He is asked to do way too much.

Hopefully everything stays good with the team in the offseason so they will be ready to go next year.


Kobe is a great individual talent in a game that requires team effort. GREAT players make others around them better, ala Jordan, Bird, Magic. I hate to break your heart kid, but Kobe does not posses that trait. But don't fret, neither does Lebron and these other so called "superstars" in the NBA.

I can't believe I'm still watching this. Although Sasha has been one of my favorite players, it's time for him to go.

Get rid of Sasha, Radmonovic, and Odom. Go after a guy like Michael Redd or Josh Howard.

I actually did not see your post before I started my previous get rid of Sasha post, but he is soft and doesn't know how to play away from Staples. He tries to play hard defense but he just can't.

People forget that Bynum was there when they played the Celtics in the regular season and the Celtics bullied him and dominated the Lakers. Maybe having Bynum AND Gasol would have made a big difference here but remember, if Bynum never got hurt, it's doubtful Gasol is there now.

Lakers aren't going to win a title with Odom.

It's good to have a guy that can get to the basket like Odom, but then he gets fouled and is good for 1 of the 2 free throws if that.

No Iverson. He will come in saying Kobe is the man and
just dribble the ball around. He is also really a 2.

Hoss is right Farmar is still young.

A older guy like Billups would help for a year or two.
A younger guy like the backup on Detroit...
The thing is Kobe is not an easy guy to play with.
So might have to be a PG that is already established
in running the show.

They just need to be stronger and smarter than Farmar.
And quicker than Fisher.

Can we get Kent D. to mount the Lakers and wrap them up...

He's useless. Makes Scottie Pippen look like the greatest player of all time.

It's good to see a bunch of career losers like Garnett, Pierce, and Allen finally see what it's like to win something.

Maybe one day Kobe will know what it feels like to win a championship without Shaq....but don't hold your breath, you will be the one with a blue face.

No it isn't.

Farmar will be fine at PG for the Lakers, he is young but plays with some swagger and will continue to get better. Another PG they could bring in that I think would work good with this team is Andre Miller. Again, I don't know how realistic this is but it would be nice.

Farmar is a b.itch. There is nothing nice about his game.
