The league doesn't really allow for that type of player anymore. Boozer is as close as an enforcer there is. |

With all the holes we have on this team we're worried about an Enforcer? |

It's true. Ever since JD left, Lakersground doesn't have an enforcer. _________________ I would rather have questions I cannot answer than answers I cannot question - Richard Feynman |

Spurs didn't have an enforcer last season and did just fine. |
Spurs have Leonard.
We got Julius who's often compared to a happier Z. Bo. |

Leonard is a great defensive player. He is not an enforcer. Do people even know what enforcers are? |

An enforcer is the least of the lakers concerns. The lakers need a lot of things. I would take a front office willing to work and rebuild before an enforcer. Plus, an enforcer these days is worthless. Enforcers died in the 80s. |

I know what you mean Rivershow. Someone who's going to intimidate the other team with locked down defense or hard fouls. I thought Leonard did that to Lebron is a passive aggressive way. Anyhow I think Randle can be that guy on our team but we'll see. |

Boozer ? Not possible without a full-on on-court personality overhaul. |

Im also confused that he is even being brought up as an enforcer. If you just look at him, it would be easy to assume he's a bruiser but he's the furthest thing from it. We're talking about a guy who got outmuscled by Pau regularly. |

Who cares about having enforcers ? That feels like issue #83 of 100 in terms of importance when writing a success plan for a franchise rebuild. I care a helluva lot more that we have a coach with a career losing record in thirteen years as an NBA head coach. |
