I'm sick of people saying that they are old, their bench sucks, etc etc.
People forget that the bench is pretty much entirely new. It takes awhile for guys to get used to each other. It looks like Mike Brown has finally got his bench rotation close to being set. Matt Barnes seems to be playing well. Andrew Goldlock(spelling) is good for 10 or so points a game. Troy Murphy is knocking down shots.
Also, an entire new coaching staff so that takes time.
And we all know they are a decent point guard away from being at the top of the Western conference. They had that issue solved until David Stern had an ass fucking from the other pissy owners.
I think the Pau Gasol situation needs to be resolved. It seems everyday I read of another team that has a strong interest in him. Lately Minnesota has an interest. Sorry if Kevin Love or Ricky Rubio arent part of the deal, no deal. Gasol is easily still a top 5 power forward.
The trade I would make is Bynum for Deron Williams.
Alright, I vented. That's all.

I think that move by Stern was total shit. It's people like crybaby faggot Dan Gilbert that killed that. I'll say it a thousand times, the trade for Paul to the Lakers was a very fair trade. Whatever its over.

I agree with what you say and believe the Lakers team you have out there right now with that lineup can make the Finals. I do know they are not a lock, and I don't think there is anyway they could beat the Bulls or Heat.

For Gasol, they only way I would trade him at this point is to put him with World Peace or if its to get Howard, he is doing more harm then good. Any other way I wouldn't trade him.

Lakers are going to have to wait to make any move to see what move Howard will do. But for shits and giggles Gasol/World Peace for Deron Williams????

I still they should take a chance on Flynn, they might be all they need.

Deron drove Jerry Sloan out of the game. Fuck that guy as well as his former partner in crime, Carlos Boozer. If you really want to fuck up a team, grab him or 'Melo. Or Vince Carter for that matter.

If Mike Brown takes a cue from Popovich and reduces Kobe's minutes and Jerry and Mitch make a trade and pick up Aaron Brooks (if he's available after his over-seas stint), they can do it. As of right now though, Second-Round exit and on course for World Peace freak-out.
