IMHO, the kinda bigman that the Lakers should pursuit next summer is actually Al Jefferson. He'll be a good sidekick to Kobe (yes, the Lakers will forever be his as long as he still wears that purple&piss jersey) by being a good post scorer, and should be compatible with Earl Clark on the front court (yes, i think they should resign him). Use every way possible to get him, dump DHo the clown, MWP, & old Gasol contract somewhere (while getting some picks would be preferable), and use Nash off the bench as a secondary main ball handler & perhaps a situational spot up shooter to close the game when match up allowed.
Get a young, athletic, decent PG who can play off the ball (Bledsoe preferable, but if that's impossible, someone like the Rox Tony Douglas would do), and young athletic SF or SG who can shoot & play defense (don't think Jodie Meeks will cut it). Get back to play balanced, post based offense, and somehow someway, buy out D'Antoni remaining contract & get someone decent (Alvin Gentry's not bad, so is Nate McMillan or soon to be available Lionel Hollins, motivator kinda guys). My two centz.
