hahah okay. Maybe not Dallas since we gotta keep it in Texas.
There are too many damn teams in the west that could knock us out now

That is how the league works man. When you have championship success, teams make all sorts of big moves to improve their chances of knocking you off.
I think a lot of the Laker's success hinges on Bynum's development. If he keeps making these leapfrogs year to year the Lakers will win some iles.
Please tell me his rehab is going well and that he will be back sometime next month. In another thread someone said ESPN's Rick Bucher reported that Bynum might be "done for the year"
You'd do well to never listen to what Bucher has to say about the Lakers. He's been flat out wrong too many times to count. Bynum's recovery is going as expected and he will return in the 8 week treatment window. This has been confirmed from the Lakers themselves and by Bynum himself.
An incredible, truly awesome trade for the Lakers.
At first glance I agree that this move makes them le contenders for the next few years. Maybe even this year.
It looks like we might have a Celtics/Laker final rematch again sometime in the near future.
Maybe before the Celts window closes, we get to see the Celts/Lakers relived.
The scariest thing of all is Bynum has yet to come close to his peak potential. If he keeps improving at the rate we think he can this team will have the advantage at damn near every position against most teams.
This reminds a lot of what ppl were saying about the Boston 3 party over the summer. Deep down I knew they would be good because they all played different positions and would complement each other well. I also knew egos and chemistry wouldn't be a problem because they all wanted to win rings. It didn't surprise me at all that they dominated right out the gate.
You weren't calling them pretenders before.
I have to say The Lakers pulled a coup with that deal. Kudos to the Lakers FO. But to say that L.A. will all of a sudden dominate the WC is kinda premature. First off they have to deal with chemistry. Will Gasol easily fit in the triangle offense? That has to manifest on the court and not just on predictions by the so called experts. Second teams will not just roll over and die and hand everything to the Lakers. Our Spurs will always find a way to incorporate players who will contribute to our winning ways. The Hornets definitely will continue to improve every year. CP3, David West, Peja Stojakovic & Tyson Chandler will work hand in hand to lift New Orleans to new heights. Dallas will always contend as long as AJ is the coach. Phoenix on the other hand will need to sack to D'Antoni t0 remain afloat. I think Phoenix will be the team to be directly affected by this trade. Bynum and Gasol will definitely trash Stoudewhiner and that so called Phoenix frountcourt. As for the rest like Golden State, Houston and the others they will give L.A. and their new star studded line up a run for their money.
That's true, teams will not roll over for the Lakers. The triangle is not hard for big men to adjust to so Pau should have no problem fitting in. The main thing about this trade is that the Lakers can continue to work inside out while Bynum is out. Our team is best when teams have to double down and leave players open for wide open jumpers. I personally thought the Lakers had a good chance as they were but with Pau instead of Kwame, I really feel confident in them going far.I have to say The Lakers pulled a coup with that deal.

Gasol sucks, the dude's a poor man's Dirk with less shooting range.
Lamar = 6-10
Gasol = 7-0
Bynum = 7-0
Goodluck guarding that frontline of ours.
Yao > Gasol + Bynum + Lamar
I like Yao Ming...so if you want to believe that, be my guest.
good for ing you.
If Pau is soft Ming is toilet paper
you can call him the TOILET, because he will flush it in your mother ing face. but paper, nahh.
Yao earned the Western Conference Jan. Player of the month honor by leading the Rockets to a 10-4 month, averaging 22.4 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists.In a 111-107 win over Golden State on Tuesday, Yao tied his season high with 36 points and 19 rebounds. He is the only player in the Western Conference to be averaging at least 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks this season.

Pau Gasol is a big vagina. so shut the up.
Yao is THE TOP center in the league, Amare, howard, shaq, gasol etc are routinely owned by Yao..........especially 1 on 1 coverage.
Oden will be owned by him next year too.

Nobody cares about your underachieving pathetic Rockettes. How can a team with Ming+Tmac not even make it out of the 1st round once? Truly pathetic.
I thought Bynum was 7'1-7'2?
Right cause I'm sure Bynum and Gasol are just gonna abuse Damp and Diop. As for Odom, he doesn't need to be guarded. He's gonna blow layups and make idiotic plays, guarded or not.
What have the lakers done since winning their championships................?
thats right, so stfu, you wanna talk 'bout underachieving.........
the lake show is back, nahhh
the fakeshow is in full effect
Pau is a big vagina.
what has kobe done without Shaq? Pathetic.....
I agree. I watched alot of Grizzly games on the local FSN. He's a poptart.
thankyou, there is more fight in dirks left foot and yao ming's left thumb than in pau gasols 7 foot body.........err 7 foot vagina.
