Will the Lakers repeat? Or not????

That is my dream scenario.
I want KG to get laid out by Lamar, and The Lake Show gets the
Too early to say. Wait for things to play out in the next few weeks. Also try enjoy the one the Lakers just won. You never know what the future might bring.
Too many variables to predict at this point, especially and obviously whether the team stays healthy and how re-signing / extending Odom and Ariza end up working out. Phil Jackson returning also plays a factor.While it seemed like a lot of teams repeated in the late 80s through the 90s, it hasn't been as much the case in this decade. The Lakers should still be very strong next year, but repeating is one of the hardest things to do in sports. Right now, I'd say no. But, come back to this next year around March, and that will be a better gauge of whether the team has what it takes to do it again.
If all things stay the same as in rosters today...I say why not...however with free agency and the draft coming up, it's a wait and see process.
not only has Free agency not passed. the draft hasnt even happened.
Ask me again after the draft and all free agents are signed.
Not.
They have a strong chance of doing so with the players they have. However, it is still too early to tell. Plus I think next years Spurs are going to be very, very motivated. So we'll see :P
Just like how Kobe will not win a ring without Shaq.
The formula to repeat is simple:
Health + same core + Phil = Repeat
Any deviation off any of these variables will make it difficult.
It's in the bag. This thread should be about whether or not the Lakers three peat.
Is this seriously a question?
As long as Bryant is in Purple and Gold the Lakers will always be champs.
LA is a popular destination. We have it all. Who doesn't want to play for us right now?
The Lakers will be on top for years.
And you know the last thing Adelman told CWEBB was to not leave Horry...
BIG BAD BOB
Ev'ry mornin' at the Staples you could see him arrive
He stood six foot ten and weighed two thirty five
Kinda narrow at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big Bob.
(Big Bob, Big Bob) Big Bad Bob (Big Bob)
Everybody seemed to know where Bob called home
He’d just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to Big Bob.
Somebody said he came from the Phoenix deserts
Where he got in a fight over a former team mate
And a crashin' blow from a huge white towel
Sent a Texas fellow to LA LA Land-Big Bob
(Big Bob, Big Bob) Big Bad Bob (Big Bob)
Then came the day at the bottom of the game
When a Daddy cracked and a Kobe started cryin'
Lakers were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept Bob
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made
Walked a giant of a man that the Lakers knew well
Grabbed a caromed sphere, gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone-Big Bob
(Big Bob, Big Bob) Big Bad Bob (Big Bob)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a Laker yelled out (I believe it was D. Fish) "There’s a light up above!"
And twelve Lakers scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there-his name CWEBB.
With Bibbys & Predrags they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And then smoke and gas belched out of the Magoof Bros.
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for the Sacked Kings
(Big Bob, Big Bob) Big Bad Bob (Big Bob)
Now they never rebuilt that worthless team
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few words are written on that stand
”Don’t leave Horry, Chris.”
(Big Bob, Big Bob) Big Bad Bob (Big Bob)
[Fade]
(Big Bob, Big Bob) Big Bad Bob (Big Bob)
*Many thanks to Danny Ainge for making that NBA Championship possible for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Watch and learn San Antonio. Next season the Lakers will show you what it takes to repeat and become a real dynasty.
The lakers le run was the most unimpressive le run ever. Every possible thing that could go in the lakers favor did. I don't remember KG playing, Yao playing the entire series (if i remember right the rockets were giving it to the lakers harder then kobe gives it to vujacic), or manu playing in the playoffs. Not to mention that the Magic had you on the ropes. That series could have easily been 3-1 magic (not to mention that kobe apparently gets away with rape on the court to, seriously I wish there is an NBA ref with the balls to call a foul). The lakers will be good but no chance of repeating...unless memphis would like to trade Rudy Gay and OJ Mayo for Adam Morrison, which is possible
Please. SA was gifted the Suns series in 07 by a convicted felon and Stern. Then saw the weakest finals team in NBA history in the finals.
Don't be bitter, mod. So what if the Lakers have won 4 NBA Championships this decade. It's ok. Your Spurs have done fine. Sure, Duncan is winding down, and Manu's body is compromised, but, you've done yeoman work in leaving the Suns where you found them each and every time. And that's the best thing to Cubby. , I'm proud of ya's for that.
Signs appear to be pointed towards a Lamar and Ariza re-signing.
2009/10 is going to be a weak year as teams save up for the "3 years in the making Summer Superstar Free-Agent lotto". Teams would be crazy to make a knee jerk deal and miss out on getting a LeBron/Dwade/Yao/Dirk type of player.
Lakers will repeat without much discomfort.
Question should be whether Kobe ends up with 7 or 8 rings.

I remember reading this same crud 7-8 years ago at another Spurs forum. I'll give you some credit regarding the Rockets. Those boys sure did put a scare in us but to declare that this le run was unimpressive is ridiculous. Would you admit the same had it had been the Spurs in this years playoff run with the same teams and same injuries? My guess is no. It's just hate. Plain and simple. The Magic were the ECC's. Are you down playing that accolade? They are a damn good team. What are you implying? That if it was the Spurs they would have swept them? Come on dude! Be realistic.
Lol, the only reason the lakers won it this year is because celtics wasn't 100%. That's the only way they'll repeat next year, is if the celtics aren't healthy
That's fine with me. I just tally 'em up. I never qualify 'em.
Hey, and yer Rockets look just swell::: head first--straight into the earth next to the Jazz, Nuggets and Orlando.
A le is a le, i will give you that. I am just stating that i am unimpressed. The media (BSpn in particular) have been on kobe like a fluffer at a gangbang, i just don't think that they were challenged because the teams with the experience neccesary were banged up this year. Everything that could go right did go right for papa sterns little pricesses. KG and the celtics broke the laker's souls last years but, you think that cause ya'll won more regular season games you could have beaten a healthy celtics team...get real. The lakers are a soft team and i don't feel they will be able to do it again next year. The west will be a dog fight next year and there is always the risk of injury. Lakers repeating...highly unlikely
