If Shannon Brown Departs, Who Can the Lakers Replace Him With?

Delonte West – Boston Celtics – Unrestricted – $1.1 million
Again, West is a guy who is familiar with how Mike Brown runs his team. West played under Brown in Cleveland for nearly three seasons. West can play both on the ball and off the ball, and that kind of flexibility with a bench player is a luxury to have. He is a decent three-point shooter, 37% for his career, but West has the capability to take the ball off the dribble and create shots for his teammates. He brings defensive intensity and a plethora of playoff experience. Many question West’s character, and off-court decision making, but he has a good rapport with coach Mike Brown.

Next: The Brain

Born overseas, but lived in in Southern California for most of my life. I am a third year student at Cal State Long Beach. I have been a Lakers fanatic since the day I was born. I will be the first to sing their praises, but also the first to call them out. I can't name my favorite Lakers because I have love and respect to everyone who has suited up in the Purple and Gold. You can follow me on twitter: @realdevinugland. I publish my own sports blog (mostly non-laker related) fivetoolsports.blogspot.com. I also am starting a weekly sports podcast (under-construction) on youtube under the name FiveToolTV. You can also view some of my work for a newspaper, The Daily Pilot.
