The second problem is the mobility of Gasol.

The basic problem for any team against the Lakers is Kobe.
If Fisher remains point the Lakers are beatable.

The kobe thing goes without saying. At the same time, the lakers will have a problem with Tony parker.

The real problem is the lakers size. The spurs simply can't match up with gasol, bynum and odom. The spurs just don't have anyone in the post besides duncan. Thats the problem and thats why they won't contend.

They can always make more moves though. Lots of teams want to get under that luxury tax.

If Bynum does not "recover" he will not be a problem for any team.
The Lakers were clearly a better team without him on the floor in the playoffs.
