Could be but I hope it's the Lakers getting it together .
We are a very good "on the road Team". A lil scary w/Bynum again though

It's always scary with bynum..I hope they get a decent back up big man next year..maybe go for yao or oden on the cheap

i don't believe oden will be leaving portland (and is too young to settle for less money) and yao would want starter minutes. What we should be hoping for is dwight howard wanting to get out of orlando and a sign in trade ala what deron williams and melo just pulled off this year

sign and trade for bynum or odom or Gasol??..going for howard will gut the team IMO..but howard is a beast and his offense is developing beyond dunks, it all depends If the Lakers are willing to part with 1 or 2 of their big men for howard

sign and trade for bynum and another piece..not another 7 footer. it doesn't necessarly have to gut the team, sure the salaries have to be a relative match but dwight can FORCE the trade by not signing the extension until it's a team he wants to go to. orlando would have to let him walk or take the best offer they can get from a team he wants to go to.

i think LA wouldn't give in like new york did but in reality, new york gave up 4 players to get 3 not as terrible of a trade as the media made it out to be...... but it's just wishful thinking on my part. The rumors will probably be out of control next year

Howard would make the Lakers more athletic..but he doesn't have quite the mass that Bynum does..bynum makes it hard on other teams big's just by standing in the paint..If only he didn't have all those knee operations, he would be a star like howard IMO

 

[ballinouttacntrol]

they're close enough for me. don't get me wrong, i LOVE bynum but a big with that many health problems so young doesn't bid well for his future. we all know they have the shortest careers. i'd love it if he were to have a long healthy career but i'm gonna regret them not trading him when they could've if he doesn't. it's about time to think of life after kobe

You Alright big dogg!! Never knew you had the Purple and Gold in ya

As much as I would like to see the Lakers vs deFhEAT (Heat) in the Finals... Right now Id love to see the Lakers WHOOP on the Celtics and maybe a Kobe dunk on every Player on the Roster, including the Coaching Staff!

Rookie of the Year- 2nd year B.Griffin
D-fence player of the Year, has to be D-Howard
6 Man of the year- Lamar Odom
2010 MVP- Kobe Bryant (alright, D. Rose seems to be the man)

My predictions to the Finals are

Lakers vs Bulls
or
Thunder vs Heat

GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u kidding me bro. thats blasphemy man......

Chicago is a one man team...Kyle Korver!! LOL

 

[mike dunagan]

The Pacers won. I am not saying they will win the series, but this is a team that the analysts said, "do not even belong in the play offs." They have kept the number 1 team with in a few points of winning. Today the won. Bull not as good as they think or Pacers a lot better than everyone thought?

Bulls live and die with derrick Rose..that's why I picked the miami heat to go to the finals big three would be too much for the bulls..I like the bulls but they wont stop a team like miami or even the celtics not this year anyway, but it is just my opinion..


We'll see what happens
