You can't sit here and tell me there aren't many all-star caliber player that wouldn't go to Los Angeles... Hell, the Lakers almost got Jason Kidd at the trade deadline. They would have been a force by now if that went down.

close only counts in horseshoes. :p

How is Kobe the leagues best overall player? Because he can score 50 pts a game by shooting every trip down the court? I don't feel bad for Kobe or the Lakers. Kobe wanted to be the star and now he is and the team is awful. I'd be surprised if Garrnet ends up or wants to be a Laker. I can see Jermaine o'Neal going to LA before any other big name.

P.S.: GO BULLS!

I'm with you Milo...Kobe's the best player in the league right now, and probably will be for another 2,3, or 4 years. The Lakers can not continue to waste his prime by surrounding him with these young players...and Lamar Odom is not enough help. It's like watching Kobe try to lead a college lineup into the NBA playoffs.

The Lakers need to move Bynum, and maybe even Odom, and try to get Garnett in LA.
Not only that, but Phil Jackson works best when his front office gets him superstar talent. In fact, I think manager is a more apt job title for Jackson than coach.

Jermaine O'Neal is not bigtime enough to bring the Lakers a title. Garnett might be, if his good years haven't passed him by in Minnesota.

The fact that the Lakers are simply in the playoffs in the western conference is a testament to how good Kobe is. It doesn't matter one bit if you like him or not; He single-handedly put a glorified d-league team over .500.

I feel crazy making this argument as a Blazers fan... A Portland fan that thinks Kobe gets an unfair shake. Who'da thunk. :wacko:

I just turned on the TV, and they're replaying the Nets/Raptors game. I can't believe how many empty seats are in the lower level for the Nets' home playoff game.

How about the defending champ Heat being down 3-0 to the Bulls. Wait a munute, did I say the Bulls? :eek:hmy:

So? The Miami chapter of the AARP is losing to a team worth half a damn. With this line up, if Wade is hurt, the Heat have less than 0% chance to win any 7 game series with a .500+ team. You might get a game or two of solid production out of Shaq, but that's it.

If DWade was healthy, Bulls leading 3-0 would be suprising.

why on earth is there a 6th man award?
Why not?

Dwight Howard also finally had a big game, but it still wasn't enough to prevent the sweep.
