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

Shane Battier – Memphis Grizzlies – Unrestricted – $7.4 million
The only obstacle in getting Battier would be the money situation. Battier is coming off a $7.4 million pay day last year with Memphis, and is surely looking to be paid somewhere in the same ballpark as that. If Battier would take a slight pay cut in order to help the Lakers win their 17th title, this could turn into a beautiful relationship. Battier is a high character guy, he is a solid defender, and he can knock down three’s with the best of ’em – 38.5% for his career. Although he is more of a small forward, he and Matt Barnes are versatile enough that they could play the two guard for the Lakers in Mike Brown’s new system.

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.
