I dunno, ego's might get in the way of thier championship.  Chemisty is the most important thing for the lakers, fuck Malone, I never liked him anyway.  Look what happend to the Detroit RedWings this years playoffs, the best roster in the L turned out to be a total bust.

Yeah I had also contemplated that...I think they can get the right chemistry going though...Payton passes very well, he's a great point guard...Malone can post up and shit, and I think they'd work well together...these players are veterans...I don't think they'd let their ego's get in the way

Chemistry doesn't matter in basketball, I bet you if you put Kobe and Shaq on the Nuggets they'd be a championship team. So as long as you have Kobe and Shaq on your team, you're going to win championship.

By the way chemistry had nothing to do with Detroit losing in the first round. The reasons that Detroit didn't beat the Ducks was that Cujo didn't play his best and this goalie named Giggy who not only pretty much beat the Redwings by himself, but he also be Dallas and Minnesota pretty much by himself.

ahh didnt Malone say he didnt wanna play against Magic Johnson cuz he ha AIDS?

I mean fuck, it was difficult for Kobe to get along with SHaq.....now bring Payton and Malone...i think that will make it worse.......just with Payton and a solid PF

If that lineup falls through.. it would be a good team..

then again the spurs would might get jason kidd or jermaine o'neal and robinson is gone so o'neal would make 'em tough.. im lookin forward to the season no matter what with lebron and all the good shit..

I think they will win the championship with that team. Egos or not, that is so much talent. And malone could still easily put up 15 and 8 for them next season. Thats all they needed this year, let alone payton's awsome defense, and scoring.

Malone wants to win a Championship. He doesn't want to be known as the best player never to have won the big one or when it counts.

people that have played against and with malone knows that he is one selfish fuck...even the chocolate thunder said he would prefer to get the all time points shit than a championshi

All I'm saying is that no player wants to be known as the best player never to win a championship. Including the Mailman.

i say get payton....fuck malone, get a young forward or one with some more years in him like Jamal Mashburn, hell what would be THE BEST FIT would be to get Jermaine O'neal or Alanzo and leave Payton and malone alone. you got a solid PG in fisher. ain't like we're going to resign horry. also to free up $ just ask fox to retire then offer him a coaching posistion. that's what i'd do if i was Mitch.

O'Neal is going to stay with the Pacers so he can get the touches that he wants per game. Alzono is most likely going to sign with Dallas.
