Some considerations. First of all Payton chosed to stay another year in L.A.! Personally i think he's still a very good PG. He just didnt fit in the triangle, cause he got a completely different style. He loves to run, and to make the team run. When he had a chance to do it, with the Lakers, the Lakers destroyed everything and everyone, in the regular season. They destroyed San Antonio too, running and defending. Make a team who can run, made by youngs great athlets, and i personally think Payton will still make a difference, cause nobody is better than him making a team run run run. Consider this thing, and add Caron Butler and Lamar Odom in your team. Those 2 young cats CAN run, badly. They love to run, and to make quick breaks. Add Kobe, maybe the best one in the league in those situations, and you'll have a team who can run and outrun almost everybody in the West (expecially with Odom as n.4 and Butler as n.3, togeter in the court). George is good too, in those situations. And Walton is perfect, cause he can run and he can pass so damn well. Add a good C like Brian Grant in the package, and a first round draft pick, and it's a pretty good deal for L.A.Kobe is 25, George is 26, Medvedenko is 24, Rush is 23, Butler is 24, Walton is 24, Odom is 25, Cook is 24. Youngs. Interesting. Athlets.
I like odom and caron.Grant sucks.
Odum is Injury/Weed ProneB. Grant has to play against the powerful West Forwards/CentersButler, im glad we got him.Lakers just jumped the gun because they were afraid of losing Kobe, you know they could have waited for a better deal. Again both teams got fucked. Regardless, I hope Kobe carries this team to the playoffs =)
Shaq's playing at least 70 games this upcoming season and he will have an MVP type season.
Well, it's not official only because they can't officially make the trade until this Tuesday...But everything has already been discussed, and settled.
ll, i got a question for you..and other lakers fan....arn't you a little pissed off (or sad ) that shaq is going? i mean he was one of the BIG reasons you guys won 3 straight. I know i'd be pissed
