Oldest with most talent, I'm fine with that.

Nash is arguably top 5 PG with the Rose injury
Kobe is still the best SG
Pau top 5 PF
Bynum 2nd bect C

Jamison put up 17/6 last season (not official)
Grant Hill is still solid (not official)

Bring on the hate 8-)

To be honest, it feels good to have a team that can always pull off these moves, the Lakers are always at the top, which makes it so much harder to lose when they do, especially in the 2nd round these past couple of years. Lucky to be born in LA 8-)

Not to mention the easy looks Nash/Kobe will get him...All he has to do is make wide open threes and occasionally put the ball on the floor and take pressure off the big 4.

Yep, exactly...

This was kinda inevitable... Jamison will fit in almost seamlessly with LAL off the bench, provides a nice boost of depth. His defensive issues will be masked by Gasol/Bynum, plus Artest. Jamison isn't going to have significant defensive responsibilities, usually.

im serious though. Does winning even feel the same just cause its expected? To basically not have to work for anything? Never rebuilding? Never knowing what its like to earn or struggle to get something done? **** im just jealous. My team struggles to get a player of Anthony Parkers calibur.

The Lakers wasted like 3 years of Kobes prime with D-Leaguers, so there you have it, watching Kobe was fun, but watching Luke Walton start along with Smush Parker wasn't.

great pickup.

your preaching to the choir if you think telling me that not surrounding your superstar with talent is a horrible thing. The best we could come up with is Mo fuggin Williams.
