Always thought the last couple of Faker teams could use Kenny. He'd probably
manage 20-25 minutes a game behind Harper, and provides them with a
true(ish) point guard. Derek Fisher, who is probably the pick of their
current crop, is on the IL and has been for eons, and Tyronne Lue isn't
getting minutes.

KA, wouldn't be too much of a liability defensively as Kobe tends to guard
the oppositions best player in the 1,2 or 3 spots. The Lakers are far and
away over the cap, so find a matching salary, or salaries shouldn't be a
problem. Even for acquiring someone with an expiring contract would be a
decent cap relief move for the C's.

Just my 2 pence,

Simon
