K.G/Kobe (West)>K.G/P2/Ray (East)?

[PPAW4Life]

ur wrong , if kg was there instead of odom, kobe wouldnt hesitate to pass to kg, and kg isnt inconsistant like odom is

Funny....just like he didn't hesitate to pass to Shaq.

Shaq/Kobe duo should have been the first team to win 4 'Ships in a row and definitely should have won a min. of 5.

It's too bad Kobe had to ruin it all.

What do you mean by first to win 4 in a row? The Celtics have won 8 in a row.

[celticfan42487]

For a second there I thought MJ won four in a row

If you disect the deals the BOS deal doesn't even come close to what LA was offering.

If the wolves are truly rebuilding Bynum should be more valuable than Jefferson

No.

and Odom is clearly better than the crap Boston sent over. Ryan Gomes? are u effing kidding

Minn received their own first round pick back int he Boston trade (Boston got the pick from Minn. in the Davis/Wally deal, and itss lookin like a top 3 pick right now). So the trade is more like:
Telfair
Green
Gomes
Jefferson
Ratliff
Michael Beasley

For
KG

Like it or not, that pick alone was probably the most valuable asset McHale was offered in any deal, and is more valuable than Odom will ever be.

I think the lakers would have been better on the defensive end of the court compared to the current celtics team. there real only defensive liability on the other end would have been mihm/turiaf. I still think the celtics would be better than lakers overall.

Kinda hard to top the top defense in the NBA right now.

nt really if ur l.a, turiaf plays agresive D, and fish is a hgood defender, and kobe and ariza, is one of the scariest wing defending duos in the league

Bynum is a 7 footer averaging 12 10 and 2 on 65% shooting playing alongside kobe and odom. Who exactly is al jefferson playing with?

By himself.

Put AL on a team like the Bulls you have a contender

[YiYaoYue]

I would say yes. The bench of lakers is already better than Boston's bench pre signing posey/house/etc. You get 40 pts per game production from lakers bench (assuming house can get similar numbers to farmar) and then KB/KG playing the rest kobe contributing his usually 25+ pts and KG getting 20+...fisher contributes 10+, posey 10+, kwame 5pts... really hard to stop a team that can average 100+pts and have 2 all defensive players along with ariza who is also pretty good defender, kwame decent man to man and only weakness would be the point defense. Also they would most likely do some trades to get a decent center for vlad/walton as they pick up posey and house.

Lots of people aren't thinking on this forum and comparing Boston's current numbers after trades that have happened because of KG entering boston to lakers that haven't been able to do as much since they only have one star... KB is proven winner in the playoffs with the right team which is a bigger plus than two players who don't have any rings. Not to mention a coach who knows how to win. Yea lakers w/ KG will have less wins than Boston w/ KG but chances are higher for lakers w/KG and some good signing to beat SA/detroit/suns/dallas than boston is right now.

Kwame/(center acquired by trade)/Mihm
KG/Turiaf
Posey/Ariza
KB/House/Sasha
Fisher/Farmer (assuming they trade critt)/critt (assuming farmar is traded)

The Lakers wouldn't have been able to sign Posey or House. The Fisher signing took up too much of the mid-level exception and, if I remember correctly, they used the biannual exception last year on Shammond Williams. They'd pretty much have to be satisfied signing players such as Scot Pollard at the veteran minimum. There is some small chance they could have interested Dikembe Mutombo, who claimed that his primary reason for not being interested in Boston was the cold, though he also wanted to remain in Houston with Yao and T-Mac, so you can't take it as a given.
