ORIGINAL: David Jerde Clearly you don't understand that Kobe plays in LA. Hello? So True! If you play on a big market team and your a selfish player, you are so much better then everybody else. People only remember the wins and they forget the losses in the big market. It is a lot easier to be the man when the owner is willing to put up the moon to make the team better. Kahn works on a fixed amount of money. Other GM's dont. We put together a great team on limited spending. Another thing to remember is that the difference between Bynum and Howard is very small....the Nash and Jamison pick ups are the big difference makers but both are getting up there Jamison 36, Nash 38. In Boston and Miami they are concerned of the age of Terry, KG, Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis but in LA there is no talk about the age of Kobe (34 in a month), Jamison (36), and Nash (39) in Feb. HMMM..OK IMO the difference between Howard and Bynum is grand canyon sized. Lakers even if Kobe doesn't play next year can still be title contenders IMO. Howard Gasol and Nash who was still great last year is very good. The differences between Howard and Bynum may depend upon how bad Howards back is. Backs take a long time to heal and lots of players are never the same after a major back injury. They are subject to lots of reinjury. Also, It will be interesting to see if Howard can keep his head in the game. I think his agent has done a lot to make him a head case. Seasons are long and stressful. The teams who look good on paper are not always the winners. Its still a teeam game and the Lakers appear to be a collection of me first guys. We will see. Other than Nash, who is kind of the anti-me. But he also kind of a girly man, with liberal leanings.
