| You don't have to get a backup for Kobe's position in oreder to elongate his career. Simply rest him more and play Odom and Bynum more. Or make a move to acquire another scoring option. But it doesn't necessarrily have to be at the SG position. |

Mo is a great backup for Kobe because the Lakers like to switch on D and he can guard 1-3. On offense, well, he's upped his average to 8 a game, I think that's getting the job done. He also gives teams a different look out there with his emphasis on the mid-range game. Plus he can post.
I don't know what you're looking for in a backup, but I can't think of a better backup type player of backup type money. |

No, we shouldn't. Just because we hit the jackpot with Bynum, doesn't mean that we should be content. Instead of settling for a 55-60 wins team, why not try for a 65-70 wins team. |
Because this team is only in its 2nd year. Bulls did not get 72 wins in 1 season... |
Unless Bynum becomes a superstar overnight(even then it's questionable), 72 for this group is impossible. |
72 is impossible in general |
