One of our big FA problems is that we are the only elite team with all 5 starting positions entrenched. Orlando still needs a starting SF or SG. Cavs can add a starter at SG and PF. Lakers had PG and SF open (Fisher is old). The Spurs have SG/SF and PF/C.
Of course, by signing Artest the Lakers are giving up Odom's potential spot in the starting lineup.
