L.A. Lakers: Can Chris Paul or Deron Williams Restore the Franchise's Magic?


Some fans of the Los Angeles Lakers point to the team's weakness at the point
guard position as one of the primary reasons for their disappointing failure
in the 2011 NBA playoffs, but advocates of that theory should review recent
Lakers history.

Lakers great Magic Johnson set the standard for how players should play the
point guard position at the professional level, but the franchise has not had
an elite player at that position since Magic retired—Gary Payton doesn't
count.

Los Angeles has never found a lead guard that can fill Magic's shoes, but in
all honesty, how does a team ever replace a player who is without question
the greatest point guard ever to play the game, and is arguably the NBA's
greatest player ever?

The short answer is you don't, but that hasn't diminished the team's success
in Magic's absence.

The Lakers have still managed to win five NBA Championships without an elite
point guard, and that little tidbit of knowledge is never really taken into
consideration when debating who the Lakers should target in free agency.

The NBA lockout has prevented teams from making any moves in the offseason,
but it hasn't stopped rumors from circulating. In the Lakers' case, much of
the talk is centered on how active the team will be when it comes to the
free-agency class of 2012.

The Lakers' loss in the 2011 postseason has created a subtle sense of panic
in the franchise, and the promotion of Jim Buss and the hiring of Mike Brown
to succeed Phil Jackson hasn't really helped the situation.

Brown's uptempo motion offense derives from strong point guard play, and it
highlights the position in a way that the triangle offense never did.

In the triangle, a superior lead guard was not a necessity since the scheme
made most players on the court interchangeable, but in Brown's schemes the
point guard usually initiates the offense off the dribble.

The change in offensive philosophy for the Lakers does mean the team will
need to upgrade the point guard position, but if the Lakers do choose to
pursue an elite free-agent player from the vaunted class of 2012, it
shouldn't be a lead guard.

Chris Paul or Deron Williams would both look great in a Lakers uniform and
they would provide immediate short-term relief, but neither player is a
long-term solution.

The Lakers are quickly approaching a period of transition as players like
Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom reach the twilight of their careers,
and if the team hopes to remain relevant in their wake, they will need to
build from the inside out.

Even during Magic's era, the Lakers always had a dominant inside presence,
and that has been the one constant during each of the team's title runs since
1980.

The only way the Lakers should pursue a high-profile point guard in free
agency is if they truly believe center Andrew Bynum is the future of their
post game. Given Bynum's history of injuries, that's a ridiculous assumption
to make.

I have a feeling that once the NBA's work stoppage ends, the Lakers will make
a big move if the new collective bargaining agreement allows it, but will it
be a big move for next season or a defining move for the future?

Pursuing Paul or Williams in free agency will prove the Lakers are determined
to upgrade the point guard position, but if Buss and general manager Mitch
Kupchak are serious about maintaining the franchise's relevance, they should
shift their gaze to central Florida.


大概就是 湖人高層有意在停擺結束後 有企圖想弄到CP3 或 蝶龍

想要再創魔術時代的輝煌

讓我們看下去!!!!
