" o, is this the Memphis Grizzlies?"

"Yes, Marc Gasol for Theo Ratliff please"
Could Kobe lead this team to a playoff birth?
Experience. We have to 1st consider that Kobes as a leader has taken a team to the playoffs. Pre Collusion in 2007, Kobes had the Lakers all the way up to barely above the .500 mark and actually took them to the playoffs vs Phoenix. I think the board Laker gals can tell you what leadership that game took on.
2006 while the Lakeshow did not make the playoffs, Kobes had them close to .500
Age True that Kobes accomplished the above while younger, but he keeps himself in good shape despite grueling road trips to Staples to face the awesome Clippers. I think in all fairness we don't see LeBron, Duncan, KG and others having such a grueling road arrangement of playing dormats in their own city and home court. Kobes is unique.
Intangibles? What intangibles does a Gasol-less Kobes bring?

I smell skunk.
Actually an interesting question. I'd say yes but it's probably close, because it would also depend on the health of Bynum. If Pau went down and Bynum was still pussying through the regular season, it would be a very difficult task to accomplish. That's how important the frontcourt is for the Lakers. Odom has played great and he'd help but having Ratliff and Caracter carrying a substantial load might be asking a lot, not just because of Ratliff's age and Caracter's youth, but also because of their lack of familiarity with the triangle to make a strong enough impact offensively.
I'd say Kobe could lead them to a playoff seed but probably 6th seed or lower and wouldn't be a threat in the playoffs.
imho, you should stick with the NFL Forum nicknames cause you clearly have no idea what you're talking about
Then they won't make it to the playoffs.
Lakers didnt miss playoffs in 2006. They went 47-35 that year. But to answer the question,without Pau we don't win the le that much is true. But our team even without him is still a top 4 seed. Were so deep right now and if Bynum can do well in Pau's absence and Lamar can continue being Lamar we would probably be a 55 win team,but without Pau we ain't winning a le
At least your way, Chief, we'd be guaranteed not to get skunked.
tee, hee.
LMAO. Are you a certified re ? Are you saying the Lakers would only suffer a 2 game differential loss from last season with Gasol out for the entire season?
They'd probably be a three seed. That roster is stacked.
They're the best team in the West easily, with or without Gasol.
yes, kobe makes those players better.....not the other way around.
^That's gonna go over like a fart in church with your Spurs Bros., Bus.
You sure you don't want to cover your ass and edit that thing?
That's right it was not two but three years of Kobe without Gasol.
38-48 2005 with a skunky smell according to Tee Hee
45-37 2006 1st Round loss 4-3
42-40 2007 1st Round loss 4-1
You got no room, Fabbs, you got skunked this past Spring.
lol spurfan's only hope is an injury of another team
so ing optimistic every ing year
Let's be honest though
Fisher
Kobe
Ron Barnes
Lamar
Healthy Bynum
would utterly plow the Spurs.
yes, yes you do.
I think going sub .500 and missing the playoffs is better then getting swept in the 1st Round.
A trade of Bonner for Gasol right now would be fair right?lol spurfan's only hope is an injury of another team
so ing optimistic every ing year
Laker Bois hopes.

Laker Bois hopes.
Yeah because Bonner = A young good player in Marc Gasol,2 1st rounders and 12 million in tax relief
ScOlUCHa.
