okay, i'm gonna stop trippin for a minute here and think future-wise. our core: baron, tay, jack, AB, BWright.
it took bynum 3 years to become what he is now. he didn't play much at all his first year. got spotty minutes last year behind an oft injured brown and mihm out with injury. phil would have played him as much as don plays brandan if kwame and mihm were healthy. laker fans wanted bynum gone, said he was a bad pick and wished they'd never traded shaq. now everyone loves him.
unlike some people on this board, i don't mind don not playing wright too much this year - especially with the west so cramped. i do think being around webber will help his growth and i think wright is bwright enough to take advantage of what c-webb has to offer. i think next year will be a big year for brandan growth wise. if brandan hardly plays next year, then i'll have a problem. his 3rd year should be as impressive as bynum's, AB's, and tay's. by that time with tay, brandan AND AB?!!! we should be straight sick. eff the lakers. let stern give them or celtics however many titles he feels they should have. let the league keep denying our players/franchise all star recognition. no one can stop the warriors from fighting back.
