[QUOTE="NeonNinja"][QUOTE="MoldOnHold"]Man how the Lakers fell from greatness. They're not even the best team in LA right now :>MoldOnHold
Yeah, they're literally "the other team".
I mean, they aren't that bad. They're still a playoff worthy team, but they're no championship team. Honestly though, if they get a point guard, which they desperately need at this point, they'll be a far deadlier team. D. Fish is just way too old to still be a starter. We need like a Rondo or a Williams or something. Seriously, if the trade with Paul had gone through the Lakers would have been the most ballin' team in the West, just shy of OKC. But without a guard, yeah, the Lakers will make it to the playoffs, but I don't know if they'll even get past the first round at this point.
We'll see what happens as the trade deadline nears, but I doubt the Lakers will actually get anything this year.
Regardless, I'm pulling for an Oklahoma City Versus Chicago Finals match-up. That'll be exciting as hell! But Miami and Philly are really good too this year. The East is certainly showing more talented teams this season.
Yo, if the Bynum-Howard trade goes through, and it probably will, LA is gonna be a contender again. You guys need a perimeter shooter though cause Kobe can't do it solo, and Ron Artest (oh my bad, METTA WORLD PEACE) has to put it more work. I'd say Old Man Fisher still has a year or two left in him. He's still clutch every now and then.I like Fisher. I don't want him to go away. I want him on the bench if possible. He's a great player, but we need a true guard to back up Kobe. If Dwight shows up, good for LA, I guess, but we aren't really in need of the guy. He's more dominant than Bynum so I'd like the trade, but what the Lakers should really focus on is a guard so that Fisher can come off the bench and be clutch when he's running the floor with the less experienced players.
As for Ron Artest, I mean, the Ocho-Cinco of Basketball, my bad, he needs to step his game up. When he plays well he's a great support player. But he has had a bad season so far.
