The Heat haven't made any investments...Lakers have. What do ya'll think?

[Javier]

Can you say why? In 5 years, Shaq will be lucky to be playing and the Heat will be in salary cap hell...Lakers will have a young Kobe and enough money to sign whoever they like...If history is any indication, Lakers are on a fast uprise...PeACe

[Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It]

the Lakers,for sure,because the plan is to have a strong team around kobe in 2 years

and if shaq gets his money that he did not get from the lakers the heat are not going to be able to keep anny players because they have to pay d.wade in 2 years,the heat are going to be like the lakers the last 2 years and sign 35-40 year olds to 1 year contracts

and then when shaq retires the heat have to build a team around d.wade and that is going to take 2 -3 years because theirs alot of young up coming teams in the east like

milwakie bucks-they got # 1 pick

76ers,they have the other A.I and doulenberg

pistons still going to be ballin

the nets

and other teams i can't think of right now

[Rampant]

if shaq is still with them, and as good as he is now....heat.

however lakers have a huge ass salary cap, you never know what they could do.

i say even, because honestly i couldnt guess 5 years from now.

Clippers, Lakers, Golden State, Philadelphia, Denver, New York, and New Jersey are all going up next year...Miami, Memphis, Sacramento, Seattle, and Indiana are all going down...

I don't believe they'll still have Shaq in 5 years  . I don't see shaq in the NBA past another 3 years becuase of his body...HE"S HUGE..that's gotta be doing somthing to his body (if you don't see it already)

[Macaframa]

Lakers are bound to be better in 5 years i dont even think heat will still have shaq

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

So if ya'll agree that the Lakers are building a better team, why do so many people think trading Shaq and keeping Kobe was stupid?

[authentic]

warriors will make playoff w/ no injuries to starting 5.
lakers will be good, but why form a team around kobe when all he does is shoot, heat have wade and jonesas big support, shaq is a ?able player for years to come w/ his injury and such, if heat have the same exact starting 5 next year they'll win championship

i said dump both of em...lol

btw, this next year....the Heat will definetely be better then LA. 5 years from now, its IMPOSSIBLE to say. Phil has a 3 year contract...so who knows if he'll even be around for that 5th year. Plus u never know what kind of moves EITHER team will make during that time. Anything can happen, Shaq wont be around 5 yrs from now in Miami...but who knows who else they could sign by then. Who even knows if Kobe is still around in LA by then. Theres just no way to know that far down the line.

[Just Another Sunny day in California]

IMO, the Lakers but i don't see them winning a championship within those 5 years.

[Capo Di Tutti I Capi]

Lakers

[ty220]

I'd like to say heat but logic and reason tesll me it's the lakers
