Just want this young team to show a willingness to play team ball.
Bingo, I'm with you bro.
there are different levels of team ball... the lakers played team ball, the bulls played team ball... The Spurs played team ball. Lakers team ball keyed on Shaq and Kobe.. Chicago's Team ball keyed on Jordan and Pipen. San Antonio keyed on a bunch of talented players. Magic Johnson team ball had him with the ball in his hands the majority of the time... So what is team ball?

Pretty sure he meant, he wants every to play for each other, instead of every man for themselves, like we saw at the end of last season from guys like ellington. Nice try...
The Lakers have all of the archetypes I like in a bball team looking ahead to the future. What they need? Time, experience, and growth.
JC: Athletic scoring PG with the ability to distribute
DLO: Cerebral playmaking SG who elevates everyone's play
A. Brown: 3&D glue guy SF
J30: Powerful point forward who is relentlessly competitive
Upshaw: Rim protecting C who doesn't back down and whose athleticism will surprise some people.
Black: High energy backup C
Nance Jr.: Athletic bench dog in the mold of a Rambis or Madsen. He'll do all the dirty work
Williams: 6th man instant offense off the bench
Brown: 6th man potential

Most production :
Randall, Okafor, Kobe, Hibbert and Clarkson ?
(that would be a pretty good front line. )
Randall, Russell, Kobe, Hibbert and Clarkson ?

The goal this year should be to get the young stars of tomorrow ready for the future. That core of Clarkson, Russell, and Randle; see if Hibbert is worth re-signing to a big deal, play Kobe, but cut the minutes and back to back games (sort of like the plan we had for Nash), see if anyone else is a top-10 rotation player, prepare for next off season and hopefully a top tier free agent.
Agree on Clarkson he makes up for almost 20 years of not having a top 30 NBA point guard. Sort of like the sea change when the Lakers didn't have a PF worth a snot and we got Mychal Thompson....
