Team Needs
  • PG: Speed guys hurt the Lakers, most notably Houston's Aaron Brooks in the second round of the playoffs.
  • SF: Starter Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom, a backup at the 3 and 4, are both free agents. Will they retain both?
  • A deep threat: It's getting hard to find needs at this point, but the Lakers are not good behind the arc.
