Byron believes in 3 point shooting now? Maybe this also means Ryan Kelly gets more playing time at back up PF than Brandon Bass if he wants a little more 3 point shooting.

SHAQ ON CURRENT STATE OF THE LAKERS
“When you mean 'turn it around,' do you mean a championship? Because that's done. That's not happening unless they make a miraculous trade and get four new people. Who do they have on the Lakers? I'm not sure. I'm not joking. Do they even have anyone to trade that somebody would want?"

Apparently he hasn't seen our youngins from Clarkson to Russell to Beast. Might not be ready for a championship, but I'd say many teams would like our top young players in heartbeat.
