The Lakers need a PF that can hit the 15-18 ft jumper, which is exactly what Ho Grant did for Chicago and LA.  
 
A guy who can consistently hit that mid-range shot (Malone) will draw attention (double and triple teams) away from Shaq. 
 
And while Malone may be past his prime, you act like playing with Shaq is a curse. In reality the chance to play with Shaq may have just added 2-3 years to Malones career.

 No I get it, I am just not sure I buy it.  I have never been a huge malone fan, and I have kind of a wait and see attitude about it.  I don't know if he is ready to be a role player, than again he might.  
i could be wrong but when i hear of all this talent going to LA I get visions of Portland in my head.  A team with a lot of stars that could never pull it all together.
