This is my first time so be gentle, i am gonna keep it short and sweet. I was watching the laker game last night at a friends house and he brought up a question that i found quite interesting:

If you could choose any 2 current lakers to start a team who would you pick and why?

I would go with Kobe and Gasol. Put those two on any team and you have an immediate contender. You have veteran leadership, two players in their prime and who just so happen to be 2 of the best players at their positions. Those 2 are just a killer inside out game.

Update: A better question was posed by PurpleandGold, which two lakers not named Kobe or Gasol would you pick?

To answer that question i would say farmar and Bynum. They have good chemistry and Farmar would look for the lob alot a la CP3 and Chandler.
