so cheap....but most were furious we signed him. He is Kobe like. Not as good as Kobe was at Swaggys age but Swaggy has an uplifting, happy personality which benefits the team, too.

Swaggy "Anti-Tank" P

Swaggy is a perfect #2 option

Kobe should get about 20FGA and score 20-25 PPG
Swaggy should get 12-15FGAs and Score 16-20 PPG
Lin needs to man up and get 10-12FGA 15 PPG with 6-9APG

Kobe #1 option when on the floor
Swaggy #1 option of bench Kobe sits #2 when Kobe in on the court
Lin #2 option with Kobe, #3 Option when all three are on the floor

Those should be the lakers 1st, 2nd and third options.
They need to have Hill and Boozer cut down on those long low percentage twos.

Ed Davis should be starting and be the 4th option at the rim with Dunks and put backs.

Hill and Boozer should be 5 and 6 and focus more on their defense

Wes Johnson should only shoot on kickout open threes.

If BS can get his team playing like this the playoffs are definitely possible.

The swag effect rubbed off on the Lakers. I think Nick Young's personality was what this team needed when they were wallowing in a sea of negativity and losses. He plays loose and has an air of confidence in his abilities.

I may be the only one, but in case I'm not, this explains as clear as mud where his nickname came from:

My guess for the p? Ask any teenage boy.

Seemed like a great playoff ingredient when he was the one single handedly pushing the Clippers past the Grizzly bears a few years ago in the playoffs

Young instantly makes the bench look respectable. I was looking forward to the close-out lineup of Lin-Young-Kobe-Hill-Davis, but maybe that lineup Scott trotted out last game for a bit, replacing Lin with Wes, might be ok too if we need more perimeter D.
