1. trade Marion for Shaq
2. trade Harris for Kidd
3. Pick up Kurt Thompson
oh wait.
Bynum and Ariza would have made a huge difference and you know it.
It's the reason why LAL was 2-0 against BOS this season.

I heard Kurt Thompson is really, really good.
is he related to Isiah Thompson?
Ummm... No they don't. But"Ginobili's bald spot (favorite team: LA)" calling me a dip . yo, every one thinks you're a mentally challenged bandwagoning hater before they read a single post.@ you getting all emotional.
#1 I rest my case. The injury excuse is only valid when you are butthurt because the lakers won.Ariza and Bynum don't even belong in the same sentence as KG or Manu or Yao/TMac/Mutombo or Carmelo Anthony, Jameer Nelson even.
#2 Carmelo played. WTF are you talking about? Nelson is playing. T-Mac is never and will never be healthy, are you serious?
No actually, that isn't happening at all. You may WANT that to be the case, but it isn't. But even if that was the case who cares. A ring is a ring. But I gotta give you credit for your active imagination.Indeed, this wide world of sports shall remember 2009 as the Year of Injuries to Every Contender, or the Year of the Easiest Playoff Road of All-Time.
Once again you just prove my point for me. Thanks.I was shedding "tears" over Manu, I could give a about your no namers.
All you can do is whine about refs, conspiracies, CIA pop, or whatever other excuse is convenient at the moment. You call that basketball knowledge?Spurfan has always and will always be >>> Lakerfan in terms of knowledge of the game, lack of bandwagon riders and overall common decency.There are some good posters here with basketball knowledge but you aren't one of them. You are one of the handful that are only capable of crying about those subjects.
Yes great point. It obviously means "absolutely nothing". How could I possibly think you're butthurt with a perspective like that? My apologies. But who is this "everyone" you keep referencing?So just because you cannot accept my opinion - that your le means absolutely nothing - I'm making excuses. You just know what I'm saying is true. Every NBA fan knows it.
lol...ooops
Kurt Thompson owns!
no, Mychal Thompson
The good news is if the Lakers win it all they will show wear and tear as most champions do next season and in the playoffs and repeating is always tough assuming they win it all. They will be the hunted...teams in the West will also start to make moves to unseat them as we have seen when the Spurs were the model franchise and sort of still are.
Unlike the Spurs, the Lakers are capable of repeating.
Houston can stop the Lakers. You will not repeat

Yao recent injury means no china bball in the offseason
role player getting better and better
the front office is trying to buy a legit 7ft backup from a team with finance problem
and if tmac come back with a vengence
rocs are going be nasty
Exactly, what the Rockets have to do is keep Artest, and Wafer, the best move to make is to keep Mcgrady to see how he is progressing ( he is said to be well ahead of schedule) Get a legitimate backup to Yao, and here is an encouraging quote from rockets owner Leslie Alexander:
“We’re in a position now we can go after it,” Alexander said. “We have a team to go after it. If we can take advantage of some (financial) problems (of other teams), we’d be willing to do it.”
Rockets GM Daryl Morey:
“The town has invested in us. (Rockets owner Leslie Alexander) is going to invest in this team. He’s someone that is always going to invest smart. That’s how he got where he is. But he’s going to give me whatever resources I need to help this team be better next year. I look forward to that.”
Incase you didn't notice the Suns were horrible against the Lakers during the 2007-2008 season prior to the Shaq trade.
And I agree Kurt Thompson would have made a difference against the Lakers.
I think if Orlando would trade Dwight for Amare and J- , even Kerr would have been smart enough to do it ages ago.
Me too bro.
thx and early congrats on the championship this yr.
I've said it quite a few times, the winner of the Lakers/Houston series would have been the Champs.
But Houston can't beat LA without a healthy Yao AND T-Mac.
If the Rockets can get this lineup together for an entire Playoffs, they'd have a serious chance to win it all.
Brooks
T-Mac
Artest/Battier
Scola
Yao
That's almost a Top 5 guy at every respective position.
lol not quite
srysly? it's absolutely BS to consider T-Mac still a top 5 at SG or any other position, he used to be even the best one though. Aaron's speed may be among the top 5 in this league, but the NBA game is nothing like race&field. Overall Aaron is probably a top 15 PG in NBA, not even close to top 10 even. Their frontcourt is inarguably luxury anyways, except for the lack of a backup for Yao.
Pray and hope that Stern resigns as commissioner or dies. That's about it.
I dunno about T-Mac's health and what he's like now after surgery. He was pretty bad in 2008/09. But 06/07 he was still pretty good. If he gets back to 06/07 form, he should be a Top 5 guy.
As for Aaron Brooks, yah, he's not Top 5 but I do think he's a Top 10 Point Guard.
Not everyone can recover as well as Amar'e did from a microfracture surgery, and T-Mac's long history of injury makes him more likely than anyone receiving such a surgery to say bye to the game he loves. Seriously there is no hope T-Mac can come back next season as strong as 2 seasons ago, though we may probably see some fluke tripple doubles from him next season. T-Mac can still play some big games when he feels good, but that only happens once in every 12 or some games. We shouldn't feel surprised to see him even more inconsistent than Lamar Odom, both of them are decent role players though.
Wow dude, wow.
Brooks - Top 10 PG
Healthy TMac - Top 5 SG
Artest - Top 5 SF
Scola - Top 5 PF (or close to it)
Yao - Top 5 Center
sons God bless
