Paul has not been exactly the picture of health lately either. I think this worsens them.

The problem is Gasol never used his size advantage. He's a soft (but extremely talented) player that virtually shut down in the playoffs last year. Agree with you about Bynum, as I think his health is a major liability. But you forget what a hard time the Lakers had in the playoffs with guards doing what they wanted to against them. With Chris Paul, this isn't going to happen.
