Well, not really. Kidd asked for a trade, and Lakers can easly get him, if they want. But i think they aint interested cause, if they sign him now, with his 5 years big contract, they'll have salary cap problems for the next 5 years. I think they're waiting for 2006/07 to sign Yao, man. He will be a free agent in 2 years, and with Rudy T as head coach and Kobe as a partner, i think we have good chances.

ABOUT THE DRAFT PICK..
The Celtics would not get the Lakers' first-round pick if the Lakers are in the draft lottery. If that happens, the Celtics get the Lakers' first-round pick in 2006. ;D
The actual roster of the Lakers
PLAYER HT P COMMENT
CHUCKY ATKINS 5-11 G Penciled in as the starting point guard.
MARCUS BANKS 6-2 G Intriguing player with speed but is also turnover-prone.
KOBE BRYANT 6-6 G It's his team now.
KAREEM RUSH 6-6 G Could be Bryant's top backup at shooting guard.
SASHA VUJACIC 6-7 G Rookie from Slovenia will get some time at the point.
CARON BUTLER 6-7 F Will be one of the first forwards off the bench.
BRIAN COOK 6-9 F After a quiet rookie season, it's uncertain how much playing time he'll get.
DEVEAN GEORGE 6-8 F Will probably miss the start of the season after undergoing ankle surgery last month.
BRIAN GRANT 6-9 F If Karl Malone decides to return, he'll start at power forward. If not, Grant gets the call.
SLAVA MEDVEDENKO 6-10 F Just re-signed for two more seasons, could be more of a factor in up-tempo offense.
LAMAR ODOM 6-10 F Could be the league's tallest small forward at 6 feet 10.
LUKE WALTON 6-8 F Had a notable rookie season, will need to fight for more playing time.
VLADE DIVAC 7-1 C Averaged only 9.9 points last season with the Kings, but happy to be back in L.A.
MARCUS DOUTHIT 6-11 C Unsigned second-round pick must deal with legal issues.
CHRIS MIHM 7-0 C Still a project after four years in the league, he will be Divac's backup.

I would not get Chris Mihns in any trade what so ever. And it's the draft pick that gets me. Payton, ok his done, Fox, already retired. But that draft pick could be huge. Say next year a Nelson type player falls deep into the lottory, I'd be mad as hell if the Celtics, or anyone after them picks up that player. The other young players, basically trade bait anyways, because unless you can perform in L.A., they get rid of you quick. Players like Michael Cooper, Kurt Rambus, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, they stay with the Lakers because when they get playing time, they play good hard basketball. A Chris Mihns is not going to stay long. His going to play a little, suck, and might be used for 6 fouls when Shaq or Yao comes to town, and then move on next year. The Lakers don't take kindly to the Chris Mihns of the NBA, and hell even future Hall of Famers like Gary Payton get it too if they don't do well in that Forum Purple and Gold. So next year, or hell even before the year starts, some players will be moved. I just had a thought, is Rush any good at point guard, 'cause my man is a great player and the bench is not a good place for his talent. As for the scrubs we picked up, Chucky you cool, the other two, you better come correct or you'll go down with the other forgettable Lakers, 'cause if we can dump a Glen Rice and Gary Payton, imagion what we can do to towel wavers, unless of course you wave a towel like Mark Madson... :D

--- End quote ---
I actually always liked Chris Mihm...Now Luke Walton and Slava Medvadenko; them I don't like...So there goes your "all Lakers are good to you" theory...
