Kobe & Phil re-united...The divorce is over for the championship duo!!!

[TeeRaySix9Teen]

this is good for LA, but only if they still make some big moves. This current team still goes nowhere. Even Phil said it would be "amazing" if they could contend for a championship by his 3rd year of the contract.

He didn't say it would be "amazing", he said they would take it one step at a time...Same thing he said right before winning the 3 titles in LA when he first arrived...

the interview they showed at halftime of game 3, they asked him if he felt the current team could win a title. And he did say..."its a 3 year contract, and it would be amazing if we could win one by the 3rd year. Winning a championship isnt the reason i came back" Take it how u want, but that is what he said.

Point is, that's just the way Phil is...He said the same typa' shit back in '99 before he brought LA the 3 titles...Jerry Buss is aimin' high, trust me...

u know yourself NIK, you dont want to see this CURRENT team lace em up next year. U know u want to see some major improvements rosterwise. Other then Kobe, Odom and Butler...who else is there? Theres no bench, no point, Bryan Grant is the biggest waste of money in the league...they need help man. Especially in the West. Shit, i hate the Lakers....but they are used to having a winning organization in LA. And just squeeking into the playoffs wont be good enough for more then a year or two. They are gonna want to compete for a championship, and i dont see this team being a bonified contender in the west for years. UNLESS, they make some MAJOR improvements.

I'm not saying that they couldn't use help, but that help is coming...Jerry Buss has some plans and is tryna' pull a quickie here, obviously if he's only hired Phil for 3 years...Trust in the Lakers, because if history is any indication, it's only the logical thing to do...Just wait...

i dont know this, but is the 3 yr contract Buss's decision...or Phils? If everyone in LA, including Buss seems to think Phil is the savior...id imagine he'd want him for 10 yrs if he could have him.

Well, they got him for 3 years, so they got 3 years to come up with some shit, and we all know LA is a strong and powerful enough organization to do that shit...PeACe
