If you replaced Kobe with Lebron or Wade from 2000-2009..

[HarlemHeat37]

How would the Lakers look with Lebron/Wade?..How would the Heat/Cavs look with Kobe?..project them by their respective years in the league..

[lefty]

Ask me if you are going to win the lottery while you're at it

But the Lakers would have a pretty goofy looking team if they had Wade.

[Leetonidas]

Depends on what LeBron/Wade they had in which years. If you put 2006-2009 LeBron on the 2000-2003 Lakers, they'd probably better, whereas if you put 2003-2005 LeBron on the Lakers they'd be worse.

You mean we'd have quad-peat?

Bomb diggity!

[RedsLakers24]

Dont know, how would wade or lebron look with Smush Parker, Luke Walton, Kwame Brown starting

[An Unbiased Fan]

Neither would be anywhere near as effective as Kobe in the Triangle. Also, neither has played at the All-NBA/All-D level Kobe has throughout the decade. So basically the Spurs would have 6 or 7 les right now.

Ah, what I would do for that.

As I've said before, this stacked Lakers team is a myth.

LeBron's team won 66 games last year but lost in the ECF. But because they lost, people says it was a ty team. ty team that won 66 games? That 66 win Cavs team wasn't a ty team, they just choked on the Big stage.

You could easily make the case that the Lakers really weren't that good (this has been said in many threads as well prior to the championship).

Pau Gasol prior to Kobe was soft and never won 1 Playoff game. Just look at all those threads laughing at "Gasoft".
Lamar Odom was inconsistent and in-effective although exciting to watch aka "Odumb"
Fisher has never been an elite guard to begin with
Trevor Ariza warmed the benches in Orlando

Because the Lakers win, these guys are all of a sudden talented and great players, if they had lost, the haters were right all along.

[ElNono]

I just wanna know If you replaced Scott Foster with a Folding Chair from 2000 to 2009... then what, uh?

[ginobili's bald spot]

Lakers win regardless. That's what the Lakers do. We da best
