I think that's the main reason the Lakers didn't show Artest the door yet...Dallas was under the cap and could have placed a bid for Artest.

The Lakers front office is smart I'll give them that...

More like 9-73.

is that Metta's FG?

Yeah maybe if we traded rosters with the Bobcats.

Now just wait until one of them says "It's gon' be easy"

Nah Drew is gone.

The goal is to get to the top of the Western Conference, then win 16 playoff games. Even if they only go 60-22, going 73-9 is not necessary. No one cares that the 1995 Rockets only won 47 games or that the 2006 Heat only won 52 games.

Or that the refs won 520k.

Was that the same year Atlanta won 57 games despite Dominique Wilkins missing 30+ games? The league wasn't that strong.

No. He was traded to the Clippers for Danny Manning.

[97 bulls]

Ron harper, toni kukco, steve kerr, Luc longley were not part of the first 3peats members. The bench players were completely changed too, so I considered this is a new bulls to win 72 games.

Lol so you just eliminate two seasons? Ok.

[glidedrxlr22]

Fukc Ron Artest. 73?! They're not even gonna win 63! GTFO!

I don't think any team will... 58-60 I think will be the top records this year.

[guy]

Winning 70+ games in today's NBA is unrealistic considering the league today is stronger than it was in 1996.

Lebron's Cavs won 66 games a few years ago. Winning 70+ games is completely realistic, its just that I don't see any team in the league currently that can be that focused and determined to keep up that kind of success.

I agree. He's been terrible the last 2 seasons, and need to steps it back up to when he first came to the Lakers, or get rid of him for real.

[Whoah10115]

Should have been amnestied.

from all reports, MWP is in the best shape he's been in, in years. He was actually healthy this off-season allowing him to train hard, lose weight and get ready for the season. His defense should be stellar this year. Really looking forward to watching that aspect of this Lakers team, with MWP back in form and DH in the middle.

As far as going for the record, why not. go for it. win every game you can all the way through to the end. Set goals and go for them. They have a legit shot at chasing 70 wins. They have a lot of veteran players, who know how to perform on a nightly basis. They now have a strong bench.... on paper. DH and Nash have to be really hungry to get a ring, this is the best situation they've ever been in with a chance to do so. It should be a fun season.

Obviously the only thing that maters is winning the chip, but why not set a record along the way.
