Magic get a young, good all-around center to build around. Lakers get a defensive monster in the middle which allows Gasol to become offensively relevant again. Only thing left for Kupchak to figure out is where to find a good, young 3 who doesn’t go off the farm every month or so.

Trades? FA signings? Kobe Bryant leads a long, long list, which includes the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal, Robert Horry, et.al.

Don’t worry about where the Lakers will be in three, four, five years. Most likely they’ll have another ring (or two) and will be about to blow your mind with yet another titanic deal for a franchise player.

Oh, and the Thunder already whooped their tails last year.

I guess you are Mrs. Cleo’s son, you got one of those fake crystal balls, talking in a fake Jamaican accent ….ahahahaha

Since you giving predictions of the future. You definitely have predicted, the fakers won’t make it out of the first round !!!

I hope Mike Brown doesn’t F this up!!!

Cheers to all my fellow Laker fans on this site and everywhere around the globe! WE BACK ON TOP BABYYYY!!!!!!

It would be one thing if they dominated OKC in every game but the fact that the games were usually decided by fewer than 7 points when all of your 3 headed monster played at their best and OKC rarely had anyone besides Durant and Westbrook show up…

Lakers, Spurs, OKC, Clippers, Celtics, Pacers, Nets, Sixers all may test Miami in a full regular season…

In fact, most people believe Boston beat Miami in 4 straight, since Stern wanted Miami to win game 2, as they did.

mjami’s hold on the east will is tenuous at best and will ultimately be temporary.
have a nice weekend

Minnesota: “Yes we’ll give you a better, younger, less expensive PF and we’ll also take on that horrible contract of Metta World Peace for your troubles”

I mean Kahn has made some questionable decisions but he’s not that dumb.

you are pathetic. i wonder how this move affects your team’s positioning…oh wait..thats right! you dont root for or have a team! you spend all your time hating on the Lakers!

about my “outburst”…i realized it was in poor taste trying to include as many profane words as i could. thats it.

After typing this I realized you’re an incredible hypocrite so why even wate my time.

That means he is going to play his life time best, as this is his last chance for a ring . . . he’s not going anywhere else ever, nor is Kobe.

Want to double down on that backcourt?

1. They would have to beat the Thunder to have the honor to play MIA, in a finals competition

2. Miami beat the Thunder 4 games strait

3. Have you ever watched a bball game

no need to respond, it’s really not a question !

Dude, you are about to stroke out ! The fact remains:

1. Your defense has suffered the past 2 years, as evidenced by getting ran outta the gym by Dallas and beaten like a drum by the Thunder.

2. CP3, Parker and Westbrook will go for 30+ EVERY NIGHT against Nash. They probably can’t sleep, thinking about what new cross-over moves they are gonna put on dude. ahahahaa

3. The same complaints lakers had about D-Fish, not being able to stay in-front of anyone, is the same complaint you have now.

Maggott, after your last outburst you are gonna need stronger Bi-Polar meds by the All-Star break, when you realize….”YOUR TEAM ” has ZERO chance of winning…..ahahahaha

That being said, there is the defensive concern, the age, his health, and lack of Laker bench that all make things a little dicier than some people think.

In addition to the concern about Nash’s back holding up, still no bench and virtually no money left to sign anyone. I sort of have a 2004 feeling when the Lakers signed Payton and Malone and we were talking 70 wins and a guaranteed ring. Nothing is guaranteed until it’s done on the floor.
