I can see us getting one of the 2, not both. I would prefer Superman.

With revenue sharing, gotta keep the big market money flowing.

No buffer here. Kobe won it with with guys like Sasha, Luke, and Fartmar. Kobe is proven. Adding Howard and Paul will be like cheating.

Luva, channeling his inner and outer Asian on a cold Tuesday, being that he shrunk even more b/c its cold.

Lakers don't need Howard what they need is a PG so they need to work on getting CP

True, but, CP isn't a panacea.

I wouldn't let Bynum, Gasol, or Odom go for him.

Who would you like the Lakers to go after cubby?

Who would you like the Lakers to go after cubby?

I don't have an answer to that, Muse.

I just foresee endless headaches with both Howard & Paul once they get out there. Howard mentally & Paul physically.

Fixed!

if you get one of the two it better be CP, YOU WILL NOT GET THE 2

[Muser]

Obviously the first thing to do is to get Pau playing like 2009 Pau. Then the Lakers need a legit backup to Kobe and a starting PG who can defend.

[Killakobe81]

Killa, are you serious? How would a team of Kobe Dwight CP3 not be the favorites. It's like Laker fan is scared Kobe can't cut it so they put in these ludicrous buffers.

Where do I question if Kobe can't cut it? Crowning a team on paper is the same type of stuff that led to the 2004 Lakers implosion and the joy everyone seemed to take in the Heat losing in the finals. Would the Lakers be impressive talent-wise? Yes. But Kobe is on the wrong side of 30, Paul has had a knee injury and Howard is a DPOY but still a work in progress on offense. In theory, the Lakers pieces fit even better than the Heat's did ...
but there would be a shallow bench and if they got both probably a gaping hole at PF ...unless we take some bad contracts back. Brown though a good defensive mind is not PJ, Pop, Carlisle or even Doc Rivers. Though i have warmed up a bit to Brown, he is unproven in the biggest stage. Lebron added some pressure to the Cavs HC position but running the Lakers is a WHOLE nother level. So No, can't say we would be favorites ...but strong contender? Indeed.

All the machinations CP requires to execute his game (like Manu has to do now only CP has done it since day one) is something I don't want to have to bear witness to. I need somebody to make shots and assists, not spend an insanely inordinate amount of time baiting & switching with the refs and pissing off the opponents.
