Most of your posts consist of posting stuff off other websites you know.

ill tell you but im not gonna vote.

Start Derek fischer again as point guard. Drop payton.
Drop malone and find a better power forward. medvledenko can still play backup.
Make sure kobe and shaq are back
Phil jackson can stay if he wants, because hes got experience.
Now that you have some cap room due to starter movements
hire a lot of new bench players,because lakers bench currently sucks ass.

and there you go that is all they need to do to win the championship. one factor in the lakers horrible defeat, is that there bench couldnt help out the team when kobe,shaq, or malone sat down. Pistons had the right idea. you need a good bench to win,

seriously if i was the gm of the lakers....

1.  Talk to Orlando...and trade kobe for tracy mcgrady and the 1st overall pick and take omeka okafor or dwight howard with it

2.  talk pat riley to take the vacant coaching position

3.  trade (washed up players) veterans like fox, fisher, and devon george to a team with a lot of young talent that needs some veteran leadership with playoff experience for some youth and athleticism(denver, memphis, washington??)

4.  start luke walton at the 3

5.  keep payton and talk karl malone to come back as a back up

Worst poll ever...What they should do is try to keep Kobe and Shaq, and rebuild around them...Keep Rush, Walton, George, Fisher, and Medvadenko...Then get some free agents, and trade whoever is left over...If Kobe has a clear head this season, and Shaq gets in shape, they can bring back the championship trophy to LA for the '05...

if as many players leave as I predict, Lakers cant do much.
Shaq has passed his prime.

Kobe Bryant pretty much is T-Mac, when Kobe leaves LA to be another team's #1 guy and try to prove that he can win without Shaq. I think you'll find that the same thing that is happening to T-Mac will happen to Kobe. They're both guys that care more about their stats and aren't really good teammates (Kobe especially).

And this poll was made by Page 2 to make fun of the Lakers because the team that pretty much everyone saids would win, got destoryed and became the first team to be swept in 5 because the Lakers basically lost 5 games.

Byron Scott is the coach for the Bobcats.

Scott is the coach of New Orleans, that was announced a few weeks ago. The Bobcats maed their head coach way before Scott was even rumoured to be getting fired from NJ during the season.

I can't believe what I'm reading...You are an idiot if you think Kobe only cares about himself, and doesn't have heart...I didn't see T-Mac crying when his team didn't make the playoffs...Only someone who loves the game as much as Kobe would show emotion when his team loses...Remember Lakers getting eliminated in the 2003 playoffs? Kobe showed how much he really did care, and swore he would come back in shape the next year, and even better for the team...Unfortunately, a dumb blond bitch ruined it for him...You guys can keep arguing, but only time will tell you...

i'd say kobe is a lil better than tmac...,but if you're the lakers and he doesnt get along with shaq and other teammates, and might bolt leaving you nothing....AND you could get the FIRST PICK....you jump on the deal and anyone who wouldnt agree doesnt know theyre b-ball

Kobe and Shaq are family...Of course brothers are always gunna have their fights, but they still got love for one another...After the game on Tuesday, Kobe said he wouldn't mind playing alongside Shaq for the rest of his career...

out of those choises, i gotta go with replacing phil.  if they could somehow land okefor and keep shaq and kobe then they could definitely win it all next year.  they're just a power forward away from being the best team.

Here is what you don't get Kobe and Shaq hate each other. Kobe doesn't really have friends on the Lakers because outside of practice and games he doesn't talk to anyone of them. Kobe's a loner, who has a huge ego and that's why he's going to leave because he wants to prove that he can win without Shaq.

LOL, Kobe and Shaq DONT hate eachother, you're just an idiot who probably only knows basketball by what he hears on the 9 O'clock news...Shaq's wife, Phil Jackson, Mitch Kupchack, Jerry Buss, every Laker player, and yes, even Shaq and Kobe themselves have said that though they have their fights, they're still like brothers (and we all know brothers have their fights)...And Kobe doesn't talk to any of the Lakers? Damn, you're dumber than I thought...Kobe and Kareem Rush are good friends, and Kobe thinks Malone is one of the better people he's ever met...Boy, you've got a lot to learn...PeACe

So what do like stalk Kobe? You seem to know all of his friends are. Is he going to ahve to file a restraning order against you soon? And if Kobe and Shaq are like brothers how come Kobe wants to get away from Shaq? I listen to more sports talk than you so shut the fuck up.
