If the Lakers are unable to solve the Pheonix zone defense and end up losing this series, I wonder how much that will make them consider picking up more of a drive-and-dish point-guard. It's been mentioned at times that they might be interested in Calderon, and I can sort of see how he would be a good fit.
Maybe as an add-on to a Bosh trade, there could be a Calderon/Brown swap: a starting five of Calderon, Bryant, Odom, Bosh, and Gasol seems like it would be an upgrade to their current lineup (at least offensively, and they should keep Fisher as a situational defender), and coming back in addition to Bynum, Brown would bring added defense, athleticism, and be able to play off the ball when Turk is on the court.
