Kobe/Garnett at the 2008 Celtics vs Jordan/Gasol at the 2008 Lakers, who would win the finals and why?

I'd say the Celtics would this match-up pretty convincingly, even with a healthy Bynum.
Simply because replacing Kobe with Jordan doesn't really change the Lakers too much as far as the system, play-sets etc, whilst in turn the Celtics have just added one of the all-time greats to their roster whilst not losing/replacing anything.

well, presumably the Celtics drop off Paul Pierce. But this still probably favours the Celtics.

In 2008 finals Pau was 14pgg and 10 for averages . Odom was 13ppg and 9trb. The Celtics get prime kobe who was the only bright spot for the Lakers in that series . You could give pierce to LA and the same result would probably happen .

Well Jordan was 45 years old in 2008.
