Shaq to Miami for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant, & A First Round Pick...
-VZA-:
i think one thing that everybody is forgetting is that miami can still trade shaq away if they want. shaq is one hot commodity right now and they can get two good/great players for him. they have time to see how well the team gels in the beginning of next season and then they have the option to make changes later on.
as for the lakers... i think it was an ok deal. i think the best thing is that they're getting a first round draft picks next season. the draft was trash this year but with two picks in this next one, they could really come up. also, don't sleep on odom... he may not be able to do so well against the likes of a garnett or a duncan but he can hold his own. i definitely think he'll put up better numbers than malone did last year. plus, rudy t... he has an uncanny talent for making things work. lakers will have a great number of players that are willing to hustle and run the floor better than almost any other team. watch out!

how about with a shitty team? Garnett has proved he is the best or one of the best players in the NBA for about 4-5 seasons now? Last year he got help. Garnett has alwyas been up there in Points/Rebounds/Assists/blocks, top 5 or higher. I don't watch duncun play, but in fantasy leagues..Garnett/Duncun always ranked 1-2
Kobe's always had shaq to help him out. NOW, we'll see what he does without. (yea yea..i know about him scoring 40 more points in like 10 games in a ow or somthin without shaq...lets see a whole season :P ;D)

Kobe had to split his game with Shaq...Shaq doesn't help him out...Kobe has proven he's a better player when Shaq's not around, and you all will see....What do you think would have happened if you put Garnett or Duncan on the Lakers in 2000, 2001, 2002 instead of Kobe...You think they would have not been second to Shaq? It's hard to be looked at as the greatest when everyone says "Oh, it's only because you have Shaq!"...Just wait and see.

you right, Duncan and Garnett probably wouldnt rape anybody, so u made a good point. Its hard focusing on basketball after u rape somebody lol
And yah, Shaq makes Kobe better. Like i said, if u know basketball...u know this. Kobe's game doesnt set up Shaqs, its the other way around. Shaq draws the double/tripple teams. Kobe is usually being played strait up unless he catches fire. And even then, they run people at him...try to keep him from penetrating, not necessarily double him. Plus, when Shaq is double teamed more then likely he passes out of it...to open perimeter players (like Kobe). When Kobe gets double teamed...he tries to score against 2 people, rather then getting it to an open teammate. For most of the league...Shaq one on one is a mismatch. If Kobe got double teamed...passed the ball, and the ball got swung into the post to Shaq in a one on one situation where he could probably be pretty low in the post...it would lead to a score most of the time. But naw, Kobe likes the spotlight...not the team game. I honestly hope there is no chance of him coming to the Spurs, and im pretty sure there isnt now. He would have completely fucked up the chemistry.
