you still wont beat magic or celtics so it doesnt matter
The PG matchup:
Mo Williams/Delonte West will be huge headaches for the Lakers D. Good luck containing either one of these studs.
The SG matchup:
Kobe won't have the luxary of being guarded by a pg anymore. Anthony Parker will make him work for his points and contest anything and everything Kobe attempts. Parker has the size to give Kobe .
The SF matchup:
Lebron is the best player in the league and Artest is declining so badly it isnt even funny. Bron will often send Artest to the bench with foul trouble and GMAFB about Luke Walton or Adam Morrison.
The PF Matchup:
With Jamario Moon and resigning Varajeo, we have guys who can matchup with Odom/Gasol. Varajeo would get under Gasols skin so badly that he would take him out of his game. Moon's athleticism is flat out sick and he will lock down on Odom.
The C matchup:
Shaq is still a dominant bigman who will own the out of Andrew Bynum. A rejuvinated Shaq scares Laker fans. They know how great Shaq is when he wants to be. He wants to win a ring for the king and he will.
The Bench:
With these amazing signings, the Cavs have even more depth than the Lakers do. Gibson/West/Hickson/Moon/Z>>>>>>>>>>>>Farmar/Sasha/Walton/Odom/Powell/Mbenga.
I am calling you out Laker fans. If you have any guts to disagree, explain to me why you do. Explain to me why the Cavs offseason wasn't better than the Lakers. Explain to me how the Cavs arent a matchup nightmare for the Lakers.

Celts can't win at the Q and they got worse this summer. They aren't all that. The Magic lost Hedo and got an old Vince Carter so they got worse. Plus we have Shaq to shut Howard down. Nice try kid.
lol @ Delonte West being a stud...and Bynum/Shaq is going to be interesting
But why are you comparing yourself to LA? You have to get to the Finals to have a game against them that means anything.
mo couldnt do against trash like rafer alston and jamario moon is supposed to scare me? odom would destroy him if they wanted to go small
Dude...I love that chick in your sig. She's the main reason I watch "How I Met Your Mother." Now I watch it because it's funny as ...but damn...she's freaking fantastic
Talking about Vince being old. How old is Shaq?
Who is going to stop us? Orlando got worse with VC and we have the Howard stopper in Shaq. We own the Magic now in the matchups. Boston can't win at the Q and they didn't get any better either. How are the Cavs not making it to the finals? They have the team set now. Shaq makes that much of a difference. Having him puts us over everybody including the Lakers.
I mean don't get me wrong, the Cavs had a good offseason but saying they're better than the champs who only lost Ariza and upgraded with Artest, nice try kid.
37 but he can still dominate games. He is motivated so he can keep playing at this level 3-4 more years.
You can't use "Boston can't win at the Q." That's just ignorant. The teams are different. Rasheed is going to make them tougher, and they'll have a much better team. I have Boston getting to the Finals. Cleveland is good, but I don't think Shaq makes them the best in the East..just my opinion.
Artest isn't all that on D anymore. Shaq/Parker/Moon/Powe makes us that much stronger and deeper than the Champs. You better pray you don't see us in the finals. We have the team to kick your ass and you know it. We give you all sorts of matchup problems on both sides.
lol @ saying Shaq will be at a high level after he's 40 years old.
Shaq is still a dominant player. I respect your opinion tho.
?? Have you watched Artest? Dude is top 5 perimeter defenders in the league..easy. I'm not a Laker fan by any means, but the Lakers are a better team than Cleveland...by a long shot.
yes...right now he is..but he's old, man. And if he's around 3-4 more years..which I doubt he will be, he'll be carrying a heavy frame on 40 year old legs...domination is tough at that point.
Well 2-3 more years at worse. It all depends on how motivated the big daddy is. If he plays like he did last year, he will still be a dominant big until 40-41 years old.
3-4 years highly unlikely, imo. By the time playoffs roll around next year, he would be 38. So you're saying he'll play pass 40, I don't think so.
He was one of the top defenders in the league. He is declining rather quickly. Ariza would have given James a tougher time. Better by a long shot?
I hate most Laker fans but they are certainly 10000000 times smarter than you
If he wants to, he can play pass 40. As i said, it all hinges on how motivated he is. After bringing a le to Cleveland, he may just call it quits. I bet he signs a 2-3 year deal with the team tho.
Spare me the personal insults. If you have something to bring up in a Lakers/Cavs whose team is better debate...say it.
The Lakers are pretty much the same team. Look what we did to your team last season, in the other hand you have a lot of new players that need to get into the system. At least let the season begin.
to say mo pete will give kobe but artest wont be affective against lebron is re ed. what did kobe do to the raptors? oh yea he dropped 81 on them
ummm...yeahBetter by a long shot?
