The Lakers are definitely a better TEAM because of his reduced avg shots per game.  I believe the TEAM is better because of his, Kwame and Chris Mihms early season injuries.  It has given TEAM members like Andrew Bynum, Vladimir Radmanovic, Ronny Turiaf, Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar, Smush Parker, Maurice Evans, and the sometimes under appreciated Lamar Odom to gain confidence in their respective games.  The true test for the Lakers is when Kobe is at 100% can the TEAM exist with Kobe??  If they can.........can you say Dark horse from the west???

Dwight Howard is beginning to shape up for the competition in the NBA. He is more like the franchise of the team now. I think the Magic really had the greatest decision in getting Howard instead of Okafor that year. Well, they need the "magic" of Grant Hill and other players like Pat Garrity who is a great shooter and scorer. Hedo Turkoglu is beginning to put up some points also in his stat sheets so he's one of the players we would like to look up to. Darko Milicic will improve because he can team up with Dwight in the post presence and dominate the paint if you may. Ü Orlando is one of my favorite teams so I would like to see them improve in the coming years.

A couple of things...\n\n-Knees; he slow to get back\n-The offense; Phil is trying for balance.  Lamar Odom has been tearing it up, and Bynum has been unexpectedly good.\n\nIf anyhting, they are playing like a team for once.  9-4, I'll take it.\n\nKobe still can go off.  He threw down 40 the other night.

Dwight Howard and LeBron James. The others have already grown up, but these guys are simply sensational. Depending on how this year turns out, you may be Andrew Bynum in that list as well.

No way, the lakers do not have enough fire power. And Lamar Odom is not yet ready for primetime. Maybe next season!

I don't really like either guys- and Stephon is getting a little older now. I like Smush though- he has really improved- #10 on the steals this season, can hit 3s and he really, somehow, has a rebounding talent. I think this trade is unlikely. If it does though, I'm sure Phil can develop Curry- but remember, that would be Curry, Kwame, and B.Cook to work with. 3 Power Forwards. I'm pretty sure the Lakers are going to trade Luke though. Smush is too valuble, and I think that Mihm needs a little more time.

Just watch Z go off this season and continue through the playoffs.  He is probably so disappointed by his playoff performance last season he's going to be watching tape all summer and just go nuts.  Plus Anderson Varejao will be much more involved next season he's a friggin beast.  Larry's shot will be much better after his finger is healed longer and just wow.  Watch out for Cleveland.

This season it has been the Clippers. They have a all-around strong team. Chris Kaman has come out and played really well at center. Sam Cassel and Elton Brand are just great players. The Lakers have depended on Kobe for too much of the season, that is why they lost against the Suns...because he didn't shoot well in the second half. This season the Staples Center belongs to the Clippers

The Lakers should give up half the team for KG if they have to. I've been waiting for this trade to go down for two years already. Plus Kobe and KG...together?...how sexy is that!?!

Oden will be better than bynum with 2 years experience.  the fact that osu has oden makes them a serious contender (in my mind) to be national champions.  he's that good....plus, it's not like bynum is getting a lot of playing time.  he's mostly on the bench so i don't know about how much experience he's actually getting.  \n\nbut i like the lakers so i hope bynum develops quickly and proves me wrong.

SUNS BABY!!! We finally got on track again - Nash, LB, 3D, TT, Matrix, are all on it...The Lakers never should have let us up off the mat. They can't run with us - we have shown we can get physical, and Smush, Kwame, and the rest (besides Odom) have tightened up. S-U-N-S Suns Suns SUNS!!!

LeBron, this kid is phenomenal. He's averaging 33 points a game, he's keeping his composure, keeping his teamates involved, not allowing himself to take the game into his own hands, he's aware that there's 4 other men on the court with him to get the job done. His awareness of his other teammates is great, it's like he's got a 3rd eye, he has that Jason Kidd thing going on without the alley-oops.\n\nKobe......still has some growing up to do now that he's on his own. He has to learn to trust his teammates when he can't get a good shot off. He has to learn that just because you're compared to Jordan, that doesn't mean you possess the same skills as him. Only Jordan has been able to take an entire team upon his back and deliver in nearly 75 games a season, Kobe must learn to help build up the players around him before he even think of doing it all on his own.

I'm not a Laker fan, but it's not the time to put too much pressure on him. He's an incredible talent whose ceiling is through the roof!  Still, he's done what he's done against teams that don't have much in the way of centers (Seattle twice...Johan Petro; Minnesota...Mark Blount; and Golden State...Troy Murphy).  And, he only played 10 minutes against GS. \n\nSo, I'm not trying to kill a buzz here, because I really like the kid's game and the Lakers have a lot to be excited about, but let's see what he does over a longer stretch and against better centers. The good news is that there aren't many better centers in the league. \n\nThe kid has a bright future.
