First off, you don't have the suns on the poll.

Through the end of this year? Suns

Next year onwards? Lakers
Thank you for all the memories BRoy. You were a class act and brought hope to an entire region for 5 years. You will be missed.

The Lakers then the Warriors. Shaq and Nash aren't getting any better. Elton Brand may not even be a Clipper next season. Sac is basically at about 90% of their peak unless they hit a home run in the draft. They don't even have any interesting prospects on the bench these days. They're a long ways away from the days when they had Gerald Wallace, Corliss Willamson, Bobby Jackson, Keon Clark, and Hedo coming off the bench.
"I'm sure they'll jump off the bandwagon. Then when we do get back on top, they're going to want to jump back on, and we're going to tell them there's no more room." - Kobe in March of 2005

Lakers here hands down. While Kobe is reaching his 30's, he's way too skilled to see a huge dropoff in his game to the point he won't be considered for all star selection in like his mid 30's and beyond (unless the shooting guard crop gets significantly better), and Bynum isn't even old enough to buy alcohol and he's already one of the better centers in the league pre injury.
