LA Lakers rumors

So with the signing of Steve Nash, I am still seeing rumors about the Lakers. Grant Hill is apparently a possibility and they are also meeting with Antawan Jamison this week. I also see 2 trade scenarios where LA trades Pau Gasol (and maybe someone else) to Atlanta for Josh Smith. I don't necessarily see Atlanta doing that, but it's out there. And then trading Bynum and MWP to Orlando for Dwight Howard and possibly Jason Richardson. That would make their lineup look like this:

PG- Steve nash
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Grant Hill
PF- Josh Smith
C - Dwight Howard

Key Reserves:
Jason Richardson, Antawan Jamison (who I actually see preferring Charlotte, which I don't mind because I love my Hornets... excuse me, Bobcats as well). Sessions, if they can re-sign him, Ebanks, and Jordan Hill if they decide to keep him instead of going after Jamison.

This would definitely create the possibility of Kobe getting his 6th ring, and maybe even 1 or two more than that.

How far do you think this team could go and for how long (Steve Nash is signed for 3 years). And would that be enough for Howard to sign long-term?
