the Lakers f*cked up

[paksat]

and if David stern didn't veto Paul to the Lakers to help lebron and Miami then kobe never rips his Achilles and he probly wins a 6th title assuming they still trade for Howard. then he has Paul to keep him from leaving

sadly though the league office only rigs things in favor of lebron like the draymond suspension

I never looked at it like that

lebronze and wade? Fair and okay

kobe and paul? Hell no

If losing Carusso is the make or breaker to a finals run then you have a slew of other issues my friend.

The Lakers got rid of their young, organic core in favor of the all-star team route - Lebron's skillset simply prevents teammate and brand deveopment, so he needs ready-made stars to win (and still mostly loses).. I hope the Lakers fail drastically, whether it's due to injuries, chemistry issues or age.

This Lakers team might be the weirdest "contender" team I've ever seen.

They could be a first round exit or a finals team...honestly they are just so ****ing old and mismatched as a team lol.

The only way I see things working well is if Lebron becomes the secondary playmaker/plays the 4 in the playoffs and Westbrook tailors his game to be a true PG (like Stockton/Rondo type) and only takes about ten shots a game...but this will never happen.
